Hair's arse away from 1500w Silverstone

[Kal-EL]

Doubt my faggy wall socket would handle the new 1500w Silverstone PSU so I chucked it from my cart. But, i was a hair's arse from getting it for shit's n giggles.

come on just for shit n' giggles

Sweet Jebus man is that really inbound? Nice. Some stupid shipping though.

[V2-V3]

woot!

dude get the damn PSU!

your wall socket has either 15 or 20 amp breaker

and your only going to see 10 amps being pulled from the wall by the PSU.

besides, whats the worst that can happen? burn the house down?????

Sorry but that cracks me up. It's not like you are gonna pull 1500w anyway so just go for it :D

I bet that PC P&C puts out more RMS wattage than the Silverstone anyway.

[Kal-EL]

My sockets trip too damned easily. Need to get an Electrician to fix me up with some extra amps, where's that yellow pages book?

[hellcamino]

I'm still using my 860 Turbo-Cool + dedicated TT 650w for graphics cards. 860+650 = 1510w = Supes pwnt rⁿ =P

you don't need an electrician! just run a 100FT extension cable from the other end of the house :)

[Jeffro64]

^^^^^ Now that's a serious overclocker right there! ^^^^^^

[Kal-EL]

you don't need an electrician! just run a 100FT extension cable from the other end of the house :)

I've already got two of those, one for the chiller, one for the wall a/c, wifey's getting a bit frustrated with tripping over the cords and getting a nice little zap of current runnign thru the feet :rofl :rofl :rofl

Somone might read this and not know you are kidding! With that length of cord you would lose so much I wouldn't even plug antything of mine into it!

For the love of clocking, newegg auto-cancelled my order for some reason :argh: And of all days to notify me, its the weekend and their bs livechat is down. Un-Believable!!!!!!!

[DrNip]

:shithappens:" and I hate it when it does.

[Kal-EL]

:flaminmad:I needed that frackin dual core and x2's this WEEK! F'n unbelievable,:flaminmad: now their gonna whipe my butt with next day shipping costs just to get it here sooner.:flaminmad:

[Kal-EL]

Well, I'm gonna check with Eric to see what his cost will be for the same order. Crosses Fingers........................................... ......

That does suck bud... wonder what happened with the egg?

[Kal-EL]

It's gotta be some sorta glitch with their auto-cancellation bot or something got turned around. It gives me 5 different reasons why it "Might" have been cancelled.

[DrNip]

In my previous experiences when I've been canceled it has always been address related. Usually I ship to my work so I can get the product instead of it sitting on my front porch. So therefor I have two addresses. Billing and shipping. Sometimes I have got them crossed up in various ways therefor canceling my order. I wouldn't pay for faster shipping as patience is the key here.

[Jeffro64]

Your order may have been cancelled due to one of the following reasons...

1. Invalid address information for billing

2. Invalid Credit Card information

3. Your Credit Card is expired

4. We do not accept sea shells and/or coconuts as forms of payment

5. We cannot ship by way of Pelican or Sea Gull


:D

Your kidding, no x-58s at all, nf200 or non? Yepperz, Limited Edition is gondo. Might have to put one of these bad boyz on the market for a hundo bump.

[DrNip]

That is why I purchased mine early as I was originally going to purchase it today, which is payday for me, but had a feeling they would be out.

I was in a breaking group in the 80's, everyone always said I could shoulder roll better in flanel.

If it trips the breaker, I'll break into an uprock then drop a skittle :rofl

yea...its so cool my first...

[Neuromancer]

woot!

Yup and if its a 15 pop a 20 in there for OC's sake!

(or do what I did when I moved back to NJ (in a 200 yr old house..) find a 16AWG extension cord that is 100' feet long, knock a hole in the retired kitchen chimney and run it from the second story down to the basement, so that you can plug into an outlet in the basement on a seldom used breaker to power your 850W enermax galaxy without tripping the upstiars :))

Well thats my experience anyway. 20AMP should be more than enough to power a 1500W PSU and a 24" Sony CRT :d


EDIT: Whoa did not see this wasa 7 page thread...and for my first post too... ewww. (also getting permission errors on img's. wierd)

[Chuchnit]

Welcome to the forum. No worries. Post where you wish :) Can you please explain these errors?

[Buckeye]

I would advise to not replace a 15amp fuse with a 20amp, bad things could happen :(

Also of note... A 1500watt PSU would only draw 1500watts if you computer pulled that much load. If for example your rig only pulled 400watts then the PSU would only supply 400watts, maybe a tad more depending on effency of the PSU.

All that 1500watts rating means is it CAN supply up to 1500watts.

I think the highest draw I have seen so far was when I tested the first version of the Never Extreme Enough rig. QX9770, EVGA 790i Ultra, Quad SLI 2x 9800gx2's and the big SSD raid and it was something like 800ish watts.

If you actually build a rig that needs 1500watts of power then you have other problems to worry about, like your power bill at the end of the month LOL. Like what the MonstaCade would cost me to run 24/7 HAHA.

It seems to be okay today. The images of the heatsink at the top of this page were not appearing, and when I clicked the links I got permissions errors.

They are showing up today though :)

I will start a thread in forum feedback if it continues.


As for replacing the breaker, if you are still using fuses, than I agree do not modify anything. If the electrical lines in your house are the old school cloth covered lines seperated by ceramic standoffs, (as half of my house is) than definitly do not change anything.

Anything more modern should handle a 20amp load with no problem though (just check the wiring coming out of the box for specifications).

A 1500W PSU at 80% efficency will draw 1800W from the wall at full load. Loading it full of course is kind of dificult to do. But it could be done.

Glad you aren't having anymore problems ;)

As far as loading that PSU all the way. Well I see that a while away hardware wise. Someone just posted 5ghz+ i7 | 4x4890 and claims he was seeing 1125w. I don't know if that was corrected or not though.

Shoot! I'll give it a whirl :D
