How much power does your system draw

I downloaded hwmon for you but cant see a total figure anywhere?

About 850w maxed out with my GPU's on a custom bios D:. Thats power out aswell.

Usually mid 600s while gaming with a decent overclock on the GPU's.

Wot cpu is a dat? 385w from the cpu alone lol


Hw monitor says my I5 draws 85w in x264/realbench,im sure thats not accurate tho,4.5 at 1.3v is gonna be the other side off 100w i'd imagine.

All in with my GPU and all the other stuff hooked up im at around 400ish watts under full load.

wot....dat...tho??? My poor poor eyes :o
 
I just tried that EVGA link, says I require 1000watt! Can't be right? I'm running a 750watt at the moment without issue
 
That calculator says i idle 90w and max out at 375w...recommends a 521w psu. Hmmm adding a gtx960 puts the recommended score over my 620w psu limit, not good.

i7 4790k @4.7ghz
Asus maximus 6 formula Z87
8gb 2400mhz c10 ram
Msi gtx 980ti ge, (at stock)
1x samsung 840 250gb ssd
1x samsung F3 1TB hdd
9 case fans
Logitech g15 keyboard
Logitech g500 mouse

The monitor is connected to the power monitoring unit too. Idle usage is high as i run fixed cpu vcore and have speedstep etc turned off.
