    Did I purchase a power supply with enough wattage?

    Lol you people I never, ever said this setup would break 1000w. I said it could run closer to that amount when ocing on the vgas, and a higher quality unit (which usually are the higher wattage ones) would be a better fit to the setup, specially on the efficiency side. Wow, so incoherent!

    Did I purchase a power supply with enough wattage?

    I won't say nothing is good enough at the 1000w level, but I personally wouldn't go for a GQ, and I've found that the best units are the +1400w ones. Regarding overhead, it's very easy to run out of it with these setups. I'm still waiting for my WC parts to arrive but on my short stress tests...

    Did I purchase a power supply with enough wattage?

    This may surprise you but these superior components I'm talking about are found in the higher wattage units. Who would have thought? You can go check out the specifics by comparing the internals of the ax1200i vs the ax1500i. Anyway, you seem set on your thoughts disregarding any of the...

    Did I purchase a power supply with enough wattage?

    There's definitely a tangible benefit in a unit with superior internal components and higher build quality (i.e. the ax1500i). It's more efficient, clearer (better ripple performance, better voltage regulation, etc.) and has a higher headroom. If the internals were almost identical between...

    Did I purchase a power supply with enough wattage?

    I'm aware that the wall power measurement is higher than the internal consumption, but like I said, that's an averaged measurement (peaks can be much higher, specially on PSUs like the T2 1600) and, in my case, power draw will only go up once I set up my WC and oc the TXPs (like the OP is going...

    Did I purchase a power supply with enough wattage?

    I don't think it's more than enough. It will work and it's unlikely you'll run into problems, but I don't think it's recommended. I got a very similar setup that's pulling 650-700W under heavy load (6850k@4.4, 2xStock TXP), and since that's averaged, you want something that can handle the...

    Pretty sure this is due to the recent 38UC99 announcement. Good price nonetheless!

    Corsair 600C bottom rad airflow: good or bad?

    So I just got a Corsair 600C case (inverted ATX). I'll be installing a CLC (with the radiator at the bottom of the case), but I've been wondering about the airflow. Corsair shows an example for this case: The problem with this fan layout is that the radiator fans are acting as an exhaust...

    Your GPU progression?

    I have no idea how you guys remember some of this s**t, pretty sure I'm forgetting at least 2 o 3 vgas I've owned. I can barely remember the stuff I bought when I was a teenager. 1998: 3dfx voodoo2 (Borrowed for 1 month to play NFS III with the glorious "glide" graphics) 2003: GeForce FX5200...

    Microsoft Will Make Steam "Progressively Worse" With Windows 10 Patches

    Exactly this. Yes, Microsoft pushed some of their products way too aggressively in the past, but it hasn't been without consequences (think Microsoft Corp v Commission, United States v. Microsoft Corp). The fact that Chrome has now a 48-52% (depending on mobile figures) market share should...

    Looking to build a gaming PC again. Need advice.

    Just a heads up about the W10 offer - if you have a retail Win8 license on your current PC, upgrade to Win10 now (or before 7/29). You'll be able to use that key in the new system: it will automatically transfer the moment you use it to authenticate your license in the new system. Source...
