2000W Platinum Power Supply Ordered

LtMatt · 30 Jan 2015 at 11:18

Can it pass the ultimate PSU killer test? Sleeping Dogs Extreme 4K, 4x290X @1225/1625Mhz @+200mv + 5960X @4.9Ghz.

EDIT

Yes it can, the 2000W power supply is the most powerful unit I've ever used.

I'll capture the green genie thing on video during the test. PSU arrives monday so hopefully will get something up Mon/Tues.

The comments on here made me chuckle, but it does bring a point. Is your mains good enough to power the beast ?

Well at least I'll go out with a bang.

Thanks for that!

That's crazy, a PSU supplying that much power?!?!

Any burning yet ?

Nope.

The good thing is I'll be running this PSU at around 1000W ish typically when i game with a 5960X@4ghz and 2x295x2's at stock and undervolted. So in theory the PSU should be at very high efficiency at this, maybe close to 100%?

Objection, m'lud! You want 3x 4K monitors and 4x 8 GB 290x - assuming you can get one of the latter with 3x DP 1.2 ports.

Well, he does have 4x8GB cards, so that's a start.

My 8GB cards don't clock as well and as i don't have any more 4GB 290X cards (aside from a Lightning) so there won't be anymore epic torture tests from me. The PSU survived multiple runs though, it truly is the 'King Of The Hill.

I will put a review up on the main site once i get my rig up and running in a few days.

If my girlfriend new I was pulling that much power from the wall she would flip her lid lol. Some serious power that.

Insider tip: Blame it on the tumble dryer, those things pull 2500W-3000W. :eek:

Hi Matt,

can you let us know more information about which hardware you did exactly run with the power supply?

Sorry for not being clear Dom. The PSU's in the OP all worked flawlessly for me including the EVGA 1600W Platinum. What i was trying to say was that none of them could survive the intense load Sleeping Dogs 4K requires. This is understandable as i was running 4 highly overclocked gpus which ended up pulling 2250 Watts from the wall, so i was running all the PSU's well over spec.

I will edit the OP now to reflect this.

You probably weren't running the 2KW unit over spec: to output 2000W at 80% efficiency it will need to draw 2500W from the mains, 2222W at 90% efficiency.

I was certainly running the others over spec though, which is why they all shut down.
