Gtx 580 question

lilcal20 · Dec 25, 2011

Hi well firstly, merry Christmas to you all, now today I got my i5-2500k, and in a few days time I will be purchasing a gtx 580 evga card. I currently have a corsair 650w tx psu, I want to know if this will be enough to power the 580. From what I have read it should be fine, but making sure.

Yes. My HX 650 powers an older Nehalem oc'd at 4ghz 24/7 with my GTX 580. You will have no issues. You'd be lucky to hit 500W full load.. (I would almost think it'd be near impossible.. lol).

Yes, you should be fine with a single 580.

Yep, I wouldn't go adding a second one but you should be fine. When I had a single 580 it pulled around 400W under 100% load (for the full system, according to kill-a-watt)

Same here at stock clocks (well CPU was overclocked).
