Hello guys,

Once again I need your support just to confirm whether the Corsair TX650 V2 PSU will be able to power up 2x GTX 760 into SLI mode.

More details:

CPU AMD FX 6300 Stock speed (OCing later)
1TB HDD (I won't use SSD for now)
8Gb 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance
ASRock EXTREME3 AMD970 Mobo
A DVD Room
Cooler Master V8 CPU cooler

I appreciate your support.

Altimus

That PSU can handle 2 reference GTX760 along the rest of your setup ( versions with custom cooler/board consume over 200w during full load, while ones with reference plastic cooler consume just 170w ). But, first of all, your motherboard doesn't support SLI.

Converters exist. :D

More than enough power, you will just need to convert some of the cabling.

Not SLI compatible board as said above.

Unless you want to use Molex to 6 pins, which I wouldn't suggest ever using unless you desperately need it for some display, I simply would not recommend using two 760's on it, despite it having enough amps on the 12V rail. Most people look at brand and amps on the 12V rail, but you have to look sort of further than that.

If that were the case, any one bad experience should deter someone from buying it. So most good products should not be bought based off one user's complaint?

Mine worked fine. But it's not the same product as the one mentioned in that thread. I bought mine back in March.

And again, here you are saying that its fine because its worked FINE for you. I would not risk it. If corsair/seasonic did not put 4 6 pins on the power supply, it was likely either to save costs (More reason probably not to do it, although seasonic aren't ones to cut costs, nor are corsair), or its just not designed to have two graphics cards on it. I'm not saying it won't work, it'll most likely work, but if you can avoid this risk, especially when it comes to the power supply, I would rather spend $100 on a new one than possibly another $500 on new graphics cards or new equipment.

Fair enough. But if the PSU was already bought, then buying a new one is not cost-effective. Yes; it worked fine for ME. That is not to say it will be fine for everyone. Of course, I can only speak from personal experience. But the thread that you pointed to isn't exactly a review of a product, but a user feedback. Most people swear that all Rosewill-branded PSU are bad. But that's not true anymore. So only proper reviews should be considered when judging a product's capabilities.
