It is all very well to be running a system within the spec of that PSU. However would you run your motor car at 80% of max revolutions all the time. Most of us would not. It is pretty much the same with PSU's you want the capacity to max it out when needed and to get to the 80% of rated power. Ideally your 24/7 system should be at 65% of rated power. You need to have the leeway to ensure those moments of need. 🙂

If you're not OC'ing at all, then your present PSU may do it until you upgrade...
However, why one would get such a system and do not OC it?! So, in long term, I would listen to the advices and upgrade the PSU...

Well, that is a very true statement. Let's go on to a slightly different question then: I would like to get a new PSU in the future. So the question would be then, Would I be able to run the Matrix in Xfire for a while until I get another PSU put in? Or is there a snowballs chance in hell that it just won't run it at all?

Well, like I said, my plans ARE to upgrade the PSU. However, I just want to know if it would handle the cards AS IS FOR NOW. Thanks for the input guys.
