Or as the Germans would say "Herzeleid"(heartache(Herz means heart in German))

You guys don't worry about money, you just want to be at the top of the leader board.

Yup, I just look at those prices and my herz mises a few k'nocks. My Ryzen cost me about 350 bucks.

I'll be more concerned about this if further reports are made.

EVGA 1600 P2 on sale til Thursday from Newegg, no clue why it`s so cheap.

EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 220-P2-1600-X1 80 PLATINUM 1600W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply - Newegg.com

Wow that IS a good deal, and a really good PSU. Probably overkill for most though, and wouldn't run very efficient, as PSU's need to run at an 80% load. (hence the 80+ ratings).

You would need a system that runs at a constant 1280 watts.

Ya for most of what we build, 850 to 1200 watts is plenty enough.

No @Cliff S

80+ Gold rating means the PSU can deliver over 80% efficiency over the full range of power draw. In this case it means about 100-1600W power (there's a minimum where efficiency is poor) will be converted at above 80% efficiency.

EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1600 W Review

Postnote: It's a bit more complicated than said above, but basically the measurements are taken at 20%, 50% and 100% loads. There's 80+, 80+ Bronze, -Silver, -Gold and -Platinum ratings. They all deliver at least 80% efficiency at above mentioned measurement points and 80+ is barely capable of 80% efficiency, while platinum is closer to 90%.
