Is this good for a temporary use (4 hours at an event) to run a computer server rack which would draw under 3000 watts? Is the output stable?

I am using it to drive a PC, phone base station , speakers without shut it down for almost 3 weeks..

Yes. I do not see why it would not perform well for such a short period of time as long as the computer server does not spike demands over the limits of the transformer. I am not an electrician.

All I can say is how I use it. I use it daily for 4 hrs constantly on a unit that demands 2500 watts. I don't have any issues to date. I hope this helps you.

I used it for an event that lasted about 3 hours. Don't know about the other questions.

As I am using it for long recording sessions in the U.K. with computer-based audio recording software and eauipment, my experience is that this is a VERY stable power supply which has not failed my use.

I didn't measure the stability of the output voltage, so I don't know if the working point is close to the power limit if it's stable enough . Over all 8 can say that I am consuming arrows 1500w

I am running it on a duel monitor set up, with 3 hard drives and 3 case fans on a 600 watt power supply, so I would assume, since I only have 100 watts more than you, that it would be fine. However, I'd advise you to double check with power consumption tools, I recommend cooler master's power consumption tool ( http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/) to save you the hassle, that is the link for it. But I assume it should be fine.

That depends a lot on the other hardware in your system. It only draws 55 watts, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I can't say definitively without more information.

My SFF PC is running off a 250W power supply so I guess if your CPU is not the power hungry type (mine is the low end dual-core 3M cacahe 2.7GHz type), 300W probably will be okay.

I'm running two of these on an 850W PSU, so really anything above 350W should be fine, but you might be pushing it at 350W

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

Assuming you have the rest of the computer at similar quality I would look at a 750 to 800 watt supply

Well, by default the output current is 12 A. You could adjust under load. No load did not try. I hope I have helped a little. Juan Yaber

I was running one of these with an older PC Power & Cooling 430 W PS, never had an issue. If you are going to overclock it, you are going to have a tough time with two of them on anything less than an 850 watt power supply. But that has been my experience; your mileage may vary.

It's plenty. I run an older more power consuming socket, an amd r9 270 and 4 drives. I think you're good.

I am actually using a 300w PSU and everything works just fine for the past week (i7-4770, 8G ram, two HDs). But don't try to take my word and keep a 300w psu for long bc it's supposed to be dangerous to your equipment. I've ordered a 500W PSU and will replace as soon as it arrives.

That is the issue. If you want really long endurance off the grid you need to consider inverters, charge controllers and deep cycle batteries. All these cost a bit more and occupy more space. I've used this APC unit for 3 years with my database server and it has worked flawlessly. It is big and heavy for a UPS, but it keeps up my sever for about 2 hours when new. Monitor is off and the other equipment is run from a separate UPS.

my Dell PowerEdge 840 Servers Power Supply is 420W non-redundant, auto sensing. couldn't tell you if 300w will do. sorry

I used a 650 W PSU, but it depends on your mobo/cpu requirements. I referred to the Puget Systems site for analysis and guidance. You are likely OK - I built in some headroom for expansion later.

I think you need to keep the same wattage by what the computer uses. I don't think that there would a problem going higher on the wattage, hopefully not too high. That's the best that I can tell you

It depends on what else you are running. I have a Intel 3770k, 2 SSDs and a HDD and it runs fine with a 650 watt power supply.

I use 650W . I think it is enough. You can search some websites that tells you exactly how much you need depending on your computer.
