Now i have XFX TS Series 550w power supply gold certifed im running 2 760 sli i check the power of my computer it 480 to 490w full load it is safe ? thank you

The recommendation for 2 gtx 760 is 700 watts or more. Im sure if you regulate your wattage you should be safe.

IDontUnderstand · Mar 23, 2014

It's not safe.
According to http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_760_sli_review,4.html
GTX 760 SLI can draw an average of 343 watts, while peaking at 449 watts. In other words, when your GPU is being pushed really hard, the CPU better stay around 50W. However, I think both of us know that is not possible unless you're using low power CPU, which will more than likely bottleneck the GTX 760 SLI.

I recommend SilverStone Strider Essential 700W.

So you'r saying its more then 490w ?

IDontUnderstand · Mar 23, 2014

Yes, it could go well over 490W if the applications require it.

The Dude · Mar 23, 2014

no it's not safe at all, i guess the only reason your compoments are not damaged is because you're using a quality PSU, but it's not gonna resist for too long

Saif Seofe · Mar 23, 2014

Well you big thank to all of you guys i still have 10 days to return my power supply i will return it but i have another question can i find 80$ power supply that can run my 2 760s thank you

IDontUnderstand · Mar 23, 2014

The PSU that I've suggested above only cost $74.99 from Amazon.

Just curious, but doesn't that SilverStone one that you've just posted look like that one that I've suggested?......

I wouldn't go with Cougar, not a very good PSU brand.

I mean, are you looking for color? Cuz all PSU have standard dimensions to it, so there's no say in shape and sizes.

Saif Seofe · Mar 23, 2014

Look i have red led inside my pc and Msi z87-gd65 and i was think the sliver stone will ugly inside the case lol

IDontUnderstand · Mar 23, 2014

Here a thread of request for red LED PSU http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/309290-28-quality-cable-management

Trust me on that it won't make the system ugly if you use a non-red PSU. PSU usually sits on the bottom where it's very hard to see. In addition, if you really want to, you can just paint the outside case of that PSU. It's just metal, so it's not going to damage anything as long as you don't spill the paint inside.

I still recommend the SilverStone that I've suggested earlier with the 80+ Bronze rating.
