Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

Now the next point is...the PSU effeciency is rated @ 80+. I am not even using its full load capacity meaning its more likely less effecient then that. So, assuming 75% effeciency...is it correct to take 25% off the above numbers and that number is the true power draw of my PC? (obviously I know the socket sees the full numbers listed above, but Im talkin internal usage after the effeciency of the PSU is taken into affect...)

I'm not sure but I always thought the efficiency raises when not using the full potential of a PSU. So if a PSU is rated for 800W it will provide e.g. 85% efficiency at that max capacity. If less power is drawn the efficiency will raise because all the PSU components are less stressed.

@ All

Is it correct that 1.55v is the max. allowed vCore according to Intel specs?
