Do they usually overrate it?
Well, the results you get can vary depending on certain selections you make; they can make the estimated power consumption to be very bloated, or slightly less than the actual.

But, which PSU calculator did you use? Was it this one? The one I linked is generally thought of as the best one, however, they're all just guides.

Yep.I redid it, and it now says 670w. When did I get 700w lol.

I also set it for 4ghz overclock, but I'm guessing an i7 at 4ghz isn't really stable. For a practical stable overclock I think I'd reach 3.6ghz, and I set vcore to 2 lol

No, I don't have that luxury. It is impossible to raise it any higher due to my keyboard tray. It has to stay where it is.

After using the Pro version of the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator a few different ways, I'm rather confident that the StealthXtream 700W will be able to Crossfire the 4890 without any trouble.

I had a Phenom II 9950 BE OC'd to 3.2Ghz, 4gb's of RAM, 1xSATA HDD,1xSATA DVD, 5 fans, and 2x4850+4870 in 3xCF running in my rig with GameXstream 700W PSU.. with no problems whatsoever. I also tried OC-ing 4850's to ~700mhz to keep 'em close to 4870 core, worked fine too. PSU didn't even get hot!

Those 9950 phenoms had some serious wattage!!! 4890 actually doesn't use much more power than 4870... and 2x4850 use ~400+W (and keep in mind thats the power consumption of the whole system...)

I'd say 700W would be quite enough... unless u plan on having 10 HDD's

And OMG TwoCables... keyboard tray?!?! Thats for noobs

Today I modded a switch into a bay cover so I can turn the fans off when I'm not doing anything to stress the system, or when i want to watch a movie or something...

I'll post pics when I get my hands on a camera.

That's right, a picture of a single rocker switch; I do plan to mod in some more stuff on the same panel. The switch looks lonely

i have seen a lot of people overclocking i7's to 4 ghz but more go 3.5 to 3.8 and claim its stable.
now you stuck it!! :P


@twocables you can't put a piece of plywood under it or a little 2x4 under the feet to lift it a few inches more?
