Succellus Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Don't make the mistake of thinking that a 1000W PSU by definition will draw 1000W. The rating is it's capacity, not what it actually draws. (Though it really is more complex than that, since capacity depends on which rails get the load.) The whole point is that if you expect your machine to ever need ~500watts, a 1000w PSU is generally what you want to buy, since the PSU will be at the most efficient energy-wise around 50% capacity. Yeah i know... but 1000W was 50% than a 850.... and i wanted to buy the warthog so it was no game.
