With GPU-based mining days long gone, I don't ever see myself in the market for a beast like this; but no power switch? That's...bizarre.

I keep reading that muti-GPU systems are on the decline, so what's continuing to drive development of PSUs with >1KW output?

 

[leclod]

Same here...

Im curious too -- i can only speculate the marketing folks are still pushing the "bigger number == better" mantra

There are still some hardcore enthusiasts and a few who want bragging rights. I couldn't help but notice quite a few cons.

 

[captaincharisma]

there is always someone out there whether they are an enthusiast or a first time system builder that will blindly buy this because after all "bigger is better" lol

Rosewill always goes with a very simple exterior. I like it. This is also a very unique name. I'm sick of boring PSU names. Tomakamek. Sounds like some sort of ancient island, I like it.

The reactor of the same name was the first thing that came to mind upon seeing it and even before it was mentioned in the write up. An interesting choice, no doubt. Given the output, I guess it's somewhat fitting.

Must admit rarely use the power switch at the back. Quicker to know that a pulled power lead means 'off'...completely. No great loss.

So ready for this to be in a m-ITX build! Lol! Too bad it isn't modular! <sarcasm over>

It would be useful in running something like 8 in 1 PC, like the one linustechtips did.

I prefer a power switch because you can disable power while keeping the ground. Not a big deal, sure, but it's nice peace of mind.

Also, my god that 100mvVpp +12V ripple. I could throw together a power supply circuit myself with less ripple than that.
