374W for me...and I have an 800W PSU...right...

Boyfriend · Dec 23, 2008

this is total BS...

Seems like for each 260's you have, you add 300W. So the extra 2 = 600W.

Now that's a bug for sure.

646!!! Watts. I dont think its true but then again...

Whoa!! That's 4 watts close to max of ur psu. Corsair TX650.

twicksisted · Dec 23, 2008

554w for me... glad i got that 1000w now

now for an HD4870X2 i think and a new mobo that does 2X 16X pice

MoonPig · Dec 24, 2008

Im not liking this:

367 watt : 3870XT
517 watt : 8800GTX

Someone tell me thats wrong, please. Getting my 8800GTX in afew days.

For some reason the nvidia cards psu requirements are all higher then usual.

The dam 4870x2 it said was 2** something watts. :shadedshu :wtf:

MoonPig · Dec 24, 2008

hmm.. Best be out, don't feel comfortable using 89% of my power...

Lol but that still leaves 500+w for the rest of his system... The Calc is BS and is way over, probably to protect there asses if some thing went wrong.

Urbklr · Dec 24, 2008

392 Watts

372w for my rig and 359w for my girlfriends.

And I somehow think this is meant to show you what PSU you should have....not what your system will be using...as you don't want to use more than 75%~ of your PSUs rated output so AsRocks PSU should have a 550w~ PSU but his system will only use 385w.

I'll quote myself again just in case you missed it Asrock.

Work out your scores..you'll see the ratio and my method of thinking is pretty much accurate.

Jaffakeik · Dec 24, 2008

it gave me 601watt

Oops.... Yes that be about right as if i do it as 2x 2900XT it comes too 733w.

FordGT90Concept · Dec 24, 2008

461 Watts!

But, they don't list Opterons so the processor isn't correct...

According to this site: http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

Server is at: 506w
Desktop is at: 392w

Big variation between the two sites. :x

MRCL · Dec 24, 2008

590. Another calculator posted somewhere here showed me 631...

AphexDreamer · Dec 24, 2008

Don't think its accurate at all. This gives me 391Watts while another site gave me somewhere close to 600Watts big difference but that could me since I choose the HD3870 and not the HD3870X2 considering it has every GPU listed on there but that.

It doesn't compensate for the size of the Fans (120cm, 90cm, etc...) nor if it has LED's or not as well as the increase in voltage I have manually given to the CPU from the default 1.300 Volts to 1.485 Volts.

Just my 2cents. I would hate for someone to use this to really buy there PSU and then find out it fails.

Yes guys REMEMBER IT GIVES YOU THE RECOMMENDED PSU, NOT HOW MUCH POWER YOU ARE USING.

(sorry about the big letters, some peeps are still getting confused)

Pinchy · Dec 24, 2008

Its way off.

Take the system from this review:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/HIS/HD_4850_IceQ4/24.html and put it in the calculator.

W1zzards tests say 208W @ peak, MSI's calc says 370W.

Tatty_Two · Dec 24, 2008

679w for me :eek:

HeavyH20 · Dec 24, 2008

1217 Watts is what I got on the calculator which is about right. Now, assuming that they are trying to keep you at 50% for normal load ratings, it makes sense. I measured my system at the wall and it draws about 800 Watts or actual internal use of about 650 Watts or so. You could get away with a smaller PSU but it will run hotter and less efficient and use more electricity negating any saved dollars on the cheaper PSU. Spend now or spend later.

Well i went for efficiency while gaming and if i went for CF based on this review.
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTM2OSw0LCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==

Never mind the quility of the PSU. Maybe if i thought i'd never go CF a lower wattage one i might of gone for. I should be good for the 5870 if not the x2. BUT gotta see about that as power usage is a concern but so is my gaming needs haha.
