Nice review. Lots of power in such a small box.
Curious Alex..... Your team has no problem with Titan and the 500 w psu? Obviously not, or you wouldn't do it but can you share draw under load. Has to be a common question others might have. Thanks. As usual, you set the bar. |

The 500W being used in the Bolt is a single rail unit and a high output one, it can even power a GTX 690!
I'll ask the team about load/idle ratings. Thanks for the support. |

I don't know Alex, I think in the long run you gonna want something around 550w or higher, that titan under load will eat up some power combined with oc on cpu.
Just my 2 cents. Edited by DST4ME - 22 Feb 2013 at 6:48pm |

The cool factor on this is just above and beyond COOL. If this had been around when I was putting together my system, I would be having a very difficult time trying to decide what to get.

It's honestly not an issue. Plus, the Bolt is more for mainstream builds, the GTX TITAN is to show the engineering behind the system. Edited by Alex - 22 Feb 2013 at 10:17pm |
