Can this PSU run 280X Crossfire?

IDandT · Feb 14, 2014

Hi, my current config. is:

FX-8350
ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 990x chipset
Gigabyte 280x Windforce x3
16GB 1866
Cooler Master Evo 212
Samsung SSD 840
HDD Seagate 2TB
Aerocool Strike-X Force Army 800w 80 Plus Silver

The max PSU output for +12v line is 66A

I plan buy another 280x for Crossfire, will my PSU handle it?

Thanks

aerocool is usually on the lower end of the psu charts.

however wattage and amps are within range and the silver certification makes me want to say it would work.

Make sure your PSU has the cables required but other than that you will be absolutely fine!

For that setup I would recommend having atleast a good 850w PSU, and what you have is a mediocre 800w unit. It may work but for how long I can't say. Personally I wouldn't chance damaging the system and replace it with a higher quality psu.
