2000W Platinum Consumer PSU, aaaaand EU Only OFC

[Fetzie]

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

 

And even then they couldn't turn on a light or have a couple of monitor without triggering the breaker if their PC is drawing 2kW...

And if it would ever drop down to 90% efficiance, it would trigger the breaker

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.

Extreme OCers

Extreme OCers

 

dual CPU motherboard with lots of RAM for a RAMDisk and two 295x2 for rendering or something.

But even then, 2,000w is massively overkill.

 

Extreme overclockers have done perfectly fine without 2kW.

But that wouldn't require the need for a 2kW PSU though would it

Yes, the best of these guys hook up a 1000-1200W PSU for every 8-pin PCI-E connector

Not if you have 4x R9 290x and a 4960x

Haven't people already done 3 and 4-way XFire with those without 2kW?

then Extreme OC them all and have shit tons of Hardrives OR MINERS

What's wrong with having options?

Nothing but 2kW is fucking pointless mate.

 

I want to see PSU's achieving damnj near 100% efficiency (or at least 99%), with more efficient components coming out a PSU of this wattage is pointless. What next a 3kW PSU or even a 4kW.

As was said before. If fan in this PSU won't spin until 50% load you can hook 1000W system on it and run it completely silent. For some people it have a big value.

I understand but my OCZ 550w PSU the fan is always running and unless you place your ear right next to it you can't even hear it.

 

What is the price of that thing anyway?

Lets say that this 2000W PSU is going fanless before it hits 50% load and you want to make power hungry (1000W) system in mineral oil. If you plan to reuse that PSU later your fan will be OK because it will not break if it wont spin so you wont have to worry about PSU being faulty later. I dont know the price but it will be somewhere betwen 250-350 € for sure.

Also next thing is taht PSU power and efficiency degrades after time. This is no doubt a very quality build PSU so it wont be that significant degradation over time. So if you use this PSU and you are power hungry user you wont have reason to buy another PSU ever again. (unless there will come new standard with cables and you will have to switch to new PSU because of lack of certain connectors).
