Just worked out my system on it... 333Watts apparantly. Ok, it's only a rough guide, but i doubt i would ever pull that in one go. As i doubt i'd use all 5 USB devices to the full at once.

Going to work out my new system on it... IF it lets me.

Nope, no support for Dual Cores on it. Bit crappy tbh, i may look around see if i can find power draw and add that myself

I could probably pull more than that if I o/c'd the video card and slapped watercooling or a prometia/phase in.

Thats with a 24% OC on my CPU, and the massive 46% this Video Card is capable of. Oh, and for some reason the 6% the RAM always OC's itself by.

I mean more than the approx. 583W I could draw under load atm.

And there we have it, a gorssly overcalculated version of my sisters PC, which happens to run smooth as anything on a 180W PSU (from one of our old PC's)

It SHOULD be dead by now if it pulls that much load... surely?

Run Prime95 on it for 24 hours.

Fair enough, now to keep my sister off it for 24hours... Easier said than done.

I know it's stable, it's been running like this for about 7months now.

Try this calculator instead, might be a bit more reliable

That one reccomends around 220W. Just noticed somethign severely wrong with my sisters machine... Heat.

In this hot weather it's hitting 65'C, and then shutting itself off. Looks like i'm replacing the thermal paste, and re-seating the HSF when i'm prepared to (got no spare thermal paste!)

Holding off testing for now

Calculate my main rig @ a more realistic 265W.

Gonna run the new system through it now... If this one supports it (i think it does)

---------- Post added at 14:19 ---------- Previous post was at 14:17 ----------

Ok, the new system would check in at around 350W... Which i think may well be wrong.

OMW, benchmarks are rolling in for Conroe's now, check this one, sub 10 second 1mb superpi!

Yep, pure madness, been watching this myself in amazement.

5GHZ?! It was already faster than AMD's processors at 2.6GHZ!
