Why has no one bought this?

[Jono8]

Probably cut it close. This has massive power consumption..

Don't think it throttles, if you can find some info to back it up then I believe you.

687 at the wall is only 550w from a bronze rated PSU, you should be good to go

(don't try it, there's more to power than just watts).

Quote for the box art right there.

 

[JediFragger]

I'd go for a 295x2 over this anyday

 

[fat4l]

1600W platinum or 2000W

well it peaks at 1200w, so anything above is sufficent.


Also ppl bare in mind that if the system draw from the wall is 800w it doenst mean ur 800w psu is not nuff.

800W psu delivers 800w for components but with 90% efficiency it will draw 890w from wall. Not saying its good when ur running at max watts but..... U get me right


About the offer, its great ...its just..no money in my pocket!
