Super Flower Leadex Platinum ‘8Pack Edition’ 2000 Watt Fully Modular ’80 Plus Platinum’ Power Supply

Over the weekend we learned that Overclockers UK is now carrying the world’s first consumer 2000W power supply unit on the market. We’ve seen 2000 Watt power supplies at trade shows in the past like the Ultra Products X3 Modular 2000W PSU in 2007 and the Topower Tiger 2000W PSU in 2010. Only the Topower Tiger 2000W PSU came out and it cost a shocking $999.99 and even today it is still priced sky high at $699.99 if you can find one available. The Super Flower Leadex Platinum ‘8Pack Edition’ 2000W Fully Modular PSU was announced and made available on the same day. The power supply is available on Overclockers UK for £349.99 inc VAT or around $526.99 USD. This is still rather pricey, but it is actually rather affordable considering in 2010 you were looking at $1000 for a power supply with the same Wattage rating. Power supplies are better built these days, so we’d assume that the new Super Flower Leadex Platinum is technologically superior.

The Super Flower Leadex Platinum ‘8Pack Edition’ 2000W Fully Modular PSU was designed with Ian ‘8Pack’ Parry to be the most extreme PSU on the market. It was designed from the start to handle 4-Way SLI and 4-Way CrossfireX with ease, and with efficiency levels of up to 94%.

With this PSU for the first time 8Pack was able to benchmark four NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 video cards clocked at 1990MHz with an Intel Core i7 5960x processor at 5.7GHz with just one power supply. The PSU did not even flinch and the 3DMark Fire Strike score of 40,880 marks is still the current world record.

Below you’ll find the promotional video on the power supply made by OCUK and 8Pack as well as the product description.
