You can still use two 1000w PSU's to run them so you are still kind of wrong  Roll Eyes

THE 2000W PSU WAS ON SALE IN A 220V (EU/ASIA) MARKET--

In the USA, a 2000W load in a single room will trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse.  2000W is too much for the electrical code standards in the USA (120V circuits).

If you run a 2000W PSU in the USA you could overheat the wiring in a house and cause a fire.  Special 220V circuits for ovens, dryers, garage equipment, and air conditioners must be installed by licensed electricians.

No fucking duh. Also, just because the shit tier 15A circuits are common doesn't mean you're gonna cause a fire - most houses actually have one or even several 20A circuits.

scryptr is dead on on this I the past i have run two rigs each on 1000 watt psu's on a 20 amp circuit with 12 guage wire which is spec for 20amp curcuits however resedential us circuits even 20 amp are not rated for CONTINIOUS load even at the 1800 watts i was pulling , Power spikes can happen and eveb though the circuit never tripped when i moved the miners to a diff location i noticed the outlets were browing and pulling out the entire thing you could see the wires were in terrible shape, 20 amp or not never put more than 1000 to 1400 watts on a residential specced 20 amp
