Looking for a good PSU to sli with (Nvidia 760)

Karl_oh · Nov 8, 2014

So i have a new build planned and I have everything sorted out apart from a PSU.

I need a suggestion of a good power supply that I can use so that I can add a secondary GTX 760 in at a later date.

At the moment the specs are as follows;

i5 4690K w/ a H80i cooler
Gryphon Z97 Motherboard
HyperX Fury 2x4GB
Galaxy 2GB GTX 760
WD green 4TB

I would prefer if the power supply was modular as well. The case i will be using is a Obsidian 350D which has a max length of 180mm

i would suggest EVGA SuperNova 850w G2.

Suztera :

Is that overkill or minimum wattage for 760 sli? Looks like a decent PSU and I will check it out

Suztera · Nov 8, 2014

The 750W would still be enough but it cost the same as the 850W.

Suztera :

Well in that case an extra 100w isnt going to hurt! I will have a look at the other responses and make a decision in the next few days, it isnt urgent

Suztera · Nov 8, 2014

Note that Newegg rebate on EVGA 850W G2 will end on 11/11/14.

Suztera :

Doesnt apply to me anyway as they dont ship to Australia. I have to get it other ways

Suztera · Nov 8, 2014

Karl_oh :

Is it cheaper to import it to Australia than buying from Australia?

The EVGA Supernova 850W cost 150 AUD roughly.

Having run SLi'd 560Ti's on an old HX620w PSU I think 850w is way overkill for a pair of 760's.

Karl_oh · Nov 8, 2014

Mousemonkey :

What would be the minimum in your experience then?

Mousemonkey · Nov 8, 2014

Karl_oh :

The 760's are 170w cards the same as my 560ti's were so a good quality 650 PSU will suffice.

Karl_oh · Nov 8, 2014

How much do i need on the 12v rails though for dual way SLI?

Mousemonkey · Nov 8, 2014

About 28A just for the cards and then whatever the rest of the PC needs, hence why I said a "quality" 650w.

Karl_oh · Nov 8, 2014

Mousemonkey :

You suggesting anything particularly? Im not too good as to figuring out which PSU I should choose

Mousemonkey · Nov 8, 2014

I was just trying to point you in the right direction and stop you spending more money than you need to.

Mousemonkey :

Cheers
