New on-line PSU calculator

[burebista]

Yes I know most of them are crappy and I'm not a big fan of on-line PSU calculators, but this one surprise me.
Pretty close to my power needs, in fact the result on site is identical with my consumption from wall measured by a Kill-A-Watt device: 136W in full-load with ABIT KN9, AM2 X2 3800+, BFG 7900GS OC, 2 sticks of RAM, 1 HDD, 1 DVD-RW, 1 PCI card, 1 case fan, 80% M-12 500 efficiency.
My real PC needs are 136W x 0.8 = 109W, but it's pretty close.

Hmmmm
This calculator said I could get by with a "generic" 705w PSU 36.8A@+12v
and a "recommended" 408W PSU 29.6A@+12v.

But when I SLI'ed 8800GTX's, it went to "generic" 955w PSU 50.1A@+12v
and a "recomended" 558w PSU 40.8A@+12v

With my benchmarking configuration it recommends me:

Recommended PSU wattage for generic brand PSU:1165w
Recommended 12V combined amps for generic brand PSU:61.2A

Recommended PSU wattage for decent brand PSU:684w
Recommended 12V combined amps for decent brand PSU:50.3A

I wonder how much a "generic" 1165w PSU goes for

Is it me, or do these guys love Antec, check out the recomended list

Interesting. The wattage ratings seem to be really weird though. Venice 3000+ @ 1.66v and 3.0ghz uses half the power of an e6600 @ 4.0? (73w as opposed to 149w) I doubt it...

This seems to be the best of the "psu calculators" but it's still a bit off. recommends 414w / 30a for my single 6600gt system. Far better than the extreme outervision crap of 650w and no amperage rating..

The overclocking part is way off. My E6600 at 3.6 GHz takes almost twice as much as this says.

Non-overclocked looks much better than that Xtreme PSU calculator.

It does seem to have a few issues updating the output with new data. When I put the same data in, including overriding the default CPU wattage to the full TDP, I get the same output from the overclocking section as with the Xtreme calculator, though.

Hmmm. I would have loved to see what this place would recommend for my dual Xeon system. LOL
