2400w wow that's a lot of power
Can countries where they don't use 240v
Even run it?

What are 3.3 and 5 volt rails like. 50 amps on a single connector is asking for trouble. I’d want screw terminals.

Wow its getting crazy, I thought my 1200 was ott.

‘The PSU can sustain power excursion of up to 235%’

PSUs dynamically switch now I think - I think you would need a special socket in the US since they have 120v native?

Yeah most psus work with universal voltage
That wasn't really my point
My point was countries that use 120v
Could a 120v socket actually be able to deliver
The full 2400w?

I thought they actually actually have 240v into the building/home. It's just stepped down to 110v hence the special socket comment?

A true power supply for Darth vader.

Pretty insane, not sure i'll ever need or anyone would need a psu with that much wattage aside from server/creation businesses.

I bought a 1200 watt as I run a 13900ks @5.5ghz p cores and 4.2ghz e cores with 4080 and I'm quite surprised it only pulls just over 500watt while gaming.

Makes you wonder what there going to be running to use 2400w , not sure if you can use dual 5090 for rendering, etc but there are specialised GPUs for that.

Sli is dead so that's ruled out.

Yeah in the US 2x out of phase 120V supplies is common which can be combined for 240V but usually isn't wired house wide - often just to utility type room(s).

2400 watt max 120V circuits do exist in more modern US houses but I believe 1800 watt is more common but I might be wrong on that as my experience is over a decade out of date.

Thanks
Out of date or not
It's still best answer to what I asked
Regarding what I asked about 120v users
1800w does sound more realistic from 120v

And yeah new builds quite possibly
They have improved wiring
Whereas old builds why replace something that's working fine
Unless you plan to use high power devices
In rooms other than utility/laundry etc
