Lepa G1600 PSU review 3

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/06/2013 10:05 AM [ 3 comment(s) ]

It's not often we review a 1600 Watt power supply. The guys behind LEPA however where keen that we tested one. So who are we to argue with that, in this review we'll have a look at the LEPA G1600, a 1600 Watt power supply that is labeled with a Gold certification, and if you are on 220V it will reach close to Platinum levels of efficiency. Quite amazing really as the unit isn't huge by any standard, it's not too noisy by any standard and heck, it is even modular. Have you ever seen a power supply that has 10 (!) 6+2 PCI Express graphics connectors ? Heck yeah, let' check 'r out.

Concluding

"Unfortunately there's no real way or manner for us to actually be able to stress a SPU towards 1600, heck even 1700 Watt."

Well, I run 1,2 KW here, no idea if my system even uses that 50%. For now that 50% load, maximum efficiency sweet point is the only reason for having such beasts. Though that reason is slightly crazy, when you have a rig that consumes 50% of the power such PSUs can deliver in the first place :)

Well, if the rumored 235W TDP of GeForce Titan are true, a quad SLI setup of those would consume near 1 KW alone, plus the rest of the system. That's where I'd realy pick a PSU with at least 1,5 KW, just to be comfortable.

BLEH!

Hell I'm on 1500W, mainly because *cheap* *Cough* beQUIET *cough* PSUs kept dying on me. Went through 3 of those before finally spending a bit more and getting my current enermax, which has been rock solid since day 1, and utterly awesome.
