Power in and power out????corsair link

[matsamas]

Hello folks. Searched everywhere even on corsair forums but i didnt found a clue about this.
I am using corsair axi seriers 860watt 80+platinum psu which has a usb dongle since is digital power supply and under corsair link/power tab i can see some power draws but i dont underestand this.

Power in max:532 watt
Power out max:498 watt.

So what does it mean?
I draw 532w but i use only 598watt and the rest are lost
or
i am draw the totall 532+498=1030watt?
And as you see here if the second is correct i am pulling 1030watt on a 860watt psu.
I saw this usage while playing bf4 on ultra,borderless,mantle, v-sync off,on r9 290 tri-x oc crossfire
and i7 3770k 4.5ghz.

I went on this online site where you put in your build and m,easures your wattage need and i saw 790watt-it reccomended me 860watt like i currently own and it was 790watt under 100%gpus usage and 90% cpu usage but on bf4 i was nowhere that close.

Explain me plz cuz i dont wanna blow my machine and the psu is 1 month old only.

all i found is this

There are many advantages to having a digital PSU, but the important thing here is that the various signals that get processed by the DSP are available to view in real time via Corsair Link. These data points include efficiency, the amount of AC power coming from your wall outlet into the PSU, the amount of DC power being sent to your systems components and real time voltage readings from each of the PSU rails. Being digital, the information provided within Corsair Link will be more accurate than other software, or even BIOS readings.

but if 532 is what i am getting from the wall and 498 is getting in my system then thats kinda low for 2 r9 290-tri-x oc in crossfire plus the other stuff. i have totally 7 fans 120mm(3 of them with leds) and 3x140mm fans (all 3 with leds) ovverclocked cpu+xmp on my ram+temp monitor-fan controller...
too low usage guys....dunno...
my corsair h100i leds died....all of them...first the blue-then i changed psu...with the new one i lost the rest 2,green and red.
Jesus...

You are pulling 532watts from the wall socket.
Your system is using 498 watts. The difference is lost to heat in the process of converting from AC to DC.
Did you enable Crossfire in the Catalyst control center?
If you installed the cards and did not enable crossfire, the second card is not being used. Which means it will not use power when gaming.

When a power supply dies it can destroy parts or all of your components. You are lucky it was just the led lights that got burnt out.

Crossfire is enabled. Confirmed cuz i runned benchmarks and isaw the scaling from single r9 290 to crossfire. Re-checked right now and it is enabled. My psu is fine atm and healthy. I thing is h100i problem that my leds died and not my psu. But 498watt for the components listed above is way too low. the reccomendation on r9 290 crossfire was 1000w.
