Hi Tom,
I do not know what they had it hooked up to (I believe it was a Chroma Tester unit) but while Tony was at the Manuf. They had it loaded at 2060W. It is 2 x 1100W cores in 1 unit.
The finished unit should have a nice LCD display on it showing you several data points regarding the output of the PSU.
That's what the Evostream (OCZ) and X-Pro (Ultra) is for ;)Quote:

As I said before, this is not going to be a PSU for the masses. If you want/need/thinkyouneed then we have made it available. There will be more features...but I am not going to let the entire cat out of the bag yet ;)
We are looking at adding a USB port and monitoring feature to it...what do you think? (meaning you can graph outputs during benches, etc in Windows)
Beats having inaccurate hardware monitoring on the mainboard ;)Quote:

We are running out of resources and energy, and this is what you came up with? T-T Invest in technology to create components that use up less electricity, not more...
Poor thing our earth is, how environment friendly we humans are !
Poor hipro5, now his coming up PSU has an after market competitor. ^^
guys
If you are in the 110V region you will need 2 x powercords, the unit is designed with this in mind. if you are in a 240V region or close too it 1 power cord is all you need.
Some things you need to know
We need feedback...this unit is alpha and may remain alpha, its a specialist product and will not be real cheap so we need to know how many of you would consider a unit like this?
Its not finished....the LCD and possible USB interface are still to be included....LCD 100% happening...USB 50% happening.
I have been working on this since late Sept...so please do not think I copied anothers idea....you just have not heard me talk about it yet.
We want to give the benchers the PSU they always wanted..we feel this could be the one...please let us know what you think.
I like it but as I don't have anywhere near enough power hungry things 1kw would be enough for me but honestly if your going to up vcore on your 8800gtx's and cpu to like v1.8 it's going to draw a lot. LN2 benchers would like this. Beats having multiple psu's in my opinion.
Ryder, are all of the rails really seperate, or just shunts like we have seen before?
also, will it have the correct connectors to handle dual R600?
Tony: the lcd showing voltages and amperages on all rails would be very helpful, but I dont think that the USB would be entirely useful if the LCD was able to display all the aforementioned info at the same time.
I honestly considering getting something like that, though I would probably sleep better if I knew that it is (or very easily) kept 100% future proof for a couple years.
i like it and i think its very innovative... but i dont think i could ever get myself to spend more then $250 on a psu which most likely means i am out of your target market for this one.
Seen as the PSU is from OCZ I would imagine it's quite good, but I really don't think we need such powerful PSUs just yet. What would happen if graphics cards and cpus started becoming more efficient? Then 2kW would have been a waste.
I'd get 1 assuming 2 things.Quote:

and 2... that its not built from junk.
my interest in a PSU like this is nice and high, so I'd definatly be very very interested in it. but again, it really comes down to the quality, and how much life I can expect from it.
I'm very interested in this, It looks like a real winner, I hope its at least 80-85% efficiency, also, on the LCD monitor, I think a Wattage use feature would be nide, and if possible, a temperature monitor feature as well, could you please elaborate some more on the LCD?
