1000 Watt Power Supply
Since the D5400XS was developed to satisfy the highest demands, it requires a brawny power supply with good and plentiful cables. Intel recommends using a PSU with at least 1000 Watts. Yes, you read correctly – 1 kilowatt.
| Power Rating | 1000 W | 1400 W |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| Processors | 2 | 4 |
| GPUs | 2 | 4 |
The two 150 Watt processors can only be supplied with sufficient power through 8-pin connectors. Buyers intending to overclock their 8-core system should use both of these 8-pin connectors while a single one should suffice for normal operation at default clock speeds.
Only very few power supplies available in the market come with two 8-pin power cables and connectors. For our tests, we used the Enermax Galaxy EGA1000EWL, which is rated at 1000 Watts. This PSU features two 8-pin power connectors as well as two 6-pin PCI-Express connectors
