the most people ever draw is 350w during game load. and that's considering you are talking about the notorious power hog that is the 580. 6xx or the 79xx chips with 28nm tech runs cooler from an architectural point of view. can you OC it to a point to make it run hot? sure push anything far enough it'll run hot. but the fact is on a stable build, you are not likely to see greater then combined TDP of the components used. TDP is not the most accurate measurement for power draw. but on average it's a good measuring stick to remind people just how little power we actually use. (and how there is almost no reason to buy a 1kw+ PSU due to ATX specification limitations

. Let's agree to agree on each others statements. Haha. =D
