    I'm having nightmares about the power bill already.

    • ryanranran on 09/02/2015 - 01:02

      Please correct if wrong but doesn't a psu only draw what it needs?

      • Cielescha on 09/02/2015 - 01:11

        Correct, but a system that could use up a 1600W power supply would have a big impact on the power bill.

    Only necessary if you have dual Z5500's.

    • leonheart1 on 09/02/2015 - 00:17

      Dat reference.

      Oh no you didn't!

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 09/02/2015 - 09:53

      but not enough for a QUAD Z5500 "sistem"

    This'll fit in nicely in the space shuttle I'm designing.

  • ReAvenger on 09/02/2015 - 01:15

    Good power supply, but you probably don't need it, unless you have quad sli or xfire and overclocked cpu, even then unlikely to be above 95% draw

    • Carnal on 09/02/2015 - 01:49

      Higher loads result in higher efficiency degradation… So in some settings like a dedicated server scenerio, not using that 1600W can literally pay off :)

      • natsumezoku on 09/02/2015 - 06:00

        So do loads less than 50% though.

        Refer to the table of requirements for each 80+ grade http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus

        Supplies are typically most efficient at between half and three quarters load, much less efficient at low load, and somewhat less efficient at maximum load.

        So for this psu if efficiency is your concern then you'll still be wanting a pc that draws 800W which is still a big ask for an average computer user.

        And if you work out the numbers, the savings on power by efficiency is minimal as well and unlikely to justify the cost of the psu on that basis alone.

        However one thing to consider is the more efficient the unit, the less waste heat it will give off (for the same power usage), which also means less/lower fan noise, and also extends the life of the psu.

        I doubt the fan on my psu ever turns on, which kinda seems like a waste because usually on the higher end psu's they tend to go all out which includes are really nice quiet fan.

        Personally if I had to make the choice again, I would probably spend the $$ elsewhere but an expensive psu does have some nice perks and it will be cannibalized into many machines for many years to come.

    I bought 5 last week and no longer need petrol for my car.

      Nice car! The Doctor only needed 3 to power the Tardis.

  • DarthAntz on 09/02/2015 - 07:25

    Same power 1600W as my air fryer

  • ca6leguy on 09/02/2015 - 07:40

    What the!! I can buy a PC for that price.

    Knowing that a single R9 290 peaks at ~250W and a R9 290X at ~285W, that PSU could be useful in a 4-Xfire.

    It could serve as a BBQ for summer too, having 4 cards running at 95 degrees each!

    • ProjectZero on 09/02/2015 - 10:09

      Well if you're gonna spend money on 4-fire… might as well put them on water…

      • Pielo on 09/02/2015 - 17:58

        True. The thing is, AMD has decreased the price of the 290 to offer better value for money after the GTX 960 got released, and an Asus R9 290 can be found for just above 200€. A cooler probably cost around 60-70€, which will still be another 300€ for the wc system.

        In the mean time, AU retailer are still trying to rip off customers with their $420 cards.

        • ProjectZero on 10/02/2015 - 19:34

          Mate, I was hoping the GTX 900 series would be priced reasonably… I mean what ever happened to the $600 Top of the line cards (GTX 500 era)…

        • Pielo on 11/02/2015 - 10:08

          @ProjectZero:

          The GTX series is priced correctly imo, especially the top end:

          GTX 480: RRP $500
          GTX 580: RRP $500
          GTX 680: RRP $500
          GTX 780: RRP $650
          GTX 980: RRP $550

          On amazon, you find MSI and Asus GTX 980 for $555, but in Australia, because of the bad exchange rate and AU retailers' greed, they sell them for $800-$850.
          I can import an Asus GTX 980 for A$ 765 (including delivery and 1:1.33 exchange rate). Thats $110 cheaper than locally if you include shipping.

          Personally, I will wait for the next series, and the dye shrink, to get a GTX 70s or 80s.

        • ProjectZero on 11/02/2015 - 10:30

          @Zirkaloy:

          because of the bad exchange rate and AU retailers' greed, they sell them for $800-$850.

          So Agree with this…

          When I was building my first gaming PC, GTX 580 were priced at $600 in AU, whilst US was $500.

          Now… GTX 980 in AUS $800+ and $550 in US

          I was only whinging about the crap price in aus T_T

    80 PLUS Platinum high efficiency power supply certified – 50% load (92% Efficiency)

    So it is "efficient", but only if you are drawing 800W? How economical.

    • natsumezoku on 09/02/2015 - 16:20

      To be rated 80plus platinum it also has to have a minimum efficiency of 90% at 20% load and 91% efficiency at 100% load.

      Still beats an 80% bronze which is 85% efficient at 50% and 81% at low/high load.

      All power supplies that have efficiency drop off to the sides of 50% load as far as I know.

    • Ebany on 09/02/2015 - 21:28

      Almost every device which is under power works on similar principles regardless of whether it's rope, car, or air-conditioner. Very rare to find something working at 100% efficiency under it's max load unless it's purpose built.

    Pretty good price considering how low the Australian dollar is at the moment

    That's if you need one

  • snajper on 09/02/2015 - 12:06

    pretty good price for descent psu… a bit of an overkill for most users… i upgraded my whole pc for less excl monitor. do you need like 3phase power for this or do you hotwire it to the power pole directly

    • Ebany on 09/02/2015 - 21:07

      Football field of solar panels should do it.
