Will my computer blow up if I do this?

eegan · Jul 9, 2013

Hi I am thinking of getting a 2nd Asus Radeon 7850 but I don't know if it would handle it very well with my power supply.

Power Supply:

Cooler Master 725W eXtreme Power2 dual +12V

No it will not blow up. A 600W is the min. recommended for 2 cards. The 725W has plenty of headroom to run your system.

yes it will work though every CM eXtreme power PSUs usually fails ~100 watts less than whats labeled. but 2 7850s and most any set up overclocked will be far under 600 watts.

I concur with the previous posts. Unless you're running LGA 2011, you can take your whole system to its max OC and still be good on that PSU.

I feel the need to post on here, just because of that title. Yes your system will be able to handle that just fine. What processor are you running in case of bottlenecks?

Intel i5 3570k

Yeah thats fine, you will be able to run everything fine with the xfire.
