Hey Guys.......So I just got a ASUS ROG Matrix GTX 780 Ti Platinum
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-rog-matrix-gtx-780-ti-platinum.b2873
As you see in the spec, the suggest PSU is 600w, and the card has a TDP of 250w.
My PSU is a Cooler Master Masterwatt Lite 600w 230v rated 80 Plus (I am in Germany, so the 230v)
So I put the card in and connected it..got green lights on the 2 8 Pin connectors..but the PC wouldnt start up!
Obviously not getting enough power...but I am using the recommended PSU minumum.
So whats the problem here?? Do power supply manufacturers lie about their products? Even when it says its a 600w
power supply....isnt it?? Or is there some fudging going on here?
How much power do I really then in order to get this beautiful ASUS ROG Matrix GTX 780 Ti Platinum to work andn power
the rest of my PC?
ASRock 970 Extreme 4 Motherboard
Phenom II x4 955 BE
12 GB RAM
CPU cooler
4 led fan coolers (eventually I would like to install a few more.
Any POWER experts out there??
