LEPA Working On A 1600W Modular 80 Plus Gold Power Supply
It seems the people over at CowCotland got their mitts on a new power supply from LEPA. The G1600 PSU certainly looks impressive, and at a whopping 1600W it probably should be. With that said, the unit does look to be for more than just show, as the 1600W monstrosity is 80 Plus Gold rated. On top of that, the unit is also fully modular making for a clean and fairly sexy looking power supply. The G1600 achieves its 1600W max by using six 12V rails, two of which are rated at 20A and four at 30A with a combined rating of 133A for a total of 1596W on the 12V rails. The 3.3V and 5V rails give 25A each with a combined total of 140w. Cooling for the unit is handled by a 135mm fan. The cabling is again fully modular and consists of two 8pin EPS connectors, 12 PCI-E connectors, along with the usual boat load of Molex and SATA connectors. No word on pricing at this time, but the unit is expected to start shipping soon.
In terms of specs, the mark does not go with the back of the spoon: 1600 watts, 6 rails 30 A and a power of 1596 watts on 12 volts. The block will be guaranteed for 5 years and Enermax told us that the price should be attractive for this kind of product.
