PSU in MSI Codex?

[SirFlamenco]

Hi! 

 

Today I saw an incredible ebay listing offerning a MSI 6700k 1080 sli system for under 2000, which is pretty amazing. I am really thinking about buying it, but something bother me : the PSU wattage. It might not be enough.. Does any of you know what PSU they put in this usually?

 

Thanks,

Chris

PSU will be fine, your only need about 450w for a 6700k + dual 1080 system

Lol if it's that good of a deal then fuck it, just buy your own. Also, what PSU is it? How much wattage?

It's 500w. I think if you heavily OC it won't be enough.

You pull 490w none OCed on a TDP restricted bios. You can pull near 600w on a laptop OCed and TDP unlocked, but chassis constrained. 

 

 

You can definitely pull 700w on a desktop with full unlocked GPUs.
