The people that would need this understand how to use two separate PSU's for their needs, and most of the time it's cheaper to do that than to buy something that costs 1.5x what 2 PSU's of lower wattage cost.

 

I see no point in this.

1x2000W is quite a bit smaller than 2x1000W, and you don't have 2x24Pin's to deal with, although there is one PSU with their "OC Port" or something, that allows you to turn it on in sync with the main one, but 2X PSU is not really an 100% Solution

[kuddlesworth9419]

I don't see the point in this, 2,000w PSU when is anyone ever going to need that and with new hardware using less power all of the time it really makes it pointless.

If you have 2 295x2's I would imagine it would be a good idea to have this along with a dual CPU setup. There are actually quite a few builds where you would have otherwise needed 2 PSU's but now you only need a single PSU. 

[Misanthrope]

Miners, GPU clusters, render farms, ect ect

 

None of them are really "consumes" in the sense of the PC consumer market though. Some miners perhaps but the guy with 4 290xes on a basement is mostly dead now isn't?

First good reasoning I've seen on this thread. Here's my re: though: Do we know the price? If someone is getting enough room for dual GPU and CPU he's probably doing custom water loop so he has a roomy case, meaning he has room for 2 separate 1000 watt units that will probably save him a fuckton of money over this single, mostly novelty item at 2000 watts.

Yea but you need to link the two PSU's together so when one of them turns on so does the other. It can be dangerous to stick a thick wire into a PSU and into the other. It's just safer to get a 2000 watt PSU and it's probably cheaper to buy one compared to 2.

Mmmm maybe. I still think that either paying an experienced builder/electrician/whatever to do that wiring for you would end up being cheaper. Plus you can do something ghetto yourself like routing the secondary Cooling PSU to the reset button

Yea but it's probably not a good idea to do anything like that to a PSU especially if it has 1000 watts of power running through it. The capacitors in a PSU hold a shit ton of power, you really don't want to f*ck with one unless you are an electrician and even then I wouldn't bother. Just to be safe you are better off getting this PSU and you will save space at the same time.

Seems pretty damn pointless to me.. No one and I mean no one needs 2000 watts for any reasonable or sane reason.. They more than likely made like a 100 of these things just so when people come out to measure their penis' they can say they made a 2000W PSU.. Penis Measuring contests FTW!

Speaking of which:

 

I wonder if someone makes a PSU that natively has two or more 24-pin cables?

 

I would love it if I could have multiple PCs in a single enclosure, or it could be used for test benches. That might justify more common uses of 2000W PSUs.

No no, I mean putting a jumper like the ones you use for custom water loops, except hook it up to the reset button header of the pc. That way you basically would need to power the system by licking "reset" and then "power".

Sounds cool but it's two or three times overkill in a normal consumer grade rig. What I think is that this PSU is just for show in a market where a 500-600W component will bring most of the profit.

[Altecice]

I'd rather have a completely DC house. 

 

Erm I may be reading that wrong but you are AC. DC cannot travel long distances well.

Who is Super Flower?? Never heard of them. 

Probably the best PSU maker out there...

If the fan only turns on above 700 or so watts, I MUST HAVE THIS. Finally would be able to run my system dead silent at full load.

4-6 Titan Z's in one PC, good luck with a 1000W PSU, that is not wery consumer end, tho

Well, 4xR9 290X's Clocked to the max, and one 4960X would draw quite a bit of wattage...

 

And is it just me, or does almost everyone seem to forget that pushing a PSU to the max is no good idea, when thinking about noise and heat...

Thank god someone else realised this! Some PSU's fans does not turn of before 50%, if this is the same, you could draw 1000W Not having the fan turn on

[Misanthrope]

4-6 Titan Z's in one PC,

 

No offense dude but that really doesn't helps the "not pointless" argument. I know, I know: Titan zs have their uses, a Cuda dev can certainly use them (though he'd be better off with a proper Quadro card) on a workstation. But as we mentioned, this PSU marketed for consumer grade pcs? Pointless.

i've got a question, would the 2000w be used constantly or will it be used when its needed

[kuddlesworth9419]

No no, I mean putting a jumper like the ones you use for custom water loops, except hook it up to the reset button header of the pc. That way you basically would need to power the system by licking "reset" and then "power". 

Might work but you would probably have to delay the actual power button so it isn't in sync with the reset button. I am assuming it would be a bad thing if your GPU powers on before your motherboard and CPU.

Notice that I said "a reasonable or sane reason". To start with 4-6 Titan Z's or 4xR9s in one computer is neither of those. Now, you could say well why not, but I mean really you'd be stupid to even do that as it's just wasting power for no real reason as I mean what kind of gains to get from having that many cards in SLI/CrossFIre at that point? (Pretty much none that are noteworthy).. Secondly, You also have to think that you could even run all of that monstrosity on a normal high wattage PSU without any issues since really GPU's don't take nearly as much power as people seem to think. Finally, about the Noise an heat thing while reducing heat and noise is a valid argument I think there are already many solutions out there far less asinine than this that would work comparatively. (Because if you really need that much wattage without your fan turning on I'm sure whatever is drawing that is already making more noise to begin with..)

Your pc will only pull as much power as needed.
