nasa geek Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 lol an i7 system overclocked to 4.0ghz and two 295 gtx's only uses sub 600W, you are PLENTY safe Yeah I always find it amusing when people are building a system with maybe an E8600 and a GTX260 and then they'll go and buy a 700/800w PSU and ask if it's enough or if they should upgrade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah I always find it amusing when people are building a system with maybe an E8600 and a GTX260 and then they'll go and buy a 700/800w PSU and ask if it's enough or if they should upgrade as you can see from what I'm running, I used to be one of those people LOL (except it was only a e6600 and a 8800gtx, which do use more power than an e8600 and a 260 but not 750w worth) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squinzianera Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I did it! I built my PC and it's running great!

scr4wl Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) if you want to overclock you REALLY do, those suckas run hot hot hot. Yes they do mine is currently 3.7(will be higher soon) I'm using a Vigor Monsoon 3 and my idle temps are in the mid 50s. When I prime95 it'll shoot up to almost the 90's. Basically don't worry about your temps all that much. Just so long as your comfortable BTW OP Congratulationz glad everything worked out for you Edited February 27, 2009 by tacohunter52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
