Have to read the caption on the chart that states Power consumption -"Full System"
Then have to factor in power supply efficiency, an unknown in this case
The CPU alone is nowhere near 150 watts
Edit; I like the 300ET but it wouldn't be my choice for 24/7 activity
According to reviews the TX950 has 6 pcie connectors

Been a couple of years, but I had a fancy psu that showed between 50 and 60 watts combined on the minor rails ( I7-930 @ 3.8 / 3 x 2 DDR3 @ 1.65v / GTX460TOP / 1 HD / 1 OD / MCP355 and 6 fans)
The 3.3v used the greater portion of that
Software voltage readings ?
I imagine that the cpu would go pop at 4.16v
For the psu, get a DMM and manually test

Any decent 550w would be plenty for either future card, 750w if you are going to double them up
Modular, in most cases means you use only the cables you need
In the US ?
This would be my choice for a single card

Good deal on this 750...
^This
I'm always amazed by the crowd that yaps about dual connector cables being stupid, " a 6 pin only carries 75 watts " :\
My oc'd GTX570 is powered by a dual connector cable
Safe, yes
You have 6 pcie cables
Use 2 of the cables with the splitters to connect to all 4 cards, then a cable for each card, that way you are not using a splitter alone to power any of the cards ( don't think it would cause a problem if you did )
Don't understand why you would need to think about voltage requirements, plug in a sata connector and you're done ( there's 5v in there, as well as 3.3 and 12v )
600 watts , rails aren't additive but lets break the rules, 22 amps @ 12v :rolleyes:
575 watts , single 14a / 12v rail, really ?
No offence, but I'd toss them both
They [ AMD ] reccomend a 450 watt psu with 1 x 6 pin

No mention of amps
An Nvidia GTX650Ti has a 400 watt reccomendation...
Yes
Can find a review of the 400w here

No little "warranty void if removed sticker" on these, so I figured I'd give a look
Seeing all Teapos wasn't to pleasing, but hey it is supposed to be the "entry level" line
