2000W Platinum Consumer PSU, aaaaand EU Only OFC

[iExpurge]

this makes a whole of 0 sense.

even with 4x 209x overclocked this would be overkill, a quality 1500w should do that with enough overhead.

the only use i can think of is for a rendering farm/coin mining that uses 3-4 dual-gpu cards. which again basically no-one does.

Your pc will only pull as much power as needed.

thank you

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..)

To the last part, ever heard of watercooling?

[Bsmith]

So it can run a multi CPU config with 8 GPU's?( 4way SLI and 4 way crossfire) if not then im still dissapointed.

(watercooled config ofc.)

Depending on the GPU's and if you overclock everything, yes

I know a lot of people running dual 1200-1500W PSU's and this could solve it...

 

Really, what the hell are they powering?

[matin94]

im sorry but everyone else deserves this being EU only, because how many times things have been US only? quite a bit, Nvidia Shield. US gets most things before us, like the H440 NZXT case. few things but the point is, US does this too, also super flower isnt even widely popular. first i heard of it was just a few months ago.

 give it time, it might come.

I got a 1300G2 for the upcoming 5960x and 1 780 Ti Classified KPE and a ax1200i for the other KPE, HDDs, pumps etc. If that EVGA 1600G2/P2/T2 comes out at a reasonable price, I will likely sell these off and go with a single PSU again.

I could only see this useful for 3 card+ setups when heavily OCing. For some people it's awesome.

[WinNut]

I would have to redo my breaker or split the 230V line that goes to the air conditioner to power this beast.

[Admire]

Well maybe America should use 230/240V as it's just better, less losses involved in transmission for a start.

Oh and you can power higher wattage things without having to worry as much about putting stupid amounts of current through a device.

 

If we can't get them to use the metric system, we can't get them to do anything.

[bob345]

brb while i power four pc's with this psu

Every house in the country would need a new fusebox and new wiring. Every household appliance, every TV, every lightbulb would need exchanging (if you plug a 110V [anything] into a 240V plug it will literally burst into flames in your hand). It would be prohibitively expensive to convert the US to 240V.

[flibberdipper]

Quite a lot of problems with DC power, especially in power transmission, generally it's better to just convert it to DC where it's needed.

You know, like the fact that back in the day when electricity was really new and cool, DC could only travel 10 or so miles without needing another plant or something to push it for another 10 miles.

That is not all right, you would need new fusing, but the wiring would probably take it, except if you have REALLY thin wires... And most household appliances, at least over here can use both 110V and 230V

Yeah, but would you trust somebody to check every single appliance, just in case? Because if they miss just one appliance that isn't 230V compatible, there is a very good chance that their house will burn down.

True

[sof006]

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.

Two 295x2's... A good 1K W on its own. Then throw in the other components, also you may want to power a pop corn maker and a few other household objects as well.. perhaps a microwave.

Correct....which is only the case because you fucking refused to adapt when everybody else did so;-)

 

Well, science, military etc etc already uses it.

 

I am aware that it would be extremely expensive and i don't really think its a option at this point. but there were times when it could have been done but the opportunity were not taken.

 

Have to point out that you lose a lot of money by not having the metric system. Any company selling anything outside of the US will have to spend money on dual labeling....Extra cost to calculate...But its far more hurtful for international trade since a lot of countries simply don't want to deal with it.....American export would be far larger if you had the metric system. Would be irritating for the current generation but massively beneficial in the long term.

 

But it won't happen. You guys are too stubborn.

[tharvey]

For what?  This is a little overboard

[Altecice]

Its EU only because 110V cant produce enough wattage to power 2000W. 120 v house breaker can deliver 1675 watts to each circuit (If I worked it out right w/v=a )

They may have 20A Breakers, which would be 110V*20A = 2200W...

Don't worry, I would not admit to it either;)

 

Naaah im just taking the piss
