Holy balls... EVGA made a 2200 WATT PSU!

The video introduces the EVGA SuperNOVA 2200 P2 power supply at CES 2018, highlighting its astonishing 2200 watt rating and a 183.3 amp capability on the 12 volt rail. The presenters explain that despite its extreme power, under full load of 2200 watts in a standard room, the unit stays around 50 degrees Celsius, and it is rated on the 80 Plus Platinum 230V European standard, noting that North American 110V systems are not applicable for this unit. The discussion emphasizes the intended use case for mining rigs, pointing out the backpanel connections which include nine PCIe cables, each branching into two PCIe connectors, totaling 18 PCIe ports. A detailed hypothetical mining setup is presented, describing a rig with a core components list and the potential mining output in kilohashes and daily bitcoin-equivalent earnings, alongside commentary on price variability. The hosts tease a deeper breakdown in a later hotel-room segment, where they plan to analyze the kind of crazy mining rigs that could be powered by this PSU and the real-world value proposition. The segment also includes a sponsorship plug for Squarespace, detailing platform features, support options, and a promo code for viewers, followed by a closing call to action to subscribe for more CES content. Overall, the video blends hardware specifications with practical mining-science discussion and consumer sponsor messaging, framed within the CES coverage and EVGA product showcase.
