Turtlebread 07/16/20 10:51:58 AM #1:	Its 4 years old, GTX1070 i5 7600. Even nowadays people never recommend more than 550W. I let a PC shop put together the parts list so I guess I deserve this. --- https://imgur.com/yCW15Zn <cite>Turtlebread posted [p:942184731] in I don'...

BeyondWalls 07/16/20 10:59:46 AM #2:	It probably didnt. Notice most PC Parts lists come out estimating like 300 watts usage. And everyone recommends a 600 watt power supply. You know, for head room. --- END OF LINE <cite>BeyondWalls posted [p:942184991] in I don'... [t:78850471]...</cite> <quote>It probably didnt.

chrono625 07/16/20 11:02:58 AM #4:	I mean, its not going to hurt your PC having a 750w rated supply. but its recommended because of you decide to add a beefier card or more devices, lights, fans or drives it adds up. so its better to have and not need than to need and not have. --- https://imgur.com/Rqk1DYV - Super Bowl XXI/XXV/XLII/XLVI Champions - NY Giants Eli Manning SB tracker: 2/2 Superbowls 2/2 SBMVP's <cite>chrono625 posted [p:942185097] in I don'...
