Are you tired of your\u00a0Cooler Master Silent Pro 1500W PSU\u00a0not being able to provide enough power to your gaming rig?<\/p>\n

Well, Super Flower has the answer – the world’s first 2000W consumer PSU. Called the\u00a0Leadex Platinum<\/a>, the unit was made in collaboration with PC overclocker\u00a0Ian “8Pack” Parry.<\/p>\n

The PSU is\u00a080Plus Platinum certified, fully modular, comes with 20 cables, and is cooled with a\u00a0dual-ball bearing 140mm fan.<\/p>\n

Most of you are probably scoffing at the unnecessarily high output, which is roughly 4-times more than the average gaming PC requires\u00a0-and you should be.<\/p>\n

As pointed out by Anadtech<\/a>,\u00a0Ian’s dual Intel X5690 system with four AMD 7970 GPUs only uses\u00a01550W. Powerful graphics cards like the Nvidia\u00a0GeForce GTX Titan Z and\u00a0\u00a0AMD Radeon R9 295X2 draw\u00a0375W and\u00a0500W respectively.<\/p>\n

The argument for such a powerful unit is that the higher the capacity, the more effecient the unit is and the better it performs when “low” levels of power are being drawn.<\/p>\n

How much will you pay for the Leadex Platinum? Having just launched, the PSU going for\u00a0\u00a3349.99 (\u00b1R6,100) in the UK.<\/p>\n
