This is very interesting, thanks! I used the calculator and got a load Wattage of 222W, which seems crazy low.Pictus wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 4:25 pm

If you plan to use all 8 cores at 4.7 GHz also set the voltage to 1.3v in the calculator.
(But the CPU may only need +- 1.23 for 4.7GHz on all cores)
With the watts value from outervision, look at the PSU review for the efficiency curve
One thing I noticed when comparing the 550, 650, 750 and 850 version of the RMX is that the fan seems to only kick in at much higher Watts with the 650x. So at my load wattage the 650x would be silent, whereas the others wouldn't.
Not sure if that's a good thing or not though, as surely the fan not kicking in means my system would be hotter?
