Requirements:
-100% CPU utilization

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 )

 

[ceewi1]

Recommendation 394W, using Antec Neo480.

 

[69mako]

Recomended 520W, using 550W Antec.....

i think there was already a thread made like this..

I thought there was, but there was no requirement on the CPU utilization, Surge compression or Capacitor aging Sooo...now we can actual compare the results.

[Motoxrdude]

511W. Im using a 400W PSU

 

[Bobo]

351W

but 611W with an x1900xt? Wtf? wow....

 

[Motoxrdude]

You sure you entered in all the information?

 

[Bobo]

Yes. I entered it with the x1900, and without it, and that's what I got.

 

[ckfordy]

Recommendation was 444 Watts and i have a 600 Watt Hipro powersupply.

 

[a123]

uhh it recommends 475W.

i have 380W

 

[bumblebee_tuna]

380W here.....

 

[Cromewell]

331W recommended, I'm running a 520W OCz powerstream.

I think something is a little off on the calculator, because the 380W Antec TruePower I had before was struggling with a lighter load.

 

[Crash5291]

says 365W at current OC running Enermax 460w.

 

[palidon112]

306 watt, im currently running the stock 300 watt psu, but ill be gettign a 520 soon.
