EVGA SuperNova 2000W G1+ Power Supply

[Atomic Explosion]

So I plan on getting this PSU, https://www.newegg.com/p/1HU-00J7-00878?Item=9SIAR88D0P4749. Apparently you can only get it in Asia

Should I trust the Seller??

Don't say it's overkill, I plan on overclocking everything!!!

First.

What are your specs?

[Chiyawa]

Hmm... Well, maybe you can tell what things you are overclocking, maybe we can give you a better solution?

 

For an average user, with Ryzen 3950X, RTX2080Ti, and custom water cooling, with everything overclocking to the max, it barely hit 800W mark. With 2x RTX2080Ti, It only soar close to 1200W.

 

My system, a Ryzen 3600 CPU, AMD Vega 64 and all fan coolers only uses up to 600W to 650W max. A 750W PSU is fine for me.

 

Anyway, this PSU is designed for digital currency mining system, with so many GPU 12V connector. If that's the case, an overclock GPU might consume close to 400W (so far I haven't come across any GPU that can gobble up 400W), so yeah, with 4 GPUs, your power requirement is just right.

As for trusting the seller, I'm not really sure. electronic shopping system or online shopping is not my best field. I do advise caution while shopping online. Check for store reputation, how long it has been there, and whether the reviews can be trusted or not. In many cases, check the price, as many of the time they can give a fake seller away.

Do you have a power outlet in your house that can even supply that many watts? It's common for US household outlets to cap around 1800 watts (15 amps 120 volts)

I think that can be arrange, but he will need a special wiring. I saw that many household with very large water boiler and centralised AC could consume 3000W or more, so I think it is possible. They'll likely need to use two Life wire combine.

This is probably a troll post, but that PSU requires a 240V outlet so ignoring the question of do your really need it (you almost certainly don't), you would need a 240V outlet, which if you are in the US is going to be a problem.

Not too much of a problem, just get one ran, electric stoves, AC units, and clothes dryers all need and have 240V outlets so the power is already there.

 

They will just add a dual breaker in the Fuse Box then run the wire and put in the outlet.

 

Simple job for an electrician.

I didn't say you can't do it, just that it would be a problem. Unless you plan on putting your computer in the laundry room, kitchen, or garage, (assuming there are free 240V outlets there), you would need to pay an electrician to add the circuits for you going to what is probably a bedroom, which would require tearing down drywall from the breaker box to the bedroom to run the wires in the wall. Not exactly something I would consider "not too much of a problem"

They would just fish the wires most likely.

 

Had to have it done myself with multiple Window AC units that needed 240V.

 

As long as the existing wires aren't stapled in the walls it won't be too hard and they normally aren't.

First, this unit uses outdated topology, second, it's not clear whether it's actually full-range (i.e derated to something like 1.6kW with 120V input) or just plain 230V only, third, i bet you don't actually need even 1kW to start with, not to mention 2kW, and lastly, for that price it's definitely a hard pass anyway, you can get AX1600i for 70$ more if you actually want a top quality high wattage unit or alternatively, EVGA's own P2 or G2 1.6kW for even cheaper than this thing.
