I'm joining the party here to wait for Q6600 becomes half of current value. And then I play around with PSU calculator Lite...
I put all the thing that will be in my rig and guess what...
- E6600 O/C to 3200 with 1.4V needs 454 Watt
- Q6600 O/C to 3200 with 1.4V needs 875 Watt
The rest of the settings are:
- High end desktop
- 85% TDP
- 2 sticks DDR2 SDRAM
- NVidia 8800 GTS 320 MB
- 2x SATA 7,200 RPM HDD
- 1x DVD RW
- 56K PCI Modem
- Fan Controller + Front Card Reader + Front LCD bay
- 3 x 12cm Led Fan + 1 x 12cm Fan
- 1 cold cathode
- System at 100% Load
- No Capacitor aging
Is this about correct? If I'm going to build a overclocked quad core machine, is it fair to say that I need those 1000W PSU to be safe?
