Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:11.559
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.080
Digital over at Lepa they're running a really cool demo with their 1600 wat

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.240
power supply they're getting around 1,200 give or take a little bit wattage

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:24.160
on this system it's a pretty beastly system running furmark GPU stress test

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:28.679
and then they ghetto rig together a lamp that they're powering so the lamp is

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:33.120
running at 440 watts and the system is running at about 7 something Watts so

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.200
together it's quite a bit and it's quite stable that added with an efficiency

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.719
calculation means it's running at about 1,300 something watts and that's a ton

00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:44.440
of power it's completely stable you don't see any flickering in the light

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:47.800
and it's no problem at all this power supp has got it for all you guys out

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:51.239
there that are looking into GPU mining you're starting to buy a lot of much

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:56.320
higher end power supplies there wasn't that long ago that lus and I were talking on the WAN Show about how

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.800
there's certain power supplies that just kind of don't make any sense cu no one's really Building Systems like that but

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.640
now that cryptocurrency is a thing it's starting to become quite popular I was

00:01:03.559 --> 00:01:09.560
actually talking to them here and they're saying that they're shipping a lot more of these than they normally do

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:12.200
because people are running some pretty insane systems with some of the

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.640
motherboards that are coming out that are made for cryptocurrency and a lot of

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:21.600
these graphics cards that are really good with cryptocurrencies some of the R9 290s especially pull a lot of power

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:25.600
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

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:30.720
