it doesnt need a 750w psu lol it would probably work on a 500 manufactures always overrate the stats for the required psu

 

 

because it looks cool. It dosen't really need 2x8pin.

 

The minimum requierment is always way to high. So that a 30$ "800W" psu will handle it too... :D

 

 

The PSU requirement on the box is not at all what it needs and it most likely requires 2 8 pins due to it being an OC model I am not sure though 1x8 pin 1x6 pin is usually the standard.

 

 

Manufacturer recommendations are overestimated so that they don't have to worry about anyone running into any issues with an underpowered PSU..

 

 

Hopefully sarcasm. ......

 

So 600W EVGA 600B Would be enough !?

Yeah you should be perfectly fine..

Tiny Tom Logan (OC3D) did a test on his where he ran an i5-4670K (OC'd) and a GTX 780TI (OC'd) on a 450W PSU.. Not that he recommends doing that, but it technically works..

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

I am running a OC'd 4790k and OC'd 290 on a 550w no issues at all.
You can't be serious.  Hyperthreading is a market joke?

This question I want to ask since I bought this Card ( R9 280x Vapor-x Tri-x ) Why the hell does it need 2x8 Pin power Connectors and why Sapphire says it require minimum 750W PSU -_- Does it draw more power than other brands !?

Make sure u get a good quality psu and it has the correct connection for the card you are buying.

I'm running now XFX 650W 80+ Bronze ProSeires which I heard that it's from the highest brands in PSUs but it's really loud ( due to room temp is about 30~26 ) under load So I'm thinking about getting EVGA 600B

Loud? Coil whine? I have a XFX TS550w and it works great. Evga makes good psu's. I think the Supernova G2 750w is on sale usually for 100$. 10year warranty!!!

no nothing wrong with it normal Fan ram up due to heat and full load ( XFX Hyper fan mode ) and to make it fully quiet I have to put my case right under the AC or wait the winter where the temp in both about 10~20 So to avoid all that I just will replace it :D

30$ psu.........

but that's one of the main reasons they have so high minimum requierments, not everyone is on linustechtips. You can buy some oem offbrand shit psu that claims it could deliver 700W, but it never will. Than some guy, buying a 280x, will complain that the GPU is not working. But he will never even understand that his psu is at fault because it's labeled wrong.

 

If they overestimate the psu requierment they reduce the complaints of customers
