SilverStone Launches Updated HELA 2050R 2050 Watt Power Supply

[TheLostSwede]

Most of us are fortunate enough not to need a monster power supply in our PCs, but for those that do, SilverStone has launched an updated version of its 2050 Watt HELA 2050 power supply, simply named the HELA 2050R. It delivers no less than 170 Ampere on its 12 V rail and SilverStone claims a power density of 882 Watts per liter. The updated version comes with a pair of 12VHPWR connectors, with one modular cable with two GPU connectors and one modular cable with a single GPU connector.

The HELA 2050R is rather amazingly only 180 mm deep and in addition to the 12VHPWR connector it also has three standard 6+2 GPU connector with support for up to 14 GPU connectors, as well as support for up to 12 SATA drives, three Molex connectors, one floppy drive type connector and of course, the standard ATX and EPS power connectors. Note that the HELA 2050R is limited to 200-240 Volt input, as a standard 115 Volt outlet would be limited to 1650 Watt. No pricing was announced, but considering that the HELA 2050 is retailing for well over US$500, it's not expected that the 2050R will be any cheaper.

2050watts, that sure is a lot.
here i am with a corsair platinum hx850watt for a 4090 and 12700k. and still the fans never spin so i am below 480watt usage at max.

Geez I remember the days when 205W is more than enough, even with inflated wattage labeling

Yeah, "my" first PC had a 200-ish Watt PSU. That's 30+ years ago though...

What is this actually for, a HEDT of some sort?

Not sure, maybe some high-end workstation, but SilverStone doesn't really say.

A OC'ed TR pretty much eats a kwh already. Add a GPU with that and your already at 1600W or so.

intel i9-15900k, probably.

Obviously (to me) this is for the new TR platform. Especially if people want to use 3+ 4090s for Rendering or Digital Art Creation.

Unless one used a 20A socket

Wont high end workstations come with redundant power supplies so even for that application its a bit odd. I remember seeing HP bundling redundant PSU on their workstations not sure of competition though.

Well yes, but this specific PSU is 220-240 V only, so no.

I was more thinking about power draw from more than one high-end CPU and multiple GPUs.

Workstations want reliability, ECC for example, but no need for 100% up time. It's not a server.

Intel 14900KS ready. 2kW for 5% more performance.
