00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,560
did you know that there are 2,000 watt PC power supplies on the market but very

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:11,360
few people seem to be buying them I mean they can offer more watts per dollar

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:14,719
than other high wattage models so why aren't people opting to get something

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:20,400
for nothing let's start by looking at a big reason having a power supply that

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,080
powerful might put off consumers namely

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,519
it's going to be consuming a relatively large amount of power when the PC is

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,640
sitting at or near idle say when doing

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:33,239
light tasks like web browsing this is because power supplies tend to be most

9
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:39,840
efficient when they're somewhere around 40% load which is 800 watts for a PSU of

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:44,840
this size but a PC near idle might not even be drawing 200 watts and when power

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:50,680
supplies are running at less than 10% of their capacity they tend to be really

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:54,399
inefficient with the result being you're paying more on your power bill than you

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:01:00,359
would have if you had just bought a lower wattage power supply but if this

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:02,879
is the case why do they even exist well

15
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:07,720
there are use cases where someone might legitimately need that much power many

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,759
2,000 W power supplies are aimed at people who are into cryptocurrency

17
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:16,400
mining which is very computationally expensive and as such sucks down a lot

18
00:01:14,119 --> 00:01:21,439
of electricity another use case is if you have a very high-powered PC referred

19
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:25,000
to as a workstation that can be used for 3D modeling or rendering training and

20
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,600
artificial intelligence model or even running scientific simulations for

21
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:34,200
science some of these machines actually use multiple graphics cards to do all

22
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:38,119
this Computing which use a lot of power but here's the thing it might be very

23
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:43,479
difficult to run a 2,000 wat power supply in your home or office at least

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:48,520
if you're in North America even if you could actually use one we'll tell you

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:52,640
why right after we thank Fatam think of your it infrastructure like a complex

26
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,840
puzzle with many interconnected pieces servers applications and networks it can

27
00:01:55,159 --> 00:02:01,280
be challenging to see how all those pieces fit together fatom is an

28
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,840
agentless application Discovery and dependency mapping tool or 0dm for short

29
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:11,120
with Standalone Discovery and 24/7 application dependency mapping it's

30
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,280
designed to help provide a clear picture of just how your organization's Hardware

31
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,680
software and networks all interact with each other meaning your business can

32
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,959
make changes keep it records and handle migrations with maximum visibility even

33
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:27,440
better everything can be run offline thanks to the agentless approach meaning

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,879
less messing around with every single server you're trying to map out so get

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,239
the description a huge part of the problem is that in the US and Canada the

37
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,720
standard voltage for a wall socket is 120 volts if you think back to your high

38
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:49,800
school physics watts equals volts time amps meaning to power a 2,000 W power

39
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:55,239
supply when it's at full load You' need almost 17 amps of current but most of

40
00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:00,239
the wiring that's probably in your home or office is only rated for 15 amps

41
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,040
trying to connect a device that needs more amperage than your wiring can

42
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,840
provide will lead to the circuit breaker tripping or even a fire in your walls if

43
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:13,239
your circuit breaker sucks now some buildings do have 20 amp wiring

44
00:03:11,239 --> 00:03:17,319
connected to certain Outlets these tend to be in places like kitchens so you can

45
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:21,879
plug in multiple hyraw appliances such as blenders or toaster ovens for example

46
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:26,280
without tripping the breaker but if you plug your workstation with your 2,000

47
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:30,439
watt PSU into an outlet like this and leave it running at load for a long

48
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,720
period of time you'd still run the risk of the breaker tripping since they're

49
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:41,360
often only designed for continuous loads of around 80% which should only be 1760

50
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:45,200
watts in our hypothetical and plus you'd have to run it in your kitchen which

51
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,799
doesn't sound very convenient so unless you want to pay for an electrician to

52
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,599
come out and install a special circuit just for your beefy power supply because

53
00:03:50,519 --> 00:03:57,159
you truly need that much wattage it doesn't make much sense to try and run

54
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:02,200
one in a typical North American Home in fact some 2,000 W power supplies are

55
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:06,519
only designed to work with the 230 volt Outlets used in places like Europe that

56
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,200
don't require as much amperage While others are labeled 1600 Watts when sold

57
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:17,199
in North America since the PSU will limit its maximum wattage if it detects

58
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,880
it's plugged into a 120 volt outlet and

59
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:24,320
even a 1600 W power supply would not likely draw a full load since a typical

60
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:30,080
gaming PC setup even if you're rocking a 4090 wouldn't come close to drawing 1600

61
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:34,759
Watts additionally multiple Outlets and even entire rooms are often all on the

62
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:38,840
same circuit so you wouldn't want the PC itself hogging all that amperage

63
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,000
especially as only need to power your monitor your lights your vibrating chair

64
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,720
whatever else you have in your computer room imagine a massage chair anyways
