450watts minimum?
Im guessing pretty soon we will all have watercooling.. cause thats where the gaming industry is headed.
The PlayStation4 will have a radiator and everything, with a Quad Core Cpu
Its going to happen everytime something new comes out. It gets hotter, and more expensive then the last one... then fades away, and another comes
I guess its not all that bad... for the people that have plenty of $$$
Actually, as processing is refined, things get cooler and less power-hungry. For example, compare a P4's heat production and power consumption to that of a Core 2 Duo.
I also disagree that the gaming market is headed towards watercooling. There is a niche market that you could consider 'enthusiasts' that would purchase water cooling. However, this does not mean that if you are a very active gamer, you must get watercooling.
