SilverStone HELA 2050 Power Supply is Hella Powerful, Hella Compact
SilverStone today introduced the HELA 2050 fully modular ATX power supply. This absolute unit packs over 2 kW of juice in a box that's just 18 cm in length. Typically, PSUs over 1600 W are over 20 cm in length. The 18 cm length makes this PSU fit for even mid-towers, if you've figured out what to do with that much power—a record-chasing overclock on both your swanky new Core i9-12900K plus an equally maxed out RTX 3090 or RX 6900 XT. The PSU has been certified Cybenetics Platinum for its main function, and Cybenetics Standard+ for acoustics.
The SilverStone HELA 2050 W uses a 135 mm double ball-bearing fan, and can be made to run completely fanless up to 820 W load. Connectors include one 24-pin ATX, two 4+4 pin EPS, one 12-pin Molex microfit 3.0 connector that you can directly plug into NVIDIA RTX 30-series Founders Edition graphics cards, eighteen 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors, twelve SATA power, three 4-pin Molex, and a Berg. Under the hood, the HELA 2050 uses a single 170-Amp +12 V rail (enough juice to crank a truck). You also get active PFC, DC-to-DC switching (up to 120 W on the 5 V and 3.3 V rails), and most common electrical protections. Available toward late-December 2021, the SilverStone HELA 2050 is expected to be priced at USD $599.

What do you run on the 5v line that is so demanding?
Not even an American truck which is really a pickup and requires at least 300A.
unless you're looking before 2006 . . .
Are these even usable in the USA? This guy is trying to pull 2350 watts, and he has problems:

Might be interesting for a quiet gaming PSU assuming it doesnt have crazy coil whine like the NJ700 or Prime TX-700.
The manual doesn't state differences in that fan mode department, another argument why the all certification stuff is pure bullshit. It states forced air cooling and semi FAN mode with MCU and that is it. Cybenetics that or this. It is not readable, it is not very professional, despite how one tried to look it like it should be, it looks like made by a student in the end of the day, of course during the last night before deadline. The manual should contain it all, like most products actually had during cold war era. Schematics, specs, part list and all curves in all modes, like you mentioned need. You sample any kind of stickers on it, what does it mean that units with the same sticker set vary a lot and you still have to search some obscure info to decide what to buy. Those standards are made to make the purchase easier, yes? But it is not. Cybenetics Standard+ for acoustics, like it does mean something.
You cannot blame Silverstone for that tho, Seasonic even doesn't provide also anything more, I would say even less, albeit their product page shows Fan operation graph as a PR picture.

Hella: english slang word
Silverstone is the manufacturer of this PSU, not this "Hella".

...unless, you mean that "Hella Powerful, Hella Compact" might be taken as an association with this company, then I agree.
Besides, that title isn't that good anyway.
