with your logic my cpu uses 115.5W it has a TDP of 77W yet, no amount of software, VM's, games, or rendering has ever gotten my cpu over 29.9W that's a 93.5W difference
What software do you use? Have you actually ever measured how much power comes out the wall socket when your PC is on full load? Go take a multimeter, set it on watts, put it in tandem with your computer, shock yourself, then run as many benchmarks as it takes to fully max out as many aspects of your rig possible. You'd be surprised.
i use core-temp, real-temp, speedfan, and hwmonitor, they all give the exact same numbers, my cpu has not use anymore then 29.9W go learn how pc's actually fucking work, then come back, it's common knowledge that the recommended watt's by nvidia and amd and all that are taking into account people with shitty psu's that won't ever deliver the power they say they will literally ask this on any tech forum and you'll be told the same
Mobile stuff is generally a little different, but that actually sounds about right. The 9600mGT in my MacBook will pull about 70 or so. You guys need to brush up on your computing a bit. - - - Updated - - - Why don't you go an actually research the stuff. Go do some real world testing. Go get a job in this field.
running prime95 right now in "In-Place larg FTT's(Maxmimum power consumption)", and i'm still not anywhere near the TDP, let alone the TDP *1.5 it's at a stable 41.X Watts from TDP, 36W difference from tdp*1.5, 74.5W difference so still by your logic my pc is defying the laws of electricity
A PSU won't kill a GPU by not being able to supply the power... Not unless its a crap PSU that kicked out the wrong voltage (been known)
yes, well.... if you want future proof, go 970, if you want it just for now, my asus GTX 770 gets at least 60 fps on most games.
Hey guys, I recently bought NZXT Blue LED's. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i... I have put the small circuit board in the PCI spot, and have place the lights where I like. There is a problem though, the lights are powered by a MOLEX connector, and I have no idea how/what to hook it up to. My PC fans are powered directly to my motherboard, in that case I disconnected the molex. I have no idea how to power these lights. I don't know how to connect the molex from my case to my motherboard or power supply. Parts: PSU: Corsair ax860i Motherboard: Asrock Extreme9/ac Case: Coolermaster Cosmos SE Lights: NZXT Blue LED's. Thank you very much, pf12351.
ahh yess, the A**holes of the cable world (imo), there should be come connectors for them to go to the power supply in the power supply box (it should've come with a bunch of i'm guessing un-used cables (ATM)) just have a look where you are keeping the spare cables and there may be one there, otherwise buy something like this form your preferred pc store https://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?id=10&id2=199&bid=12&sid=192612
@pf.. what you need is this: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-...&qid=1422520105&sr=8-3&keywords=molex+adapter This plugs into a SATA power thingy and gives you the possibility to connect your lights via molex.
Stock cooler, ew, ew, ew, ew. So you have a $1k rig, but you can't afford a cooler for your OC'd CPU. I don't think so.
