Corsair AX850 Power Supply Review

Corsair AX850 Power Supply Review

This time I step back from the software end for a bit to focus on hardware again. For this weeks review, I will focus on a upgrade I am doing to my own computer, a power supply unit upgrade. I am upgrading from the Thermaltake Toughpower 700w (W0106-RU) to a Corsair Professional Series Gold 850w (AX850). This PSU is 80 Plus Gold certified, currently the most efficient class on the market. I made the switch over a week ago now, and am posting the video, and have a few extras to add. First, the fan rarely kicks on. I have not done a whole lot of gaming lately, but will post when I do as to the noise level. The cablels themselves are much better, longer, and seem more durable than the Thermaltake. As of this moment, I am sold on Corsair technology, and my next review will continue with it.

Eee 1000HE Corsair 2GB Ram Install

Heres the ram install on my New Asus Eee 1000HE. Guys this little netbook is pretty sweet. I find myself using it on the couch, in bed, and while sitting on the porch. Now i know I could have done all these things with my Apple MacBook, but to do it in a 2 pound netbook, one handed, and not really treat it like a 00.00 Laptop was and is a blast. I love using it and so does Amy (Her HP Mini 110-1025) So heres the ram I used so you know if you purchased this ram it will work with your 1000HE. tinyurl.com •Forthose who want to follow me on twitter and get any inside info, follow me here: twitter.com •For those that want to be made aware when I start a BlogTV, go to my YouTube Channel page and click the BlogTV Link and subscribe to me there for SMS text or twitter for show starting announcements.
