gtx1060 3/6gb . is  x-calibre 400w +80 is enough for 3 or 6gb?

For most people their average idle wattage is 120watts.  When you game that will barely reach 300w.  You have plenty head room with a 400watt psu my friend.

Absolutely not.

0.5/10, a ton of issues. And that is a 2013 review. Imagine how bad it would show up on tests in 2019. It even blew up because there was no OPP!

 

Edit: I WAY understated how bad this piece of garbage is. It blows up when loaded to 400W! It's probably even more worse than Diablotek PSUs!

It's not about the wattage at that point, it's about being a crap PSU.
