Will Evga G2 850W Handle this config for at least 5 years?

stavrosmast · Feb 29, 2016

Can a 850w psu handle this config?

2x 980 Ti at max air OC
i7-4790K stock
2x8gb 2400mhz
2x7200rpm hdd
1xssd 512gb
1x little case led

Also will x8/x8 be a bottleneck for the 980ti's?

Lastly if i have this config and the psu breaks down when it is under warranty and it kills one 980 ti . Will they give me another psu and money for the 980 ti or nothing?

Personally I say two 980 Ti's are perfectly matched to a tier 1 850 watt power supply. Some people I know feel more comfortable with 1,000 watts, but I've never had a problem running mine on a 850 model. If your PSU dies, EVGA will replace it. Whether they will replace a damaged GPU due to their PSU.... you should speak to them directly with that question. I doubt they will confirm that. It's the kind of thing that you'd have to speak to a supervisor for special circumstances. But I also feel that it's very unlikely to happen.

With that said, I recommend that you step up to the EVGA P2 850, because it's only $10 more on NewEgg US. I feel like it's one of those might-as-well situations

in my country evga g2 850w costs 170€ and i cant buy from amazon/newegg. And I already own the evga g2 850w

With a high quality PSU , LIKE THE G2 850 , that's plenty of power for SLI.

You need to register on the EVGA site when you receive the PSU to get the FULL Warranty coverage.

Thanks Blackbird

I bought it from a local store and firstly it was faulty and i gave it back to the store,they gave it to evga and i got a new one. Since i bought it from a store the store had to register not me right? (from greece)

stavrosmast! I didn't even pay attention to who I was responding to. You're a staple around here. Yeah man, go for the G2 850. It's a great PSU. I'm hoping that my future Pascal 1080 Ti comes with one of those EVGA 50% PSU coupons, so that I can upgrade to a EVGA T2 1600. I can dream, can't I?

Whats up

You may didnt notice but... "i already own this psu"

stavrosmast · Feb 29, 2016

Also i know it would work i just wanted some more opinions from other ppl

turkey3_scratch · Feb 29, 2016

It is sufficient. 980Tis under stress test are about 250W. Overclocked it could be near 300W. SLI that makes 600W, plus OC CPU and rest of system, probably 800W under a fully overclocked system under torture. The EVGA G2 850W has an actual 850W on its 12V rail alone, which is a great indication. It is perfectly sufficient. Under gaming conditions, your rig will probably hover around 550W.

turkey I said stock 4790k so it should draw even less power?

turkey3_scratch · Feb 29, 2016

stavrosmast :

Yes.

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 29, 2016

850W is plenty for your setup , with that quality PSU your good to go.

stavrosmast · Feb 29, 2016

Thanks again blackbird and all other people helping here

I saw the link you sent me so my evga g2 850w has 3 year warranty now...?

turkey3_scratch · Feb 29, 2016

No it's a 10 year warranty.

stavrosmast · Feb 29, 2016

But blackbird said......

:heink:

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 29, 2016

Register on the site and you will receive the 10 year WARRANTY.

Link to warranty length , need to register to get full 10 year.

stavrosmast · Feb 29, 2016

I will surely, but what happens if the psu fails and you tell the store to send it back and get a new one? They will tell me that I had to register? If i dont (i will) how any years warranty fo you have?

Will Evga G2 850W Handle this config for at least 5 years?
