Again, wrong. Load wattage is showing as much as 400 watts.

400 + 130 + 50 (system parts,) plus 20 for mobo = 600 watts. Since you shouldn't go over 90% load on PSU that mean 760 * .9 = 684 watts. They are close to that. Huzzah.

Most load usage is around 380 watts, so 760 watts for two titans alone? Hue.

True, only overclocked 780ti cards hit 400 watts usage, but it happens. The cards alone consume 300 watts by themselves, so you definitely will be getting real close to 760 watts.

Wtf the 400w was a full system load not a single card! Noob

Nice job dude :D really like what you did with the build.

Just curious, what monitors do u use?

Also you can quote people if you would like to respond to them

Hey mate thanks, main monitor is a PB278q, and secondary is VE278q.

 

Really nice job! Enjoyed the pics and the beauty of this build!

Only a question, why not have the monitors at the same height? :)

Hey cheers for the comment mate, only reason there different heights is the ve278q doesn't have hight adjust and its uncomfortable for me to have the main monitor lower because of sitting position and such.  Going to get something for it to sit on to bring it up though :)

Epic build mate just one suggestion I have 760 psu as well u should flip it over so can see fan n grill. Ppl may comment about dust though the fan is on only half the time during gaming n u can blow it out with compressed air anyway if needed. Just a though to top off your build cause it looks too good to have the psu sticker showing like it is.

Yeh as soon as I finished i looked at it and the sticker stood out lol will end up flipping it.

 

Cheers for all the comments guys, absolutely loving the system and playing games maxed at 1440p most of the time :)

I wouldn't flip the psu. If the label bothers that much you could consider using a piece of carbon fiber wrap. If you scroll down http://www.overclock.net/t/922583/guide-to-carbon-fiber-wrap-gallery you will see an example of a psu. I believe the stuff is also available in colors.

You say you wouldn't flip it over, though why?

I don't like the idea of a fan exhausting air out the bottom rear of the case. It means reworking case airflow to insure all components get good air. It also offers an opening for things to drop in and potentially damage the psu.

The amount of air a platinum rated psu expels is so minimal that I would never let it influence the aesthetic of my build. For your other reason, just place a hand towel over the top whilst working on your rig.
