Not trying to troll or anything, and while the products are in fact great, some of the price points I *think* these manufacturers will be shooting for are not...In this case, considering the "energy efficient" advent in home-user(and commercial)computing, why do we need 1-2KW PSU's? CPU's these days are faster and use less voltage, RAM is faster and operates at lower voltages, so are we now in the 1KW - 2KW phase because of...RD600?
I dunno,

PS.
It's cool and it's not.
Not quite. That's 2kW of output power, in other words, below 12 VDC. Depending on efficiency, it could still come in below a standard 15A household circuit. Personally, I'd want it on a 20A circuit all to itself though.Quote:

Huge PSUs like this give some people the false notion that you actually need 1000 watts to power your computer at 100% load. Wrong. This 'the more wattage, the better' tenet is crap. The more rail regulation and efficiency, the better. Higher wattages are just a selling point to get electronics illiterate people to buy $500 PSUs which they don't need, and never will need.
I'm not saying it'll be a poor performing PSU, just that it likely won't be a big seller unless people buy it simply because it's 2 kW, not that they need it. Hell, that's sold plenty for other companies in the past.
Ohm's law says otherwise. If it's putting out 2000 watts, a 15A circuit would definately go. A 20A would be safer, but you won't be able to run much else on it. When this thing is putting out close to it rated power, another device could trip the breaker.Quote:

PSUs don't always put out their maximum current. They only deliver how ever much power is needed. Unless you are drawing 2000watts from the PSU, it wont ever need 2000watts to operate.Quote:

I would get one if I had a chip or a graphics setup that I knew I could push to the limits. I think its great companies are pushing the envelope forward like this, means the trickle down will make the smaller 1kw (never thought I'd say that) will drop in price and efficiency should go up. Those are just the thoughts coming from a humble Dry Ice bencher.
or an Admin removed it, in which case dropping the subject is preferred.Quote:

That'll be the Ultra 2kW - 12v @ 150A.Quote:

I think that instead of focusing on the most niche market of extreme moneyburners, the R&D resources are much better spended on the development and upgrading of mainstream Power Supplies efficiency and overall capacity. This is just an extremely expensive overkill.
More people would likely be interested in CryoCZ. ;)

For most users, it's just an impressive sounding name (2000 watts), that they were sold to by OCZ.
Why not just build an ultra-stable, lower (realistic) power PSU?
not for us Aussie folks with 220-240V mains :DQuote:
