A Phoenix arrises as we the review power supply from beastly grounds, the be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12. Initially releases in as 1200W and 1500W model we'll check out the latter one. The series has been upgraded being all-digital, it has a few new tweaks, features and be quiet! was able to push the PSU towards 80 Plus Titanium certification. And yet, it remains silent I tell you.

just to say, it's 230V with 16A breakers. so that could pull a total of 3680 Watts. I don't see any problems , since you are not maxing out such psu anyway. That would be dumb to run a PSU at it's near max continuedly.
Since PSU efficiencies are usually max around their 50% load point, you are best to use a PSU that can deliver double of what your system pulls, that would give you best powerefficiency.
You can, but you will get unstability very fast or lost of some line at full over-load (wich is bad for hardware)...
Pushing PSU cause too much unstability, it's better to stay in their idle zone.

Great looking PSU, shame only one 12V 8 pin CPU connector though.
Would be awesome on a dual CPU setup otherwise.
It's a mainstream PSU... Don't expect too much too lol.
Corsair, FSP and some more have dual 8 pin CPU out of the box in this price range, and there is also PCIe to CPU adaptator (used some on quad CPU... it work) or cable modding (the most inexpensive solution if you know what you are doing).

When my system is at idle, the only thing I hear is the crap stock coolermaster cooler from my Ryzen 2600. At full load, the only thing I hear is my RX580.
My 650W PSU fan is always on but I can't hear anything from it, you're just entering placebo territory. If you can afford it and make your ponies happy, go for it. In reality, 1000W PSU would still be overkill for you.
It's a silence thing. With something like this or the AX1600i, you can push a CPU/GPU to the max without stressing the PSU enough for the fan to come on.

Since my rig is completely water cooled, and i have a 560, 480 and 280 rad with fans at 400 rpm, my PSU fan, in fact, is the loudest thing in my system if it turns on. Thanks for the advice though.

These type of power supplies are bought by people who just like willy waving, complete waste of time.
Better spending that sort of money on a 3070 or zen3 when it comes out
Sometime it is not, i had many PC that needed more than this one... (in this case you pair 2 PSU to fill the need), some need 300W some need over 1000W, there is no "one PSU for all".
