QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ May 2 2013, 06:56 PM) The GX550 power supply is not exactly a reputable power supply, so I'd suggest changing it when you're actually intending to run a CFX set-up. The calculation of 483W though is rather absurd, and I would place the theoretical peak power consumption of your system at below 350W. so saying, i can get a 80+bronze or gold psu around 550W and it will be enough to power me down the cfx path? |

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ May 2 2013, 08:02 PM) Well, theoretically yes, a good 550W power supply can support two HD7850's power consumption along with the rest of your system's components, but to be safe, get a power supply with a capacity of at least 600W. thanks for your clarification.  |

QUOTE(Cable707 @ May 7 2013, 01:48 PM) We knew already regarding seasonic reputablility.But,do you know about Intel Haswell's Zero Power States? Oh man, I have really no idea about these... I thought Haswell is dubbed as more power efficient. Sorry for the uninformative comments |
