I know 500W power supply can easily handle 1080 founders edition. How about non-fe?
I really don't want to change my power supply.

The 1080 non-FE (the EVGA branded blower card) is the same card under the hood. There might be a slightly different power draw due to the different fans, but that won't be more than a couple of watts.
If your PSU can handle a 1080 FE, it can handle EVGA's 1080 blower.

Thank you so much. I just saw the description of asus strix 1080 here: The power consumption is up to 300W, a little bit scared

500 watts will be okay for any of the 1080's at stock or small OC but no room for much more really. But the 300 watt consumption ASUS claims with the strix may be a bit much for your PSU with all other components considered.

Well, if we knew what CPU and other components you have, we could more easily tell whether your PSU is enough or not. Though I can tell you, I have an undervolted i7 4790K (1.175V @ 4.4 GHz), 2x 8GB G.SKILL DDR3 modules, one SSD and two HDDs and my 550W PSU will be more than enough for a graphics card that needs 300W. CPU and other components without the graphics card need about 150-175W with full load of the system.
You just need to have a good PSU that delivers what it says. By the way, I have a be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 550W PSU.

My PSU is 500W. Here are my components: I5-4590 3.3GHz, 2x4G DDR3 modules, one HDD. I think 300W consumption is impossible for asus strix 1080, but I may still need to change the PSU

So, what we have here:
i5-4590: Maximum of about 90W (TDP 84W)
2x DDR3 modules: 6-10W, so 10W
Motherboard: Will have about 40W
HDD: 10W
So, we have about 150W with maximum load for your system without the graphics card.
150W + 300W = 450W. If your PSU can deliver the 500W it promises, you won't have any problem at all, even with full load for a longer period of time.

Yes, non-reference boards may draw a lot more power than reference boards. More VRMs, more power connectors, more power draw. How much isn't certain for the majority of custom 1080 boards yet as they haven't been reviewed like the stock Nvidia 1080 board.

WOW thanks! My PSU is corsair cx500m, I think it should be fine

This is true. I ran my configuration thru the EVGA Power Meter utility http://www.evga.com/power-meter/And it said a 650watt was sufficient for 2xsli 1080's if I didn't OC. If I did OC (which is same as SC and custom models) then I would need a 750watt PS.

Yeah I understand. But 300W is toooo scary
