Yes, I would say this is an accurate statement, at least as it relates to the processor itself. You would also want to take video consumption into the calculation, as PCIe cards can consume a significant amount over the motherboard itself...
Yeah, I'm trying to get an estimate of all components so that I can add it all up to get PS rail requirements. I'm running into some strange problems with two dual core machines (spontaneous lock ups and reboots.) I think the problem is an over worked PS (all the other components test out.)
You also want to make sure you never go above about 90% of the rail's capacity (another reason I hate dual rail setups)
It seems to me that a single rail with a total rating equivalent to the dual rails would be better - is it a cost issue, or is there some advantage to dual rails (less noise on each rail?)
