Alienware power supplies

[asim1999]

Now that Alienware has released their new 1500W Area-51 PSU, i an curious about how it is and their power supplies in general:

1) What are the quality of the components inside like  (e.g, do they use Japanese capacitors) and who makes the PSUs?

2) Are they 80+ rated?

3) How strong are the rails on the unit(s) and can they sustain max output?

4) do they have things like Over-Current protection and Short Circuit protection or will they just explode in a power failure?

 

thanks for the responses

much appreciated

They're 80+ Diamond certified. Diamond in-crusted that's why a crap graphics card in a system is worth so much.

IKR, 270X for $1700 lol.

It'll likely be like any other proprietary Dell PSU, as cost effective as possible. High quality components aren't very cost effective.

Alienware/Dell is by far the worst boutique PC builder around.

PC Specialist and Digital Storm FTW!

But seriously, how did they get it to 1500W then?
