EVGA Announces Supernova 1600W power supply with Titanium efficiency! 96% of energy efficiency

[Lays]

Holy shit!

 

Who is the OEM of this monster?

 

 

Probably the same one as the AX1500i: Flextronics or it's Delta

 

 

Most likely superflower, the same people that have been OEMing almost all of EVGA's PSU

[Lays]

Now I can finally have a mini reactor to power that dream Quad ATI 2900XT system I wanted

 

That efficiency rating is lovely though, I just hope it's not too noisy as well. 

 

 

It has an ECO mode, which turns the fan off under all loads, regardless of power draw until the Unit hits 45C inside.

My EVGA 1000 P2 has it, and I've put 900 watt loads on it for 30 mins before the fan finally spins up, and it only spins at very low RPM when it does turn on.

 

EVGA/SuperFlower's fan technology in their PSU's is the best in the business right now for sure.

bottem row, middle input says "cpu 2" so it's working with multi socket mobo's? awesome.

 

but this high amount of wattage is even enough to take out a whole breaker in your house in the netherlands, darn.

What do you use ?

nothing  :lol:

[Birdhunter]

Wait, that means 7.24 Amps (Europe) or 15.1 Amps (US)... Looking forward for threads á la "My PC blew the Fuse" ;-)

PSU for R9 390 quad-fire.

Super Flowers (and reprands) have a relatively small ripple. Relatively, bc PSUs at those power-ratings can't get as low as smaller units (they could theoretically, but that would raise the costs).

[Nineshadow]

Super Flower is awesome <3

 

I couldn't be more than happy with my PSU.

[wpirobotbuilder]

This is awesome for high-end systems. Dual 12+ core processors, multiple K6000/Tesla cards, and whackloads of RAM/storage.

 

Moreover, you won't want to draw close to 1600W anyways -- you want it around the sweet spot, which would be 1000-1200W. That isn't too hard to do.

Considering in the UK fuses are in the plugs (I don't know about America or Europe) it shouldn't be a problem.

Some Boards have dual 8 pin CPU power, that's what it's most likely for.

[razor767]

Wow, will be interesting to see how it compares to the AX1500i.

[Trik'Stari]

I don't need it......but I want it.

[Altecice]

Im I right in thinking that most of the USA wont be able to use this (same with the 1500w) as it would trip your 110v sockets? So I guess it would be Europe only (230v)

You can use it in the USA, as it's just about the limit for the mains amperage.

 

It's only 2000W+ units that can only be used off the mains in the UK/Europe

[The Benjamins]

Well, this'll cost at least $400 after all that rebate crap... You could buy a GTX 970 for that... or like 20 used 9800 GTs.

ya, but its for the person powering 4 980/titans/R9290x.

[Me1z]

It only lets you power up to 4 high end gpus, so this seems like such a waste. 1600W is enough for 6 GPUs, and it's modular after all, so why not give us the extra PCIE pinouts? For people who actually need 1600W for a system, like me, are still better off buying two 800W power supplies. This irritates me to no end. Consumer wants product X for purpose Y, Manufacturer produces product X but without Y compatibility. Do they not understand who actually buys crazy overkill power supplies like this? This is beyond the demands of a 4-way sli/crossfire setup, this is a niche product for an unconventional system. If you want me to pay $450 for a PSU it better be able to power 6 GPUs. </rant>

[That Norwegian Guy]

I thought the US power grid couldn't output enough for a PSU larger than 1500W? Does it use dual power inputs?

 

EDIT: never did the math myself, just what I heard.

[Maslofski]

now make a 2x 240 pin version and get a dual pc case, and the masterracing can reach a whole new level

[rausch]

Absolutely Super Flower, which is awesome! There were teases about the super flower unit way back in June, with indications that it would be released by EVGA also.

 

Titanuim: WIN. Just wish they'd make a few sub-eleventy watt units

[flibberdipper]

Hope this is as good as my 650G. This thing is awesome. I wanna see Linus do something with it.

[Diederik_Gr]

I'm happy to see these kind of efficiency's being reached, must have been some serious engineering, along with the absolute best materials being used. Price tag sure is high, but this thing screams quality.

No, that title belongs to PC Power & Cooling, but few people are willing to pay for server grade tech.

You wouldn't be able to maintain enough 12V rails without having 2 power cords.
