I'm learning about psu's but i am a little confused
lets take for example a gtx 1060 6gb
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/
It says:
Graphics Card Power: 120W
Recommended System Power: 400W
i found out on a psu you should look at the 12v rail,
what i don't understand, why do you need 400w if it only pulls 120w
shouldn't the minimum requirements be 150w to 200w on the 12v rail?
i even used my watts meter device, and the card pulls around 120w
