2000 WATT PSU !

[qwertywarrior]

hook this baby up to the Enterprise Scotty

We're gonna Warp Drive like its 1999

 

 

 

80 Plus Gold-certified. It complies with EPS 2.92 standard, and supports low-power C-states on Core "Haswell" processors. Its maximum power output, however, depends on its input voltage. When plugged into 90 - 120VAC lines (US, Japan, Canada, etc.,) it caps out at 1600W. When plugged into 210 - 265VAC lines (EMEAI, Greater China, etc.,) it belts out its maximum 2000W

 

fully-modular PSU includes a 24-pin ATX, four (that's right, four) 8-pin EPS connectors (which can each be split to two 4-pin connectors); eight 6+2 pin PCIe connectors, nine 4-pin Molex, twelve SATA, and one 4-pin Berg connectors.

 

654$

can I power two pc's with this one psu

[bchampion96]

What's the point? Just get two lower wattage ones in a case that supports it.

Four if you know what you're doing

why ?

 

because i can damn it !!!

I just sat and watched your avatar the whole way through o.0

I really dont get why you would waste your money on this, your not going to be hitting anywhere near the maximum wattage.

Can't see anyone actually using this apart from the odd reviewer benchmarking quad titans for example or something, apart from that just why? there is really no need !

[Ookami]

2000W and in reality it cant handle 1000W propably.

[KieranThePCGuy]

Wow, you would need such a power hungry system to use all that. If that's even possible to use all that.

[Spannerhands]

AMD should put this with a 9590 bundle and call it 'The Melter'...its good that there are raising the power, i know every thing at the more is all power saving, but more power, more speed

 

1200W more than enough 

[thirdworldking]

what could anyone possibly need 2000 watts for?

[RuecanOnRails]

I know I could find a use for one.

Unfortunately the price, and efficiency isn't high enough to warrant the single psu set up. Better to use multiple 750 watt psu's work better for large products.

 

Uses for these include set ups where you're not running the conventional consumer rig. Folding at Home, or cryptocoin mining which push GPU's/cpu to max and don't require much bandwidth. A folding or mining rig can hold upwards of 7 GPU's on a single motherboard using pci extenders. Each of those gpu's would be running potentially overclocked.

 

There's definitely uses for this power supply, unfortunately like I said, using multiple smaller capacity units works better.

It's ridiculous that PSUs in North America are capped at around 1600W, although it's understandable since that would draw enough current to almost saturate a given circuit in your house.

[Fetzie]

Got a 4960x, 4 titans and a stack of hard drives? No? then what's the point

 

A 4960X and four titans can be run on a 1000W PSU.

[Fetzie]

That's why I added the 'a ton of hard drives' part.

If you water cool and OC the hell out of a 4960x and 4 titans Ild think you would be pushing near 1000 watts.

 

I don't think you can hook up enough HDDs to draw 1000W. IF you assume 5W per drive (conservative estimate) that would be 200 drives.

 

Of course, you could try running Quad-SLI GTX 480s overclocked if you want to burn out a circuit in your house

@pcexplosion, your avatar is fascinating. Makes me want to play classic snake all over again.

Major problem with high wattage psu is efficiency.  There's no way a computer's idle draw could reach anywhere near 2000W so the psu will be running very inefficiently compared to a lower wattage one majority of the time.

Why... Just why

Even thought its 80 gold certified ? 

Also works with haswell c states

Efficiency works on the basis of exponential growth for most power electronics.  AC/DC converters (rectifiers) work on that. So the more power you draw the more efficient the psu becomes  

[JAKEBAB]

yay now trubyd44 only has to use one powersupply lol

[Mooshi]

I thought future tech was supposed to be getting more energy efficient, not be an energy hog requiring 2k watts of power.
