Is 1000 watts gonna be enough with overclocking

PeggersXtreme
Go to solution Solved by Thermal,

According to this -> http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine
You'd be drawing around 1050w with a core voltage of 1.4 and a fuck load of fans at 100% load on EVERTYHING. Safer to go for a 1200+w methinks!

Yeah I think I will call the store tomorrow and swap for the evga 1300watt here in the UK it's only an extra £20 around ($36 Canadian) so I think it will be worth it for the safety of the system lol

 

Woop UK! Where you ordering from?

I'm ordering from Scan, had it on order for 3 weeks but they are struggling to get my motherboard in stock so may have to order that component from Amazon, I ordered my custom yellow and black sleeved cables from overclockers and the mayhem pastel sunset yellow concerntrate coolant :P

I will be creating a build log thread soon as soon as I get some of the parts and have finished building the custom desk case for it all :)

Nice graphics cards designs on your profile BTW, I did a similar thing in college accept mine was for game development using photoshop to create the drawings / designs to then use them as assets in a how to build a PC based software My designs aren't as detailed as yours though lol good work man

Yeah lol agree on the patience 100% I usually end up zooming in until I can see individual pixels to get some of my designs perfect I don't get to do much design now though since completing college and moving on to working in digital marketing I design more infographics now lol

Hey PeggersXtreme,
 
That's a pretty enthusiastic plan. The guys gave you some good suggestions. I'd say get a larger than recommended PSU so you can be on the safe side with the overclocking. Also more powerful PSU would mean that the fan of the PSU would spin up less often. 
Regarding the storage, WD Black are great performance drives. If you are planning on putting them on a RAID array I would consider swapping them with WD Red ones for better stability and safety of your data: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=iMZoQd

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^

I didn't plan on doing a raid I planned on having one WD black for games and the other I haven't really got a use for yet but I wanted to get everything now rather than later the Toshiba drive is going to be for my photography files and videos files and I also have WD my cloud to back important files up on. thanks

I usually just get a fast boot drive and put important things on that game wise I don't feel a benefit using an SSD over a WD black as the WD black drives are super quick already I don't know the model number of the m.2 but its a Samsung 256gb and has read speeds of 2150mbs and write speed of 1400mbs :P

make sure you double check everything that you get as I had a "wrongly advertised" issue with Scan a couple of months ago. I am sure you will be ok though.

Oh, really? I haven't had a problem in the past just takes a while to get stuff when they don't have an ETA for it the 980ti and Titan X backplates are a real pain to get hold of at the moment.

My parts are:

i7 5960X

Titan X x2

WD black 2TB x2

Toshiba 4TB

Samsung 256gb m.2 SSD

MSI X99A Xpower

Evga supernova G2 1000watt

Is 1000 watts enough for all this with cup and gpu overclocks thanks

No harm in checking parts out lol power supplies aren't my strong point I haven't ever done SLI in the past so only ever usually needed 600-800watts

I'd say if you have the money just go with a 1200w, I'm sure you could get away with a solid 1000w but when you're spending this much anyway, why not be safe?

Parts are on the way so a build log will be coming soon I cancelled the motherboard which was holding up the parts being delivered and ordered it from Amazon as they were one of the only places that had it in-stock and I got the next PSU up in the EVGA line the 1300watt G2 it had to be a EVGA as I have already got my Cables from Cable Mod for the EVGA G2 and P2 series PSU's I don't have time to self sleeve the cables so seemed cheaper and more practical to buy them from cable mod

Glad we could help

I think you have made the right choice with a larger PSU

I look forward to seeing your photos and performance after you have built it

Good luck on the lottery

well, the wattage isn't the most important thing. the rail is.  although with any juicy psu these days they will cover u.  Dont forget that the second gfx card won't take as much juice as the first.
