***GPU PSU Power Usage Thread***

flol. should have got the 1600G2

Nah, this 1300W will go up to 1500W+ i bet. Plus it only cost £130.

 

[Tonester0011]

Should overload to around 20%

 

[Nickolp1974]

So far hitting 1588W but having issues, trying to iron them out

My 1000W SF plat did 1275W without issue on short benching runs. Hoping this 1300W SF gold will be at least as good. 1000W actually cost me £20 more as well.

That is mental that you can hit more W than my three cards overclocked.

Jesus, what is your second PSU?
Impressed how much those puppies can pull when the rag is on, dice next?

 

[Nickolp1974]

Got another 1000w

Think my problems ram, i've run out!! Only using 2x2gb psc sticks, just gonna switch to the tridents and test.

I will try


Switched ram, quick dirty cpu oc and now its working will be down on physics now

Always fun to see how much wattage some setups can actually draw. Still have nutters running dual cards on 600w PSU's.

I run crossfire 7950s, oc 2500k @ 4.4, all in one water cooling CPU cooler, 4 ssd drives, 2 standard sata drives and 4 fans all off of a super flower 650w psu like the one in the link.

Is that with a pair of 780 TIs? I assume you have overvolted the snot out of them.

 

[Tonester0011]

That's with the normal 780s lol.

Not Ti's normal 780's one runs at 1.4125v and the other 1.3875v
And running 1510/2027 and 1410/2027

That's with the normal 780s lol.

 

[almighty15]

^^ Pulls 580w if you have AV installed.

AV?

 

[Disco_P]

Not Ti's normal 780's one runs at 1.4125v and the other 1.3875v
And running 1510/2027 and 1410/2027

I am yet to test mine at higher volts that 1.212v. I tried Rbby's tool but I get horrible vdroop and voltage variation.

 

[thefogo]

4770k @ 4Ghz
780 Ti @ 1124/1800

Max power draw at the wall with Firestrike combined test is 415W.

 

[Nickolp1974]

Just running 3D11 and cant believe its pulling 1538W with these puppies!

Try Sky Diver with the same settings

 

[Nickolp1974]

I shall give it a go once i get this bench to play ball, all goes fine but wont load last test

 

[setter]

Ran standard FS just now. 670w ono on the gpu tests, 704w max on the combined test. My monitor is also plugged into the monitoring strip, (5 plug model). Totally stock system. Looks like i will need a new psu if i oc the cpu and cards.

System spec.

Spoiler

i7 4970k, (@stock)
Asus Z87 MVI Formula
8gb Team group vulcan red, 2400, c10
1x samsung 840 250gb ssd
1x F3 1TB hdd
11 case/cooler fans

Gonna look into replacing the psu with a new one of at least 1000w.

 

[Nickolp1974]

How are those 970/980's power usage figures??
