Definitely Tomshardware that question

 

It depends. Two cards use 300W

use this and give yourself some extra room

After missing FedEx's first delivery of the computer case, I finally signed for it yesterday and built everything last night. I figured I'd have a problem here or there when building it or powering it on or even when it came to installing Windows, but surprising not a single issue. Only thing that did come up (which was my fault for not knowing ahead of time) was the WD 1.5TB HDD I picked up for Frys the other day (OEM model no cables or box) was being recognized by BIOS, WD Diagnostic Program but not in "Computer". Searched online and was able to find it in "Disk Management" and formatted it. Working like a champ now

I did have one scare when I woke up at 4am and realized the computer was powered off completely even though I had left it on when I was awake. Turned out I had a hibernation error so I set it to never sleep or hibernate which I had my previous computer set at.

Case fans and CPU fan are set at medium and CPU, MB and RAM temps are all 30 C and below Not even that loud either, even when the case fans are on full blast. Just a nice quiet hummmm if that lol

 

AMD just released their new CPU's this week.

Newegg.com - AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz 8MB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8150FRGUBOX

 

Out of stock already too haha

 

w00t I like those stories.

 

Congrats, enjoy the sick system. Overclock the beast!

 

Thanks guys!! I'm loving it so far, 2sec's to load Photoshop, around 20sec's Windows startup and that USB 3.0.....WOW!! Lol

Probably start playing with overclocking soon, my RAM came with a XMP profile and I noticed my turbo mode changed to 4.2ghz when I switched it to the XMP profile. I hear some people are running stable at 5ghz not sure how common that is though.

 

Well didn't think I was going to go water/liquid cooling for awhile, but I picked up the Corsair H80 today at Fry's hahaha

For anyone interested, its on sale at Fry's for $79.99 Only reason I got right now.

 

speaking of overclocking anyone have any good links for tutorial?

 

+1 started searching around but if anyone has any reputable links

 

there is going to be a lot of dissapointed bulldozer owners. that proc is is equivalent to an i5-2500k which is 80$ cheaper than the bulldozer.
