Power Supply Unit from Silverstone capacity allows for operation of four RTX 5080 Graphics Processing Units, or three RTX 5090 GPUs.
Silverstone's Hela 2500Rz Power Supply: A Powerhouse for High-End Graphics Cards
Silverstone has unveiled its latest power supply unit, the Hela 2500Rz, designed to cater to the extreme power demands of high-end graphics cards. Released in June 2023, this powerhouse is priced at approximately $750 USD.
The Hela 2500Rz comes equipped with a plethora of connectors to meet the needs of modern hardware. It features one 24-pin ATX power connector, three SATA/peripheral cables (each with four SATA connectors), four EPS/PCI 8-pin (4+4-pin) cables and connectors, a single 4-pin Molex cable (with four connectors), and four more 8-pin cables for older GPUs. Moreover, it boasts four 12V-2x6 power connectors, designed to power four 12V-2x6-equipped GPUs. Additionally, it offers two dual 6+2-pin cables and three single 6+2-pin cables, providing up to seven 8-pin connectors.
Safety is a top priority for Silverstone, and the Hela 2500Rz reflects this with its various protection mechanisms. It includes Over Current Protection (OCP), Over Power Protection (OPP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Under Voltage Protection (UVP), and Over Temperature Protection (OTP).
The Hela 2500Rz's fan curve is designed to efficiently manage heat dissipation. It ramps up from 500-600 RPM at 20% load, gradually increasing all the way to just above 2000 RPM at 100% load. Notably, it features an internal 135mm dual ball-bearing fan with a 0 RPM mode when under 10% load, ensuring quiet operation when the system is not under heavy load.
Efficiency is another key aspect of the Hela 2500Rz. It has a Cybenetics Platinum efficacy certification, meaning it converts up to 94% of the input power into usable output power. This makes it one of the most efficient power supplies currently available.
The Hela 2500Rz is designed to power a single workstation that requires extreme power. It can support up to four RTX 4090 or three RTX 5090 graphics cards, making it an ideal choice for professionals and enthusiasts who demand the highest performance from their systems.
However, it's important to note that the Hela 2500Rz is not compatible with standard 110-volt outlets in most U.S.-based households. It works with 240-volt outlets, which are more common in commercial and industrial settings.
The Hela 2500Rz adheres to the ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.0 standards, ensuring compatibility with the latest hardware. It uses Japanese capacitors, a testament to its quality and reliability.
While pricing and availability for the Hela 2500Rz have not been disclosed, it's clear that this power supply is set to make a significant impact in the market for high-end graphics card power supplies.
This power supply unit, the Hela 2500Rz, not only caters to high-end graphics cards but also fits seamlessly with data-and-cloud-computing setups, as it boasts multiple connectors designed for modern hardware. With its efficient heat dissipation and quiet operation, it is a preferred technology choice for both professionals and high-end enthusiasts willing to invest in gadgets of superior performance.
