Corsair H50 with the pump off a molex connector - dual fan, the corsair as exhaust and a high power, high flow intake
1055T 3.9GHz (or 4.2GHz depending what i'm doing) was at 1.65vcore 1.5v NB, now at 1.5vcore 1.4v NB
4GB 2x2GB DDR3 1600 CL9 1.5v @ 1488 CL8 1.5v
GTX 260 Black -overclocked shaders, GT 240 -overclocked Shaders (was running a GTS 250 secondary when i did the previously mentioned testing, which draws much more than the 240)
2 additional 120mm case fans, high flow, one 200mm fan
SATA DVDRW
Seagate Barracuda 250GB + Seagate Momentus XT 500GB
USB2 card reader
usb mouse+keyboard
displaying 1440x900
all idle: 220W with the TX750, CPU load: 410W, + both GPU load(folding @home): 600W
the OCZ 600w idles around 350w, cpu load 550w, gpu load around 750w, shuts off over 820w
and Gomeler has had a HX1000 pulling 1400w and said this about my 600w pulling that much:
remember that the PSU is rated at 600w DC so you have to factor in the inefficiencies. 750w AC * 80% = 600w DC.
which is why it can pull way more at the wall than it is rated
and nate has had a HX620 pulling 800w
also, just going from 3.8GHz to 4.13GHz, my 1055T went from pulling 500w to 600w at the wall with the OCZ unit
