Recommended Power Supply for Titan X in SLI

Justfortrolls · Mar 26, 2015

Right now I was looking at getting an 850w platinum certified but I really don't think that's enough. What wattage should I get? A specific model would be nice as well.

Too much actually. Nvidia is saying 250W a piece. Unless you have another 350W of load it will be fine.

Platinum is a bit much as well, not that it matters compared to $2000 worth of GPU, but gold certified is a huge price difference. Talking a percent or two in efficency gains.

The EVGA G2 850w is an excellent power supply and you can get it for a very good price, and its enough power for your rig. You will probably be fine with the 750w.

Per this site:
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm
Nvidia recommended wattage is 850 watts with at least 2 x 6 pin and 2 x 8 pin (or 2 6+2pin) PCI-e power connections.
Nucolos has suggested an excellent PSU in that power range.

Depends on the rest of the system really. A non-overclocked i7-4790k, some fans, and an SSD would have pretty minimal requirements.

This is the build. It says I'm definitely in the green for wattage but I just want to double check.

Expect 100c or even more!

(Cpu cooler)

Bartix111 mentioned it: you need a CPU cooler. For air cooling these are top line, and expensive, but cool really well:

Also good, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, and is probably plenty for a non-OC'd 5930:

Or go with an All In One closed loop cooler from any number of makers.
All these should be researched on pcpartpicker as you may find better prices.

If you scroll to the bottom, you will see the cooler. It's a Swifttech H240-X. I probably seemed like an idiot for a second lol

O.k. it is now near the top, but doesn't appear to have been added into your total $ yet and there is the warning that there is an incapatability- no cooler. Update it if you want., but the build looks wonderful. It is almost identical to one on my wishlist.

Ok glad we cleared that up. Sorry I can't directly reply to you, as I'm on mobile. Pc part picker just doesn't like it If you don't use a listed cooler. I'm going to start ordering parts soon so fingers crossed everything works.

You are spending that much money on the pc and only 30 bucks on the keyboard and mice?? Damn, at least get a corsair m45 mouse...And dont forget to pick a solution.
