I don't think there is a single GPU that you couldnt run on 750W, or quite a bit less for that matter.

Even with a 5ghz clock at 1.41 volts?

[*knock-out05*]

go with the 7970;

[prpntblr95]

It looks to be more in my budget as well.

Your whole system will likely be under 400w peak.

What if he has 100 GPUs, 100 CPUs, and 50 hard drives running at peak load? And then what if he plugs it into a non-GFCI outlet next to his sink?

indeed.

if it hits 400 peak thats with gpu and cpu at full synthetic benchmark stress. probably real world use peak is around 300 or so. depending on what gpu you are using.

i wish i had a kil-a-watt on hand, i would test my rig

2600K@4.5ghz 1.29v
8gb xms3 @1600mhz
EVGA GTX 680 SC
P8P67 pro rev 3.1
2 HDD 1 SSD
Seasonic X750 Gold PSU

A GTX 590 uses around 170w more at load, really?

well yeah. the TDP is 365W for a 590, its 170W for a 680. 243W for a 580.

Got a new toy today. Yes i know my cable management is horrible,but i blame this case. And the reason why i got the 4gb model is because i like to add mods to my games that are pretty vram intensive.

Specs.
i7 2600k@4.5Ghz
8GB 1600mz DDR3
GTX 680 4GB

For as long as your water tubing is... do you really need the kink prevention springs?

[GriM! V2]

the tubing came already like that when i got the case 4 years ago.

[erayser]

Ah... okay. I'm not a fan of anti-kink springs. I have more bends in my tubing... but I played with the length so I didn't have to use them. I would have used them if I had kink issues though.

New build. Waiting on my CPU cooler prolly getting an h212 Evo. And I ended up hiding the bundle of wires behind the mobo panel. Was a little tight but I got it.

Also gonna prolly add another case fan on the side or on the front to push air in.

I have holes for wire management, but the space behind my mobo is about 1/2" so don't feel too bad. Makes getting a clean looking interior pretty much impossible. NZXT case. Stay away.

I remember my first build, took like 6 hours. Took it all apart and repainted but every time I emptied the case I found better ways to run the cables to make it look cleaner looking.

How to MacBook Air the right way. Internet sharing (MBA becomes wifi AP) is great in my wi-fi-less dorm. There's also a 12 inch 200 watt sub under the desk.
