Is my PSU good enough for 2x 660ti's?

madboy1299 · Dec 27, 2013

Ok, I recently bought a second 660ti "evga sc edition" to go along with my Asus OC DC II 660ti. Yes, i know. MAJOR power hogs. So, i bought some cheap generic APEVIA 700watt PSU to power the Cards, My intel i5 3550, 2 180gb HDDS, a 128gb SSD, & 12gb's of vengance RAM. Now, i have the wattage, but i COMPLETELY disregarded amperage. The PSU I purchased has 2 12V Rails @23 & 20 amps. The Recommended amperage for the 660ti is 24amps. And I have 2! Will this psu kill my pc, or work like a champ? PLEASE HELP!?!?!?

Not much to go on with the Apevia psu's. Some Newegg and Youtube reviews but nothing else. I'd be leery of it considering $59+ for this unit. Otherwise 700w is about right. Get you a good Corsair/Seasonic 700w for another $50.00 and stop worrying.

Ok, I went with the Corsair 850HX 850 watt 70amp PSU. A bit overkill , but I wanted to be sure! Works amazingly, and I can easily run Water cooling, Overclocking GPU's, and my CPU. Great PSU for 130$
