Power Consumption: EVGA SR-2, Dual X5680s, 4-Way GTX480 --Overclocked

Ok, with my brand new circuit installed I am able to run a true test on my system as to how much power it is using. I have found out that the power draw is more then I even first suspected!!!

A secondary question is asked to EVGA...how do they think that their SR-2 1200W PSU can power such a build as seen on the internet??? I don't think it is possible at stock settings, let alone overclocked setting. Please watch and you shall see.

Enjoy

Fucking computers? How do they work?

Isn't wall power (AC) different when converted to useable computer power (DC)? Because then the EVGA 1200W PSU would make sense, if they converted differently.

Is the sr2 any good for gameing

When would the cost of running that beast out price the cost of making it????

within few years, your power bill will worth as much as your computer...
