Hi Tom's people!
I just upgraded my motherboard to OC better. The old one didn't let me, but now I don't have enough power with my current 600w PSU (system shuts down with any CPU OC). Now I'm looking at the Corsiar AX 860i. Here are my specs:
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Gene
CPU: i7-3930k
PCI1: Nvidia GTX 780 ti
PCI2: Nvidia GTX 750 ti
PCI3: Ceton InfiniTV-4 PCI-e
SATA1: Samsung EVO 750 GB
SATA2: Barracuda 2 TB
SATA3: LG Blue Ray Burner
RAM: Mushkin Redline 32 GB PC17000
Cooler: Corsair H100i
Fans: Noctua NF-S12A PWM x 2
Case: Corsiar 350D (with stock case fans)
USB: Card reader, PS3 Controller Charger, Blutooth Dongle, Keyboard/Mouse receiver dongle, & USB speaker output
I think that's about everything that sucks power from my computer. When I did an online calculator, it said I'd draw 643 watts, but I don't know whether that's under a full or partial load, and I don't know whether that accounts for doing an OC on the CPU.
My goal is to run the 3930k at 4.5 - 4.7 for a 24hr OC, so maybe the lower end of that. Is the AX 860i enough? I want to get some opinions, and you Tom's people know a lot about this stuff.
Also, I don't plan to add anything to the computer, especially since it's already packed. I'll appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!
