The processor is rated 220W but the ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard says it supports up to 140W processor. Will it achieve max performance?

I seem to have no problem on this same motherboard with the CPU. There is a hot fix out there for it.

Yes they have a bios update to allow the use of the 9590 and it's 220w requirement. Make sure if you buy a 9590 to also buy an AIO water cooler because this will not run on air. It gets extreamly hot. I suggest buying a corsair h100i.

Yes, I think so. If you look at the clock speeds, it wi within 10% or the top GHz.But all those processors have power ratings of 90-100 Watts, while the 6700 is only 65Watts, So, 10% less speed, 33% less power. I have a big CPU cooler with a 120mm fan turning slowly, it is nearly silent.

Yes, but I'm bemused you are more interested in the sticker than the performance of this cpu!. For the record, I just 'upgraded' from my trusty FX9590 and Asus Formula Z to this 4790K and Asus Z97WS mobo which cost me £500 and has given me nothing but hassle. Check out my Amazon review 'over-hyped, over-priced and a pain in the neck'.

It works just fine with my 220w PSU but of course, I don't have a fancy setup. One hard drive, one cd/rw drive, quad-core processor, two sticks of ram (4gb), etc. So I would say that as long as you have a modest build, you can cut it with 200w but I would recommend 220w to be safe. Of course, the more power you have, the more you can be at ease.

Yes, doesnt matter what Processor you have as long as you have a PCIe slot on your motherboard and a powersupply that has 2 x 8pin PCIe connectors your golden! Now, what 650w, dont just buy any brand, buy a trusted one such as Corsair, SilverStone, PCPower and Cooling, or known as PCPC , Antec has some nice ones as well.

Power ConsumptionAccording to the ASUS web site it isup to 75W (no additional PCIe power required) Sorry for being so late. Roy

Just recalling from memory, there are 4 case fan headers with PWM support and 2 CPU fan headers. If you care, you can only undervolt to 50% rather than 0% if you're not doing anything intensive.Also, in theory, yes that RAM should be supported but it's difficult to guarantee entirely. I wouldn't worry however. Just remember to change the clock speed in the BIOS otherwise it will default to either 1333 MHz or 1600MHz.

I have no experience with that cpu. I'm running the intel 4770 k at 4.2 ghz I have it looped through an asus maximus iv formula mobo so it's pushing twice the route that it is designed for. benchmark is 984 at 86 degress Celsius. I think the only better option is the koolance stand alone unit but it's pricey

This board will support up to a 125W TDP so it should be fine as long as you have the correct BIOS. Here is a link to check BIOS requirement:http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/M5A78L-M_LX_PLUS.html

Yes anything over 300W is more than enough, however i wouldn't chance it. This is probably the most unstable video card on the market. This model is notorious for blue screens after installation. Buyer Beware.

The TDP of the card is advertised as 150W, although it should be a little lower considering it can still be overclocked within it's physical power input restrictions (75W through pci-E slot + 75W from the 6-pin connector). But yeah, 150W is a safe estimate. As to the wattage required to run a system (i.e. power supply requirement) people will throw random numbers at you like 500W PSU or better, but the truth is that it all depends on the hardware you are running. I suggest you do some google search for a power calculator and do your own math and see what kind of PSU you're going to need.

Yes, very much so. The K at the end of the product number is Intel's way of signaling this. I run mine at 4.6GHZ for hours on end. Very easy to overclock. I did find and odd thing with the "enhanced speed step" used on this chip with my X79 Mobo and ASUS X79 Deluxe. Enhanced speed step came "enabled". I was getting really poor performance with parallel processing using all four cores at max demand. This was strange, it was slower then my old laptop. I then switched off enhanced speed step and it flew like crazy. It left my laptop in the dust. I now keep enhanced speed step set to "auto" or "off". Many people say speed step does not matter - enhanced speed step on this setup does make a huge difference, if you don't mind paying for the electric to run it.

This is an AMD card. I think that it can be crossfired, I see a connection near the top left of the product picture. Although I have read somewhere that you will need at least a 650W power supply.

I'm not sure, but it can't be much. I have it running in a 250w slim desktop system. Seems fast enough, but the fan noise is pretty loud if you run any sort of a game that uses the graphics.

The recommended minimum is 450w. However, my machine only uses a 192w when I'm using my my GPU at 100% on a i5 3570K. I think it will work fine on a 400w, but continuous use at 100% GPU may lead to a short life of your power supply.

Yes and check out www.overclock.net keep in mind that it is already highly overclocked and might be at the chips limits for performance. Welcome to the silicone lottery my friend. Some chips will do 1400/1800 on air @ 1.3v others will not budge past 1150/1600 no matter how much voltage you give it even under custom waterblocks. My 2 cents

ud better use a power supply more than 800w. I use a corsair 1000w supply for 4790k and this card.
