Terawatt PSU's?!?!?!?

[skidude]

Ok, I'm flipping through my CGW this month and I come across an ad for a TERAWATT PSU!?!?!? I wanna know if this is true, cuz thats a hell of a lot of power. It also has 3 +12V Rails!!!

now THATS a whole lot of power! who would use such a thing? servers?

 

[Ku-sama]

nope, HOUSE!!!

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/186 theres an article about it. i wannna know what the rails are like on that thing. and look at the length!!!

 

[skidude]

Nvm, not a terawatt, its a kilowatt, my bad

Anyway,In my CGW it has the voltages, they are:

+3.3= 30A
+5= 30A
+12V 1= 16A
+12V 2= 16A
+12V 3= 36A
-12V= 0.8A
+5VSB= 4A

Is that good or something??

lol, a terrawatt would power a street. those rails are sweet. triple 12v rails, with a combined total of 68A, cant go wrong.

The PC Power & Cooling 850 SSI has 4 12+ rails (17a each), w/ a peak wattage of 950w.

Besides, that OCZ PSU is two PSUs long, which would not fit in my case.

not a street.. you all know that 1 TeraWatt is 1000 GigaWatt?
and ever heard of what a nucleair reactor only delivers 2GigaWatt continue?

Ya sry that one is my bad. Its a kilowatt people, but anyway, that OZC PSU is huge, but the one in the ad is much smaller though, look:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817703002

^^^ That isnt the kilowatt one but its close. The 1kw isnt released yet.

i could build a computer for less!

 

[skidude]

Lol I know, but think about it, being able to brag having that PSU!!

 

[redrider773]

I love OCZ. Succh quality stuff. Any price on this beast yet?

 

[skidude]

The OCZ???? That thing is huge dude, you prbly couldnt fit it into your case.

nope, house!!!

considering nuclear powerplants are measured in hundreds-of-megawatts... id suggest a terrawatt is enough to power the planet

is that good or something??

you tell me. PSU 101.

SORRY!! My mistake, I meant a Kilowatt..... this is why I votes to be able to edit thread names. O well, my bad.
