Quad GTX-Titan Black SC + Corsair AX1500i = ??

[Baasha]

Just picked up a Corsair AX1500i for my Uber Rig (X79 Monster) and made a quick vid of it: UBER RIG



Have seen around 1590W using Corsair Link and around 1570W from KILL-A-WATT during load.

So u pull more than the PSU rating?

Wow


BTW, that's an insane PC

The I'm too Sexy Song song starting running in my head when I read thread title.


At a ~1600w load from wall did you deal w/ tripping any breakers and is the PSU run from it's own 15amp circuit?

My dream rig is something like this running 3x60" plasma and a 10-15k audio setup to go with it. I'd need to completely rewire the room for multiple 20amp circuits.

How are those GPU's breathing?

Must sound like a dust buster.

Haha yea - it's rated to run past its 1500W from what I've read. The cool thing is that this PSU is a single-rail.

I was running 2x Antec HCP PSUs (1300W + 850W) before and have seen around 1700W @ the wall. o_0

The Uber Rig runs on its own dedicated 20A circuit!

For audio, I mainly use these cans:

There is a Delta 5000RPM fan blowing right on the GPUs (mounted on the door of the case). The blower style cooler blows the hot air out of the case but the hottest GPU (top card) gets to the upper 80s Celsius so it does get kind of toasty in there!

Looks good Baasha.

The LEPA G1600 didn't work out?

The 1590W is from the wall. The power supply is rated at output, so if it's at 1590W from the wall, its output is going to be much less and well within the rating of the power supply.

I recently upgraded my computer room. I have a dedicated 20A circuit just for the outlet my PC plugs into. I also have a dedicated AC unit just for the room. Takes the heat out that my 1500+W PC dumps into the room. I've been able to run all 4 of my Titans at 90+% with 8 threads of LinX running on my CPU at the same time. I've seen spikes of over 1800W with a Kill-A-Watt. Stable for hours and the room temp stays at a comfortable 72 degrees. The upgrades helped out quite a bit.

The Lepa wouldn't have been color coordinated like the Corsair is.

Hey Adam,

Thanks.

No the Lepa G1600 was crapping out on me - kept shutting off under load so I ended up getting 2x Antec HCP PSUs which worked great but since the Cosmos II can hold only one PSU, I had to ghetto-install the thing and so both the PSUs were kept outside (talk about fugly build lol).

I wanted to use one PSU so got the AX1500i since the EVGA 1600T2 is not out yet.

Yup, the 20A breaker definitely helps for rigs like ours. I bet the dedicated AC helps you a lot as well! Thankfully, I have my rig in another room - only the screens, speakers, and headphones etc. are in the computer room. I enjoy relatively quiet and cool gaming so it works well.

Btw, are you going to get the ROG Swift monitor(s)?

I want to pick at least one up for my secondary rig (X58).

 

[AdamK47]

No ROG Swift monitors for me. I'm not a fan of TN panels.

My next upgrade is Haswell-E.

Remember, the output is rated at 1500W. If the PSU is 90% efficient at full load (1500W), he will draw 1667W from the wall. The scary part is that... somewhere in his PSU, there will be 167W of heat being dissipated for the above example!

Could you not run the unit with the motherboard horizontal to the floor, then no card is heating up from below?
