Anyone got a link to an offset OC guide for X79 or is it similar to Z68?
The spec for 8-pin EPS is 4 * 12V + 4 * ground 18 AWG line. Conservatively it can safely handle 28A or 336W and probably 1.5 times that without bursting into flames. I don't think you have to worry, unless your 24/7 clock for 6 cores is 1.6V @ 5Ghz
