“You got a 1kW PSU for your rig? Nah, just for the proc”
I know these aren’t for home, but in the US/Japan/Canada/Mexico you’re gonna start seeing the need for dedicated breakers. A lot of apartments skimped and put in 10-15 amp breakers, which can (safely) support 960-1440 watts. A 20 amp breaker can do 1,900 watts at least, but again that’s usually for an entire room. Not just a single device.
Edit: added a few more countries that use 110/120V to illustrate it’s not just a US issue.

I remember when we didn’t even need radiators on the top PC processors. Yeah, those were the times…

“up to” being the key word here.
But seriously, AI is so power hungry, I’ve heard plans of water-cooling the fucking traces on the motherboards of high-power server racks
