Requirements:
-100% CPU utilization
-10% Surge compression
-10% Capacitor aging

Post your wattage, and what wattage your power supply has.

I'll start. Recommendation was 535 watts, I have a 550 watt Ultra X2 PSU.

Requirements:
-100% CPU utilization
-10% Surge compression
-10% Capacitor aging

Recommendation was 624 watts, I have a 620 watt Corsair HX620W.. I'm pretty sure something is terribly wrong here, i gues i messed up up

( also i think this PSU has a higher Surge compression and Capacitor aging than 10%.. but that would raise the required Wattage insanely,.. so I seriously messed this one up i think XD )

Recommendation 394W, using Antec Neo480.
