Pricing and Conclusions

The pricing for the Tagan ITZ 1300W power supply as of October 2007 is $399.99. You can read user's reviews and buy it by clicking here.

Cost per watt. As you can see the average cost per watt is $0.31, which is a bit high. But hey, this is 1300W power supply we are talking about here.



Conclusions

During my testing, the Tagan ITZ 1300W power supply was very stable and did not have any failures or other performance issues. There were tiny fluctuations on all rails but the voltages stayed well within ATX standards.
The Tagan ITZ 1300W has both stability and silence, features Active PFC, >80% efficiency, support for 8-Pin PCI-Express as well as six +12V rails with Auto Combine feature.

If this unit would have had a modular design and was a little bit less expensive, it would definitely deserve our Editor's Choice award!

Strengths:
  -   Six independent +12V rails with Auto Combine feature
  -   Silent
  -   Active PFC
  -   >80% Efficiency
  -   Excellent build quality
  -   Main PCI Express cables shielded and have EMI filters
  -   Quad SLI/GPU ready
  -   TSCT (Tagan Silence Control Technology)
  -   Compact case dimensions
  -   3 year warranty

Weaknesses:
  -   Non-modular design
  -   Price


Given the solid performance, excellent build quality and features like Active PFC, >80% efficiency, six +12V rails, support for 8-Pin PCI-Express, Auto Combine feature and Tagan Silence Control Technology I award the Tagan ITZ 1300W power supply the eXtreme Outer Vision Highly Recommended award!
