I have an asus gtx 970 and i want sli it.
I want to know that will my corsair vs 650w psu enough for the sli??

RealHardTech recommend 750W from a good quality power supply. For 2 x gtx970's the Corsair VS is not a good quality power supply. See http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886 - get one from tier 1 or 2 eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017 (mine)

It's slightly below the recommended 700 watt threshold but my guess is that you should be fine. Both those cards combined have a TDP of 450 watts, and that's the maximum load that it probably wouldn't unless benchmarking. Verify that your existing power supply has another two 6 pin connectors of course.

Yash2000 :

You need 750w because as time passes PSU's capacitors are getting worse (aging).
Also corsair vs series are notorious for being unreliable i suggest something from the list that the guy on top said.(tier 1,2)

My pc specs are =
Amd fx 8350 (4ghz)
Gigabyte 990fxa ud3
Asus strix gtx 970
Corsair vs 650w
Wd cavior blue 1tb hdd
Kingston hyperx fury 8gb 1866 mhz ram
Cooler master elite 311
Cooler master hyper 212x

You need to save a bit more and get http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-s12g-750-750-watts-psu/p/itmduu8wvhuw9pna

Yash2000 · Jun 16, 2015

Will any of these 2 work?
Corsair cs 750w and corsair cx 750

Dropy · Jun 16, 2015

Yash2000 :

I think cx is ok

Yash2000 · Jun 16, 2015

Coraair cx 750w?

i7Baby · Jun 16, 2015

They are both tier 3 PSUs. Not good enough quality for 2 x gtx970s.

Bossyfins · Jun 16, 2015

Just get the oine i7 recommended. Unless you want to destroy your system, buy the seasonic

Yash2000 · Jun 17, 2015

Hows corsair rm 750w?

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2015

See http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-l... - get one from tier 1 or 2

What tier is the RM on?

Yash2000 · Jun 17, 2015

The rm 750w is in tier 3 and the seasonic one is in tier 2

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2015

So - which one would I recommend?

Yash2000 · Jun 17, 2015

I think the seasonic one is good cause its in second tier and its cheaper than the rm 750w

i7Baby · Jun 17, 2015

That's great - buy it!

Yash2000 · Jun 17, 2015

Thanks for your help

Yash2000 · Jun 17, 2015

Will cooler master thunder 700w work?

Bossyfins · Jun 17, 2015

No. Just buy the SeaSonic. Unless you want your system to potentially become damaged, then don't get it.

Save yourself the hassle and get the seasonic

Yash2000 · Jun 18, 2015

Ok thanks again
