bushwack June 14, 2008 Share bushwack Member June 14, 2008 What kind of hardware would require 1000W? Tri video card setup with a 10 disk array running dual quads? Not a bad deal but I'm starting to become anti-rebate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher June 14, 2008 Author Share Preacher Member June 14, 2008 I simply posted it in case someone was planning on a system sometime soon, Cujo is just so conceited he thinks all the posts are directed at him. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC June 15, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member June 15, 2008 He might have been talking to Bushwack because he said, "Who has a 1000 watt PSU?", and Cujo said he did. Maybe you think all of Cujo's posts are directed at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX June 17, 2008 Share NOFX Member June 17, 2008 imagine the power bill with that sucker running 24/7. I've actually picked up a new hobby. It's called underclocking. Right now I have my C2d setup running on a 665Mhz bus. Before I was running around 900Mhz I think. It really cooled down the system quite a bit and I can still play COD4. I've also taken up switching my power strip off when I leave the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo June 17, 2008 Share Cujo Member June 17, 2008 just because the psu is rated to 1000w doesn't mean it actually uses 1000w all the time. i'm surprised how many people don't realize this. in reality my system is consuming about 321w when sitting writing this msg and has peaked at 501w in the last couple weeks since i started monitoring.

NOFX June 17, 2008 Share NOFX Member June 17, 2008 yea I know its not a constant power... Its more than likely the maximum it can do for a very brief amount of time. But with that PSU you are capable of pulling much more constant power than a 500 watter. Also, I would even bet that if you put that psu in my existing system it would use more watts than my 500 watter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher June 17, 2008 Author Share Preacher Member June 17, 2008 The PS shouldn't use any more power than the one you are using now. The difference is the max it can use if the load presents itself. My power usage is less than 400 almost all the time but it has spiked a time or two to almost 600. I personally have a 750 and am glad that it is above what I will need with this system.
