exccept 6+2 pins are a pain to plug and unplug and look uglier due to the contorted wires.

I dont see how the wires are contorted...maybe you just have a shitty PSU?

So we could run 4 Titan zs or 2 295x2s and not have the psu fan spin? That sounds sweet

I'm betting PSU. I've seen instances of an extra half inch or more of wire for the extra 2 pins when I go in to clean and repair a computer. Sometimes I even get an extra $20 to reroute wires for better airflow.

This thing going to need what a gold plated power plug cable?

Probably silver since it's the best metallic conductor (though it has that lovely oxidation problem over time).

This PSU would be perfect for those of us who have server boards from Tyan or Supermicro (or EVGA Super Record boards) and 2x CPUs, and a ton of GPUs. Assuming it comes in cheaper than server grade PSUs.

 

Only downside is it delivers 2KW at 220-240v, so for people in the USA, we need to wire it up to a split phase circuit, which isn't a big deal for offices/workshops/datacenters. For residential use, most people would have to pull a separate split phase circuit from their power panel.

 

To be honest, if you have a machine that pulls ~1000W constantly, and you need that extra 4% to 6% efficiency (at 50% PSU output), then this PSU would be nice for those people as well.

High quality PSUs use a separate two cables for the extra 2 pins instead of that dumb-looking wire loop that cheap PSUs use.

or you can just buy a 5kW server PSU? :)

Don't even get me started on server PSUs. I have an older Dell Poweredge with 2x 6 core xeons, dual 7950s (for folding/boinc projects (only if I don't' have a render job running)), with dual redundant hot plug PSUs, and let me tell you, its efficiency sucks. But hey, it makes a good space heater  :P.

At this point, the development of higher wattage powersupplies is superfluous due to most hardware is moving towards higher power efficiency... Unless you're buying a 380x. Then you'll probably find a use for this guy.

For max Furmark load maybe... Under gaming constraints that better be whole system power draw...

Fuck it i'll run multiple systems from it. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Enough that I've seen issues firsthand trying to run two on a 1500W AXi. The thermal control of the PSU can't keep up with the change in temperature causing PSU failure.

That's because the AX1500i has OCP enabled by default set to 30amps. You can slide it to 40Amps or just fully disable it for unlimited amps through a single pcie cable.

Could plug in 3x 6+2pin connectors to power a 24pin ATX, theoretically (please dont try this at home)

Doesn't the 24pin have 3.3 and 5v wires?

inb4 9590 5.5 GHZ , 295x2 crossfire on one PSU.

Actually 1500W sohuld be more than enough, Tomshardware run 295X2 on 1000W PSU.

OC3D was having trouble running TWO 295x2 on a AX 1500i.

 

They had a intel cpu.

 

Now imagine a 9590 at 5.5 GHZ.

 

Fun.

2000w 80+ platinum and not a single 8 pin connector :| rly?

It has 9, 6+2 which can either be 8 or 6 pin connectors.

So no, it has 9.
