Topic: New Evga PSU with 16 (!!!) Pci-e connectors - page 2. (Read 3494 times)
If you had a MB that could run 8 5830s, this might work. A 20A rail dedicated for each 5830 might work.
The PSU would not be able to handle all 16 connectors in use, Maybe for smaller single GPU cards but then most power supplies right now can handle 5-6. I only mention this cause I had 3 6990 in a water cooled system and I blew a capacitors in both a 1500 and 1600w power supply that have thier own dedicated 20a plug I evently went back to air cool and had to splitt the PSU's and built 2 seperate systems. So unfortunantly as the ole saying goes in some situations bigger is not better.
At least it's modular 
If you just thought "really? REALLY?" I have a 900W PSU, silver certified, nice brand name, 4 6-pin, and it's not modular. It has black mesh wrapping so it looks like one of the sentinels from the matrix lol.

That's what I'm saying. 
For the price it's not worth it. Get 2 single rail 1250s or better yet get 2 of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171063 for just $50 more!

That and the sheer number of 12v rails to contend with is troublesome.
8 rails at only 20A each? You can barely run one GPU on each rail!

I can't see anyone buying this. First, who's building new GPU farms from scratch anymore? Second, if you are, 2 1KW PSUs would probably be cheaper.
Here's one for the rig builders - really wish I'd been able to get one a year ago

Does 1650W on 230VAC - enough to run a 7x7970 rig with a bit of undervolting
