I finished my homework before purchasing... every guide I read recommended 150W, and honestly I'm already at 125W with the default BIOS and settings. It makes sense when you think about it—with some tricks, it should hit 150W easily. They all mentioned needing a powerful cooler too, and water cooling was suggested, but I don't have water in my PC. No, no, no ;D I installed a full MX4 setup, that's my "cooling system."
a bit more goes a long way. Plus, max4 isn't great at conducting electricity, you know.
