So I don't have a kill-a-watt, but the Falcon just melted my 850W 80Plus Gold Seasonic. I've ordered a 1050W replacement.

To be fair, the PSU was not new, and had been powering my GPU rig for a while (and running at pretty high % utilized too).

Someone mentioned testing close to 1000/1100. Maybe cancel that 1050 and jump to 1200W just for better utilization?

Good call. Canceled the order and upgraded to the 1250W model.

i can confirm it uses that much. BUT if you have mobo connected too, you're up to the limits of a 1250. im at 1230 on a 1200. No bueno.
