Hi Guys.

 

I ordered the Corsair RM650 today.

 

I thought it would be enough.

 

My System:

 

1x i5 2500k (~70w)

1x Zotac GTX980Ti amp! extreme (max ~321w)

2x 4 GB vengeance DDR3 RAM (?)

1x 1 SSD (?)

1x 3 7200/min HDD (?)

6x 140mm Fans (each ~3w)

 

The Calculator said the whole System need about 470w.

 

Is the RM650 PS enough to run it within energie efficiens ect?

 

Sorry im Powersupplie noob and never thought much about it bevore.

 

Thank you.

Get to the coolermaster psu calculator/ watt calculator its free and check how much would you be consuming your power after you give the details in it. Leave some room to improve by getting a little bit more than that and there we go, . :)http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/ there are two versions. normal one and advanced one. I suggest the advanced one for better result. :)

The launch of the rm series was bad, but the latest revision is quite good. I have a rm750, and its amazing. People whine about the old models not having full japs caps, but will ya bloody notice? Nahh

Lots of the PSU calculators are just estimates (I'm not saying they are bad at all), I personally  would rather look at real world measured values to get a more accurate estimate  :)

You can check out this article on the 980Ti by Techspot to get an idea on how much power different systems actually draw: http://www.techspot.com/review/1011-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti/page9.html

 

You can also check out Luke's video on PSU's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKnfmeuOmXc

Thx to all.

 

I played it safe and changed my order to the RM750i (RM750 not available). This one got nice Scores and has quality inside. If i want upgarde my cpu and push the Zotac even more, i have a bit extra power left.
