I'm a little confused about something, and was hoping someone here had an answer. I've seen a benchmark for MSI Twin Frozr II 560Ti OC at a max of 357w usage on full load, yet I notice that it can only thoeretically draw 275w from the computer, based on the 75w PCI-E slot, and 150w for the two 6-pin connectors. How is this possible? Is Hexus (site that did the benchmark) wrong, or am I missing something?
EDIT:
It's possible that particular benchmark was done in an overclocked setting, which I assume would use more watts, but confuses me, is how this is even possible, with the power cables/motherboard only giving 225w. >.< I feel so blonde; I should know something like this, by now!
