Introduction
The power supply market is extremely competitive lately, especially in the enthusiast segment. Most of the major companies have released 1kW or greater PSUs which are for the most powerful computer systems available today.
We reviewed several very powerful units during the past few months from various companies. Today we will take a look at another very powerful 1kW PSU designed and built by Akasa, the PowerMax 1000W. The PowerMax 1000W is the first 1kW+ unit Akasa have released and there is also a 850W model.
The PowerMax 1000W unit promises high power output, low noise operation and high efficiency in one unit.
