Rules:
Seems dangerous for the USA, that PSU would need a 20amp circuit and most residential bedrooms are 15amp. But if you need 2500 watt PSU you probably won't want the machine in your bedroom.
A 20A 120V circuit would not be enough. That's only 2400 watts and you can only use 80% of that continuously. It would need a dedicated 15A 240V circuit.
At best, the power supply will probably only be 90% efficient at full load, so it could draw over 2600 watts from the wall.
This has to be for commercial applications. I have a gaming rig and a server very comfortably running off a single 1200 W PSU.
Same! Phantek’s Revolt X?
Yup!
Okay, I’ll bite: how do they come up with that number? What in a computer is actually dissipating that much power and for how long?
Thats more wattage than it would take to run most hvac systems lmao.
