That is what is posted in Forums--Opinions--Like it or not. I did not BTW make fun of Overclocking Forums. You right I have two degrees in Electronics and have worked for EDS, AT&T, Lucent and Avaya. I also worked a great deal with their power systems, the kind that take up a small room. I also was certified as a power technician. So do not put me down as you have no idea who you are dealing with. There are rules here, I suggest you follow them. I will not ever be responding to any of your posts./
First, you're not a moderator, so please don't tell me to follow the rules. You will never catch me telling someone to follow the rules because like you, I'm not a moderator.
Anyway, it doesn't matter to me if you respond to my posts. All that matters is that GarySawyers (the Thread Starter) receives the help he came here for. No, that does not mean that we should recommend a quality-made 750W power supply to power a system that only has two 670s and an i7-970 at stock. Good grief. A quality-made 550W is more than enough for that. No, it would not run hot, it would not be loud, and it would not have a short life. If you think that it
would run hot, loud, and have a short life, then you don't know as much about PSUs as you think. We're not talking about wimpy 550W power supplies here!
I apologize for being that blunt, but I feel like I don't really have a choice at this point because no one is really listening.
Here, I'll do you one better than asking you to talk to the PSU experts on Overclock.net. Ask Jonny Gerow ("Jonny Guru") or Oklahoma Wolf over on
JonnyGuru.com. Ask them what they would recommend to power a system that has two GTX 670s and an i7-970 in it - both at stock. Tell them that you think a 750W is the best recommendation and tell them
why you think that. These people are the experts of experts on power supplies, so they will set you straight. If you talk to them, tell them that this is a "pre-built" (it's an Alienware system), so I sincerely doubt he will be doing any overclocking!
