Dell XPS Studio, upgrade to GTX 980

[cdawall]

My 5820k @4.4ghz, 5 ssd's and 2 7950@1150 1.3v pulls 600w at the wall under gaming load through a 80 silver. You are telling me a 460w can't handle a 6700k@stock and a 980@stock? Lol

As i said before, did you see that DELL is offering XPS 8900 with a Special Edition ?
It comes with a GTX 980 running on the standard 460W PSU!!!

cdawall, did you overclock your two 7950s and your 5820k?​

These are 24/7 settings on my rig. Stock is like 850 on my GPU's the BIOS is a little modified to say the least.

Sometimes i think people are wasting lots of money with the more expensive PSUs, because their specs are not so demanding indeed...

I had my current 1200w for a different rig that pulled about what it maxed out at.

Resurrecting this thread...
I'm currently running an EVGA GTX 1080 Founders Edition

Despite the Intel cpu stock cooler on the I7 6700, adding the heat generate by the card (82º C), the CPU is reaching 70º C (LOAD).

The 460W PSU was running pretty fine, but on LOAD it was a little bit noisy, in fact it was the only concern.
I talked to DELL support and i won't lose my warranty replacing the PSU.
I chose the COOLER MASTER G750M, and i never reach 50% of load, so it is running almost dead silent (120mm fan from PSU at 800 rpm).

Thank you all folks.
