I did it with:

X2 3800+ 1.4V @ 2.5/1.595V
X1900XTX
10k HD
2 Sticks DDR
4 120mm fans
4 80mm fans
Fan Controller + LED thing

= 595W, which is abit cos im running on a 520W PSU....

This caused me to get my multimeter out LOL - 12.25V idle, 12.23V full load... I need a power draw thingy..

Whats yours?

LMAO I got 3328W, thats 8 way dual core opteron at 3ghz LOL

My PC seems fine, voltages are fine, so game on!

You are right, but also remember that the onboard sensor is propably inaccurate and real CPU temp is higher, also you will not have a 100% load on the CPU as that is very difficult to do, not even Folding, Prime95, SuperPI stress the CPU fully

The PSU calculator is a worst case scenario, you will always be limited by a component, if you are running a graphics intensive benchmark/game the videocard might be fully stressed but as a result the CPU isn't because it has to wait for the videocard to finish.

I think my system gets closer to 100% CPU and GPU load than most peoples, BF2+ 2 sets of F@H really really really makes temps go from around 42C 100% folding to 45C 100% BF2+Folding.

I got a power draw thingy and it said 480W, thats BF2+F@H. Thats still a hell of a lot
