A power supply costing as much as an average PC... holy jesus!

Isn't it much more cost effective to use two 750W PSUs?

 

[idroid]

So....this is basicaly a higher wattage version of the AX1200i that has all those cool features and way more expensive because of the extra 300w.

3x 6 pin PCIe? That has to be a typo?

[Pennanen]

Seems pricey, im better off with my chinabomb.

 

[cmcghee358]

This thing has 1500W up to 1650W and only has 3x 6 pin PCIe?? wtf?

 

[crisan_tiberiu]

now to find me a power plant !!!

 

[flowingbass]

Wow, OCing has now came to PSUs.

Being able to choose betwenn single or multiple 12V rails is a good feature though. Its like hitting two birds with one stone.

 

[namecnassianer]

It's the 2x floppy connectors that make this PSU a must-have.

If you look at the product page it has to be a typo. This thing would be for someone running quad sli with a serious amount of overclocking.

 

[christop]

500 bucks!!! insane........

Hey, I overclocked my keyboard. Problem is that my spell check can not keeeeep upppp withhhh meeee annnymore

 

[mforce2]

Actually 500$ for this is not that much when you consider how much your electricity bill will be )

apparently the article is missing the 16x 6+2 pci-e connectors so no issue.

Product images show 8x 8-pin PCIe power connectors on the PSU, maybe someone misread the '8' as '3' or only looked at the middle-row of modular connectors.

Technically it isn't a typo - the author left out some crucial information.

There are 16x 6+2 pin PCIe power cables, along with 3x 6 pin PCIe power cables.

The rest of the full specs for the lazy: http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/120-PG-1500-XR.pdf

I just can say WOW to the price and features, but.... Every generation technology becomes more efficient and power friendly. When the GXT480 came out, you need at least a 1000W PSU to run it 2 way SLI. But by now with a good branded PSU of about 750W is enough for running GTX680 2 Way SLI. So wheres the point of launching "bigger" PSUs? I mean, I would better spend my money in a 750W platinum branded PSU than 1500w Gold PSU.

 

[Lefturn]

Seems like total overkill. I guess there might be some use if you're running quad SLI with the most power-hungry video card available and overclocking them to the extreme. In that case, you're already spending a few grand on the video cards alone, so what's another $450.

It's not a typo it has it in the specs list as only having 3x 6 pins, but it can have 16x 6+2 pin PCIe.

Quad-SLI 690 in mind.

milk that cow....really, people pay this much for a power supply?....did they forget that we are in a recession?...most people don't have that kind of money....what happened with making products that are cheaper to manufacture yet they perform better?....for this price the power supply should be at least 95% efficient...we are talking about a high end power supply here

Not typo it has 3x 6pin PCIe, but also 16x 6+2pin.
