We received a kill-a-watts meter at work so I brought it home to see just how much power my computer was pulling from the wall. Just the PS cord, not the monitors or any peripherals. So I fired up Furmark on my pair of heavily overclocked 290s at 5760x1080 with 8xAA on. Then I fired up 8 threats of the heat generating Prime95 test on my 5Ghz FX-8350. HOLY CRAP, 940 Watts! Quick turn it off before it bursts into flames. Gotta give cudos to Corsair for a quality product.
So needless to say I'm in the market for a new PSU but am a little financially strapped with the flooding and all. I'm looking at the EVGA 220-P2-1200-X1. There's lots of positive reviews on it. Any personal experience here?
Thanks.
