There is a cheap variation for you all.
For motherboard add 80+ 400w PSU or cheaper and for cards, you can plug server PSU with synchronizer that's all.
PICO is good if you want to run everything with one PSU.
Topic: All high power PSU`s available (Read 399 times)
How would you power PICO then? Separate external PSU brick? Or can it be powered from server PSU?
again not everyone wants to use 2 sockets/1 outlet and id bet the saving is at best negligible and yes I do make posts that aren't rude or insulting, 100 to 200 dollars savings is very farfetched, guess you've got it all figured out mr know it all
btw not every one is going to need 1700 watts either, even then pair of fully modular gold or platinum rated 600w is going to cost ya atleast 40 to 50 dollars atleast, ill pick up a 1200w hp server psu and breakout board for little bit less and I wont have to deal with as many cables lol
Where can i get a hp 1200w for less than $40-50 (I want the complete setup b.board, pcie cables and the server psu).
Oh and btw you cant power a motherboard without a pico so make sure you factor that into your cost since youre adamant on using just one socket for power (dunno what the fixation is with that honestly). Lets see you come up with cost effective solution.
Actually, it's not - since most standard 15 amp residential circuits have a "duplex" outlet that is sized just about PERFECTLY to handle a pair of 850 watt supplies - and will run a little cooler due to lower "contact IIR losses" than with one single BIG supply.
Save $100-$200 on using 2 supplies at the cost of using both sides of a duplex outlet - which is REALLY the more wasteful?
BTW - do you EVER make a comment in a post that is NOT rude and insulting?

For a specific example, price out the EVGA G2 1600 vs a pair of EVGA G2 850 models - over $100 savings DESPITE the 850's selling at a LARGE premium any more when you can find them at all.
Server supplies CAN be a cheaper option - but most don't directly support ATX motherboards at all, don't forget to factor in the cost of something like a PICO if you plan to run the MB AND the GPUs from one.
I have a collermaster v1000 for around 10 months and never had any problems.
Many have lower gauge wires that could melt on you and damage your hardware.
That's why i avoid them.

Whatever you do, don't buy Cooler Master!
I never buy anything other than EVGA, Corsair.

Seasonic no longer makes that "Platinum" series, it was the higher-efficiency version of their bigger "X-series" gold supplies.
They've moved to making their new "Focus" and "Prime" line instead.
I'm not sure if EVGA is still making the G2/P2/T2 line power supplies, availability has gotten spotty enough I think they may have stopped - but might have put them back INTO production at least for a short while due to high demand.
I'm fairly certain that HP contracts out it's power supply manufacturing, probably to Delta.
Coolermaster V series is Seasonic built, but those weird power connections on the PS end and the junk "fancy name sleeve bearing" design make them a line to avoid IMO - mostly for the fan though.
You'll find that using 2 smaller supplies is a LOT more cost effective than using one "big" supply on a multi-GPU rig.
A pair of good 850 watt supplies costs a TON less than any 1600 watt, much less the 1700 watt monsters.

yeah not everyone wants to cough up using 2 outlets just to power one rig, that's just stupid and wasteful

I would not buy used power supply, but its just me. Not everyone has knowledge on cabling and electrics, most of the people just want plug & play.
well that's given, that's why there folks like me that do the stuff that others don't want too

have you looked at server psu rigs and picos?
Yes I did consider this option, but:
1. Its very hard to get your hands on high power server PSU. Does HP even make them more than 1200w? And ones I have seen look like are two PSU`s combined together anyway. They just look like one.
2. Break out board is extra point of potential failure +god knows what quality are they.
3. PICO is another extra point of failure.
I prefer least possible hardware components in the system.
yes hp does make a 1500w server psu, there all over ebay and its not just hp either, theres also dell ones too that are common slot as well, along with many other brands, just takes a little research but that seems to be more than the average person is willing to do
no one has mentioned one ever failing, atleast not that ive seen yet. while id bet there has been. theres always a reason why it happened
only time ive herd of pico's failing is if there overworked and cheap
as it stands the only real failure point is the cables, a good properly set up rig that goes by the 80 percent rule with the psu and pico atleast should get lots of use before it fails
couple of my rigs that I have, there set up using server psu's they run great and man I gotta say the less cable clutter is awesome looks soo much cleaner than compared to using an atx psu, but I also custom make my own cable for my rigs since I have all the crimp terminals and plastic connectors for eps 12v, 6 pin, 8 pin, 6+2 pin. didn't like what I saw as far as what can currently be found, that I know of still only myself and one other person makes such a cable to power a pico and eps 12v using 1 cable
btw using server psu's is also a price point in some cases, not so much with the hp 1500w psu as it has gone up in price since 5 months ago, but for instance I just bought a dell 1400w server psu and breakout board for a whole 74 dollars compared to spending what like 250 to 300 dollars for the atx version, sorry in some cases I could buy 2 of the server psu setup for what one would spend on a high wattage atx psu, btw the server psus we use for mining are all pretty much platinum rated the hp 1200w has a variant that is gold rated and one that's platinum

Rosewill tokamak 1500 watts titanium.
Server plus pico works some builds not all.
The onda b250
Is an eight slot rise free mobo. And prefers using an atx like the 1500 watt rosewill tokamak

server psu works with many kinds of builds with the kinds of breakout boards that are coming out now that support 12 gpus or more, matter of fact breakout board I just bought has 12x 6pin, not everyone wants to spend over 300 dollars for a stupid psu when theres better solutions out there

just picked up a 1400w server psu and breakout board for 74 dollars, that's real hard to beat for 1400 watts

Happy New Year!
I definitely want to use just one PSU per rig I`m planning, to power five or more 1080ti / Vega 64 cards.
After some research I compiled list of all high power PSU`s available. Might be useful to somebody else here!
