Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital over at Lepa they're running a really cool demo with their 1600 wat
power supply they're getting around 1,200 give or take a little bit wattage
on this system it's a pretty beastly system running furmark GPU stress test
and then they ghetto rig together a lamp that they're powering so the lamp is
running at 440 watts and the system is running at about 7 something Watts so
together it's quite a bit and it's quite stable that added with an efficiency
calculation means it's running at about 1,300 something watts and that's a ton
of power it's completely stable you don't see any flickering in the light
and it's no problem at all this power supp has got it for all you guys out
there that are looking into GPU mining you're starting to buy a lot of much
higher end power supplies there wasn't that long ago that lus and I were talking on the WAN Show about how
there's certain power supplies that just kind of don't make any sense cu no one's really Building Systems like that but
now that cryptocurrency is a thing it's starting to become quite popular I was
actually talking to them here and they're saying that they're shipping a lot more of these than they normally do
because people are running some pretty insane systems with some of the
motherboards that are coming out that are made for cryptocurrency and a lot of
these graphics cards that are really good with cryptocurrencies some of the R9 290s especially pull a lot of power
so you need to be able to feed that all out with one of these power supplies so this might be something that you are
