Over in Hall 1 we stopped by Thermaltake quickly and saw their new 2000-watt Toughpower power supply.

Do not ask me why you would need that much power for a PC but they will start selling shortly but don't expect them to be cheap.

As far as size goes, it's a little longer than a normal sized PSU but not that much bigger considering the amount of power that it is capable of outputting.

2000-watt was by the largest capacity PSU at Computex this year but we expect to see more soon as even more high-powered systems emerge with things like quad-SLI and quad-Crossfire graphics systems.

i wonder how high is the electric bill is if he use his pc for torrent with this PSU.

2000w PSU doesnt mean that it draws 2000W all the time. It merely suggests the maximum power that it is capable of

what do u want to power up with 2000W? lots of hdd and odd, with quad sli, octocore cpu?

FYI, a dual quad core server only need 750W. even that it's over kill as it mean for server so it's on high side.

preparing for PCIE 2.0 I think. PCIE 2.0 will break the constraints of 75W from the slot, expect future GC alone will take more than 300W by just the single card.

i've seen DELL server PSUs capable of giving 130Amps for the 12V line.....definitely can settle quad GPUs and definitely many many hard drives easily

lol even the PSU is cheap i dun think will build up a PC more then 1kw

2kw can kill my TNB bill

^^

lol.. 2KW psu does not mean it suck 2KWH or 2 TNB units ever hour

apala..

LOL..Even 1k is overkill now. Not to say 2k. How long will it take to really "fully" utilize the power...And the question is, what technology do we need in order to run it to the fullest..Already have a hard time scratching my head for hardwares that will take up 1k for now..And with the 1k priced around RM1k+ as well, no doubt this will surely be over RM2k+..

maybe in the future the rig will be power hungry,well,if this psu is less than 80% efficiency,then our electric bill would be "nice"

Thanks for sharing, here are some pics from Computex 2007
ThermalTake ToughPower 1500W and 2000W

hmm, maybe that psu for later features at casing? such as peti ais sidepanel that use psu power...lol

With this new psu, ppl in countries that have 4 season, especially during winter, will not need to use heater. Cuz ur cpu can provide for it. It's 1 stone kill 2 birds

2KW is over kill lor, but yeah cards in future surely are going to draw more power.
