Ultra Unveils Plans for 2000 Watt PSU

[NickS]

This PSU isn't needed, period. 1KW PSU's are far from needed too. You can power 8800GTX SLi and a Kents with an 850w SSI with ease. That's benching. (Ya know, vmods, xtreme cooling etc.)

A GXS700w powers Core2 / 8800GTX SLi on air? I think someone was running no problems. Sigh.

wtf power bills go higher now instead of doing something to reduce the consumption we introduce something that has a capability of consuming 2KwH in one hour that is like nearly 1 euro every 2 hours with the current surcharge and everything , imo that is just an exageration

You really don't know much about PSUs, ah?

It's not endless suckling of power from the socket.

If you use only 200W, it wont "suck" any more.

Nice one Popo! Sorted that one out..

 

[nathan]

now now girls play nicely

Lecky Bill !!!!!!!

 

[BUFF]

Wonder what kinda explosion you could get out of that @ 2000w

don't know but it's an Ultra so will probably take most of the rest of your hardware with it when it goes ... :evil:

Snippy

That sounds more like a fan problem, I once blew up a capacitor in a fan, and got the same sort of result .

my 450W went out with quite a bang

Yep, I would have thought the difference between a 450w and 2000w going up would be negligible. .

 

[Alm]

There's like no point to that unless it's for high end servers.

thats right.

 

[Mr. Popo]

thats right.

No it's not, what about workstations?

 

[nathan]

No it's not, what about workstations?

guessing you mean high end workstations.

 

[Mr. Popo]

guessing you mean high end workstations.

If Quad Tulsa, 32GB ECC, Massive RAID, Professional APU, Dual Quadro 5500 SDI + Quadro Plex 1000 (Model II) is "high-end", then yes.

And er what kind of work would you be doing on that?

 

[NickS]

Hopefully these will be better quality than Ultra's older units.

They switched OEM's for this one.

 

[Mr. Popo]

And er what kind of work would you be doing on that?

Intensive 3D rendering, High res editing and playing Mine Sweeper.

 

[WC Annihilus]

They switched OEM's for this one.

I know their original craptastic ones were YoungYear and their reasonable Infinity X2s were Wintech (I think, something with a similar name if not), you know what they're using for this one? Wintech again or did they switch again?

Be interesting to find out. At a glance it looked a bit like a Enermax Galaxy to me. Maybe they squeezed two galaxy's into one unit

Andyson or Seventeam probably.

 

[NickS]

Well, I doubt it'll put out 2kw tbh. It's eather Estasis, EMACS or WIN-TACT. Or, an Ultra design, which might be pretty scary.

i know about that

passive and active psu

the thing is that if you have 2Kw you have no limit to what you can connect to it , you can connect like 20 hdd and not even be using all the storage of one and like 40 neon tubes
