Never heard of it

 

First thing i notice is a 30A output on the 12v rail. Thats only 360 watts :lol:
Where does the other 300 come from?!

A 650 watt psu with a single 30 amp 12v rail, you're right.
Stop trying to be so cheap

im confused here, i did a psu calculator at http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine and if i overclock to 3.6ghz on my quad i need a psu of 830w.

do i really need that big a one, or get a quality branded 500w say?

Did u set the cpu to "quad socket"??
If so thats wrong....common mistake. Thats for a motherboard with literally 4 sockets for 4 separate processors (so 16 cores).

If not what voltage did u put for the OC because 830W is way too much. That Thermaltake or the other (or Corsair i showed) is plenty
