Think of the Electricity bills for a system powered by such SMPS’s … specially now as there are talks about an impending 50% increase in Electricity rates by Tatas and Reliance in Mumbai
Hehe having a 1KW PSU doesn’t mean it’ll be supplying 1KW all the time. It’ll only supply what the components will eat ;). Even with crossfire and a dual core proccy, you’d hardly reach 500W. So factoring in the efficiency of the PSU at around 80-85%, it’ll probably consume 600-650W of power.
Why would anyone require quad PCIE connectors? You cant run more than 2 cards in a system currently (maybe 3 later). Are there any other PSU’s that have more than 2 PCIE connectors?
I am aware about all you mention… BUT… 600 - 650w is nearly half the consumption of my 1 ton A/C which runs at 6.2A - also factor in the Monitor and external USB dsevices and a Laser Printer… now think about the electricity consumption to run such a computer 24/7 - this was the point I was making. As it is my electricity bills are sky high - I dread the 50% increase in the tariffs which is on the way.
yea we do have Quad SLI mobos( thats what theyre called) BUT they arent capable of running four video cards in quad sli. The best use of that mobo is to run 10 displays and you dont need a power hungry card with a PCIE slot to do that But well i agree on one point, if your paying $500 on a Power Supply, you would expect it to have all the bells and whistles
But what does the smps have to do with it? If I understand correctly, if I plug this beast to a A8N-VM ( with onboard gfx), then it would consume the same amount of power as say, a powersafe 400W. Right?
