ENERMAX Unleashes the Beastly MAXREVO 1800W Power Supply

[RejZoR]

Jesus some hanging onto how I called a damn circuit breaker like orangutans on bananas. Chill out ffs. I'll just call them varovalke and then scratch your heads.

[Rune]

Lame.

EVGA knows where it is at

Jay from "JayzTwoCents" and Steve from "Gamers Nexus" need to get one of these for testing and review, especially for when doing extreme overclocking. 

Did they pull out their old design and pushed it to 1800W??

IIRC in the UK, we have circuit breakers, usually these are a "per room£ breaker, but for bigger items (electric ovens, boilers and such) they have their own breaker, usually these are rated for higher amperage too... we also have separate circuits for lower amperage things, like bathroom extractor fans.  Fuses are found in most appliances "plugs" that go into the outlet/socket, and the fuse is rated for the intended purpose, so that it would trip to help prevent damage/fires...our supply is 240Vac.

In the UK you have fuses in the Plugs...

Sorry not necessarily sure I understand what you are saying. But based on what you quoted, I'll try to answer you.

 

They were trying to beat records on 3DMark using crazy setups with super high overclocks on 18-Core CPUs (5.0+ GHz) with dual 2080 Ti's in SLI or more recently RTX Titans in SLI. Coupled with overkill cooling setups using LN2, Dry Ice, Ice Baths, Sub-ambient watercooling etc. In doing so they were pushing the volts and because of the setups had to use two power supplies to get everything to work properly.

you mean Jonny, Have yet to see anyone come close to him in terms of PSU reviews.

Ah, I see what you're saying. Not sure maybe this one perhaps, only 100w less than the model in OP:

Yeah, if you read through the thread many are in agreement that JonnyGURU would be more fitting, but if you also read through you will see why I chose those two (do to their recent Extreme Overclocking escapades).

Are you referring to the website or the person? As you link the website but refer to it as "him"?
@jonnyGURU (the person) no longer does PSU reviews for JonnyGuru.com, and hasn't done for several years. I believe reviews are mostly handled by OklahomaWolf at Jonnyguru.com these days.

The reviews by Aris Mpitziopoulos are quite informative, you'll find most if not all the PSU reviews on Tom's Hardware website were done by him.

That's due to the spike that microwaves have when the magnetron kicks on. The draw spike is typically high enough to kick a 15amp breaker if anything else is running on that circuit. That's why they recommend installing them on a dedicated circuit.

 

Laughs in Uk Power Grid. Seriously if we had anything much other than electrical cookers that acted like that there would be hell to pay. Heck a quick bit of research indicates our kettles individually draw more continuous power, (3kw+ for larger fast boil models), than most microwaves do peak.

 

Then again we really love our tea. National Grid has to be pretty reinforced to handle the loads we can put on it somtimes because of that.

We have the availability to run 220, we have both "120" and "220" supplied to residential properties. Voltage isn't as large of deal as people make it out to be. If someone needs it, it's available. Most just choose not to run 220v circuits throughout their house and only for devices that require it. For example I have a dedicated 220 circuits for my workstation, welder, compressor, drill press, table saw. So on and so forth. I could install 220 for a coffee pot, but it isn't going to make it any quicker.

 

This is a conversation for another topic though.

OklohomaWolf retired in November of 2018 so it's just Tazz at this point.

You are going to blow breakers in most typical houses unless it's wired for 20 amps or higher lol

Run that thing at full power in older houses and you'll do more than blow the breaker.

I was commenting more on how our power systems are engineered so we never even have to consider somthing like that. I wasn't trying to make a better worse thing.

 

This is probably worth watching to give you an idea of how overengineered our grid is, (and why):

Yes and the Rail Distribution is freacking insane bullshit.

Whoever designed that PCB had no clue what the heck they were doing...

Its just awful and an incarnation of the worst shit you can do with Multi Rail...

 

One Rail is wasted for the ATX Connector. WHY???

One for the CPU (OK...)

 

The rest is shared.

12V4 with 3 Drive Connectors

12V6 with the other 3 Drive Connectors

12V3 and 5 have both TWO 12pin Connectors...

 

That is just bad...

Was just thinking that! My little place here in the midlands of Ireland has brownouts in some storms, and winter.
I can't imagine running that with a system that can push over 1600W.

Even though i'm not a big tea drinker myself it allways amused me too. It's why i enjoy opportunities to link to it. It's just inherently funny.

 

As an aside the Challenger 2 is the only MBT in the word with a built in kettle.

Most, if not all, water pumps for custom loops use molex. It can delivery more power than SATA.

 

I guess an 1800W PSU is just LN2 overclockers? Anything else needing that kind of power probably lives in a rack mount case.

I guess... you probably don't need 6 though, and you could easily adapt them from PCIe connectors.

[SenKa]

An 1800W PSU, and not for dual system/1PSU configs? Wat tu hecc Enermax.
