this is a really neat build
He used to work on the "Social media" team for NCIX at some point with a lady (can't remember her name). They were posting a bunch of how-to videos and stuff on the site.
Yeah, I know but even after starting his own company he still stars in their videos from time to time.
Not even close.
In this Jayz Two Cents video, he's got an overclocked 3770k, overclocked GTX 680, water cooling, 12 fans, SSDs and hard drives, LEDs, and running GPU and CPU stress tests simultaneously, and only drawing 350W from the wall.

Made me wonder, if this is less than 1600W under full load, Why do people buy over 1kW PSUs for their single CPU, single/dual GPU rigs?
I knew a few guys like that, huge hw enthusiasts, wouldn't play games seriously, just 15 minutes to test their rigs.
So maybe it wasn't sarcasm.
I wonder the feasibility of using water cooling in the next generation of consoles. HW big jumps are a big of the past, while thermal limits are a real thing now, so it would be a way to again have a good jump in graphical capabilities.
Must've been sarcasm then
In a video I was watching, he was telling a story how he was at a con, and someone came up to him and asked him what he played to which he replied he wasn't much of a gamer.
He said the guy walked away disappointed.

Why are you comparing 980s with 680's power draw?
2 OCed 980Ti alone would be around 600w

He's done with that now. They shoot his final NCIX / Netlink Daily video last week.
Dude's a beast. I hope he doesn't get burned out, lol.
- the "efficiency sweet spot" narrative is overvalued - the difference in efficiently at 50-80% is miniscule and only amounts to a handful of dollar difference per year in electricity bills, hardly worth the price difference of a more expensive larger supply
Ought there not be a moral imperative to use more efficient components even if they don't save you money simply to reduce one's footprint?
My 5820k alone draws ~100w under load when overclocked. With my 980 sli OCed (500-600w) and the rest of the components, sub 1Kw PSU's won't be cutting it.
My god the computer costs $30.000...
