new 1600 watt power supplies

EVGA SuperNOVA 220-P2-1600-X1 1600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS Platinum Certified SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Full Modular Power Supply 5yr Warranty New 4th Gen Intel CPU ECO Mode

well there are a lot of new 1600 watt PS out.

not everyone really knows yet how good they are they probably rely on the name brand, I have read a lot, I was advised to stick with EVGA and not go Rosewill....so I'm going with the Best of Evga
sure it's almost 100 bucks more, I would rather have the best of the best it's the Life line of the computer system....
thanks for the Help if you want to add something here :up:

EVGA is killing it with their PSU's right now. Bang for the buck, their highly touted gold G2's are awesome and cheap. Can't go wrong with their platinum flagship, though.

I have been overclocking for 2 years in a Lepa 1600w gold. During quad 480 runs with my 3930k at 5.2 is was pulling 1700+ watts from the wall sustained for several minutes at a time for hours and hours of benchmarking. It didnt make any noise or falter once in the 2 years ive had it. It would be impossible for me to pick any other 1600w power supply.

thanks for the input, I looked at the Lepa 1600w gold and the gold evga gold......im going to order the platinum evga right now thanks guys,

Good thing about EVGA is if you need a RMA they are very good about that stuff.

Lepa is Enermax

I was looking at Leper and enermax i'm the 1st one to get this from newegg when I called:

to me its like getting a brand new car battery, once you have it everything starts working better, my kingWin mach1 1200 watt is getting old
I even got a power supply tester today at Fry's I will plug in 1st just to make sure before I hook up to computer.
I hope i'm impressed

well I know I have lots of room for the 1600 watt evga supernova platinum....this was long time ago pix

EVGA Supernova P2 80 Plus Platinum (mine) yet....so the Gods are with me, I have picked looks like a very very good unit thanks for the encouragement
also I have a very good power surge protector Belkin going to my system.
good day my Friend!

1600 watt Evga P2 Platinum SuperNova....
works really really good........had a few small problems with my phase.change left out a molex connector that gives a signal for off and on to the power supply.
