A vanilla evga 670 needs 500watts and or a 30amp 12v.

Linking to Newegg is hardly research smile.gif On the Silverstone site the previous model ST45SF lists the 670 and 680 explicitly as compatible GPUs. Anandtech did an overclock test of all the release-day 670s with an overclocked i7-3960X and saw maximum draw of under 350W for the whole system (remember i5-3570K takes is much less consumption than the i7-X series). http://www.anandtech.com/show/5818/nvidia-geforce-gtx-670-review-feat-evga/18

Moreover, since the GTX670 only has two 6-pin PCIe sockets, it won't draw more than 225W (75W from the motherboard and 2x75 PCIe). That's less than 19 amps. It leaves 18 amps for the rest of the system.

Here is some research. How about what the design manufacture specifications are. Otherwise known as Nvidia, argue that. You know better right? LOL

Im not saying it won't work. What I'm saying is any time you try to under cut the designed spec for a computer system. You put that whole system at risk. Enough said!!!

I always design 50 watts over, not under.

I'd prefer at least 50W over what's required too. But what's required is nowhere near 500W.

You think Nvidia has any idea of what CPU you're using, what other hardware you have, whether or not your power supply is rated for peak or continuous wattage, or if it can really do what the label says anyway? It's obviously in their best interests to give a conservative estimate. They're not assuming that everybody out there has power supplies of decent quality and honestly rated, like the 450W we're talking about here (probably).

Nvidia's GTX 670 Power Boost target is 141W. Of course it can get higher than that, but it's surely not drawing over 200W unless overclocked significantly, which is a figure that holds up easily in reviews that isolate graphics card power consumption from that of the rest of the system:

I just did argue it, but you clearly didn't click the Anandtech link or think your response through.

The 500W you are quoting is not "design specs" at all, you're quoting retail advice for a whole system. They are assuming worst case scenario of someone with a poor quality PSU, older model high consumption CPU, loads of hard drives, and whatever other expansion cards. This retail advice is for people who don't know how to add up the numbers for themselves; most people have no idea about the power draw of the components inside their PCs. Nvidia just don't want people to RMA because they tried to run the card in their underpowered Alienware rig. Or the older PSUs with enough total power, but not enough on the particular random 12V rail the customer happens to plug in.

The actual design spec of the GTX670 is 170W thermal (14 amps). Edit: mikeaj is right, the reference model is even lower, but the overclock target is 170W. As I said above, has connectors only sufficient for 225W electrical (19 amps) anyway. The SF45SF-G will deliver 37 amps on the 12V rail. So you've got plenty left over.
