         Finding a good power supply in nowadays is not the easiest thing for someone to do. With a vast variety of models in the market by many companies, both known and unknown, buyers are bound to get confused. Like i always say usually when buying a good brand PSU with big wattage output you are almost certainly getting a good power supply unit. Of course there are always exceptions in every rule, but more or less this is one way to choose a power supply if you don't know much about the subject. Having reviewed more PSU units than anyone else around i must say that i have gotten used and fond of it and so it is always a pleasure to see that companies have faith in me to review their latest units. Like most of the times today on the table i have a new unit made by Spire. Most of you know Spire from their reputation for manufacturing great CPU Coolers, however they have entered the enthusiast / gamer PSU market with a very interesting power supply unit.

        The unit that we have in front of us today is Spire's flagship power supply, the RocK IT 1000W and as you will see soon it is quite a remarkable good looking unit with a vast number of features, a great bundle and a modular connector type that we rarely see in power supplies. That aside we are here to see if it is as good when it comes to performance. 1000W should be more than enough for most enthusiasts and gamers and for those that it won’t i am sure that Spire is working on something for you as well.
