Just treated myself to one of these. Any idea what sort of wattage it can put out before it trips?
EVGA SuperNova P2 1600W '80 Plus Platinum

No takers i see.

There are no reviews and very little information on them available. I guess you are going to have to find out and tell the world!!

I promise to do that Mr Pasty Muncher. What i will say is this is the longest, heaviest psu I've ever got my mits on. Looks a nice piece of kit but bloody expensive mind.

It's the same size as your old SF unit according to the specs.
I'll take a punt on 1900w before it taps out

Well i own Matt's old 1000w sf platinum, and iirc he stated that it tripped out at 1300w. Thankfully its having an easy life now running a 4.7ghz 4790k and mainly stock gtx 780's in sli. But id bet with the right mobo, (yes i want a maximus 6 extreme) it would handle tri sli 780's no bother. Iirc two cards oc'd pulled 740w max running firestrike, even then it was only for a few seconds on the combined test. Btw that includes my old 24" monitor in sig.It's the same size as your old SF unit according to the specs.

Yeah, I was talking about the 1300w Gold that replaced the one he sold you
That one tapped out at about 1600w, my 1200w Plat gave up at 1655w.
1900w may or may not be a slightly conservative guess for the EVGA.
I've had mine over 1700w
The P2?

Nope, had them side by side. Definitely a fair bit longer than my 1300W Leadex/SF gold.

Nice. I've yet to give it full blast, will hopefully get time towards the end of this week.

Someone needs to update the specs then.
Update, it did not pass the Sleeping Dogs final scene test. Conked out, not sure what wattage i was actually pulling im afraid, but it must have been over 1700W im guessing. Next time i will monitor it and see what happens. Looks like I'll still need that second psu.

The test of doom claims another victim...
Looks like my prediction was way off and it just goes to show how relatively awesome Superflower units are.
Btw, since I grabbed this 3970 off you, I haven't dared to attempt benching Sleeping Dogs with high clocks given how much more the CPU draws compared to a 2600k. I should probably have kept one of my spare psu's tbh... Oh well.

Yep, bit disappointing really. £275 spent and to be honest it's really not much better than my £140 Leadex 1300W Gold. Thems the breaks i guess.

I guess you could look at it as at least with the P2, you know you're not running it way above spec if that helps soften the blow?.
