cx600 powersupply graphics cards gtx 960 ftw 4gb sli

Gregory Elder · Jan 25, 2016

I recently just got the AsRock Extreme6 motherboard, and wanted to buy another 960 ftw 4gb in sli. Will my cx600 support the sli. I don't really care about recommendations about upgrading my PSU. I just need to know how well will the 960 sli work with the cx600

What are the rest of your specs?

I wouldn't use a CX600 to SLI.

Which CX 600 is it. There are two different ones, both with a poor amount of amps on the 12V rail.

CX is only rated to 30C...very unsuitable for this task.

If it does work it won't last long.

CX600 — 80 PLUS® Bronze

Okay. Realistically, it is a 550W power supply, not a 600W. Then as Damric said, rated at 30C, so expect derating at temperatures above. Two GTX 960s should be somewhere in the 275-300W territory. Factor in the CPU and other parts, you are looking at, under worst conditions, 450-475W being drawn from the 12V rail. So yes, you can run it on it, but I wouldn't recommend doing so.

Arighty, turkey3 what would you recommend for a PSU that doesn't break $150?
