PS

Guess these days we really need to consider the power supply's we used to need are not required these days as things become less power consuming.

[Hooded]

Yeah my 850 Platinum's seem to be more than enough for any of my systems

I'm using a 520W fanless PSU for a 6700K and a 1080. More than enough. Overclocked, and under heavy load, it uses less than 300W.

kinda wasted money it seems ...

Yeah, return it and get a 500W unit or something.

[nass]

Ya should, but likely wont, is here now so will work with it I guess. Not sure that sunflower worked on the lower speced units though believe they are the oem for evga now. 10 year warranty

have always hated to return stuff will have this biatch installed before they open this morning.. Don't care about the 40-50 bucks. But next time will consider the power requirements. Evga was saying to get a 600 watt in there dothingy there.

[bungwirez]

certainly its good engineering news that power consumption is falling over the years.

Soon stuff won't even be hot enough to water cool!

[nass]

Ya it surprised me when Cyclops said his system under load was drawing 300 watts. Looks will still matter necro and 80c on gpu, 70 on cpu going to be needing water still.

No problems with the new PS everything went fine still need to manage the cable but waiting on some parts before I will tie things up.
