Can my PSU support GTX 1080 Asus Strix

Mirza_iris · Jun 9, 2016

Hi everyone. I ordered myself EVGA Super Nova G2 850W for my PC. It is tier 1 PSU here on Tom's Hardware so I think it's pretty good.
Rest of PC is
- GTX 1080 Asus ROG strix
- 64 GB corsair vengeance ddr4 2400mhz 4x16
- i7 5960X
- ASROCK X99 Profesional

It could support 3 of them

No issues whatsoever. Excellent choice.

I asked few people and most were outraged lolz. They were like: "get 1000W" and "get water cooling system" etc etc

What the hell?

))
It's a 180W card. Even a 550W PSU could run it.

a corsair cx 750W could run 2 and that psu is bad your more than fine
and honestly on that system a would get two 1080s

It has 64GB of ram and beast CPU. That is bit of worrying me.

Mirza_iris :

your more than fine a 5820k draws the same power as what you have
a 2nd 1080 is perfectly fine unless you are going to overclock the s*** out of it and increase the voltage by 200%

your more than fine for two 1080s

Mirza_iris :

Doesn't matter. It's ALOT more than enough.

Hlsgsz :

i once ran 2 970s on 700w 850 for your rig is more than fine

turkey3_scratch · Jun 9, 2016

You are perfectly fine. Your CPU is a 140W CPU. RAM, hard drives, motherboard - all added together about 40W. UNder full throttle your system is about 350W, 400W-425W with overclocking. Gaming load is more like 300W. What is it you are worried about?

Mirza_iris · Jun 9, 2016

Everyone around me seems to think it's not good enough for high end cpu, gpu and 64gb of ram. I came here for professional advice and I seem to got it. Thank you again guys, and thanks turkey3_scratch. That cleared it up for me

Mirza_iris :

Who the heck is telling you this stuff? I wouldn't listen to these people about computers anymore.

Mirza_iris · Jun 9, 2016

Which is why I came here and got my confirmations. After all this IS tier 1 PSU on TH PSU tier list

Hlsgsz :

That overestimates.

Epicness937 · Jun 10, 2016

turkey3_scratch :

better than under estimates

Mirza_iris · Jun 10, 2016

Ok guys another question. I've just read that Corsair Vengeance 16GB ram is not compatibile with ASrock motherboard and it's too high. NH D14 will be problem here.

Hlsgsz · Jun 12, 2016

Mirza_iris :

Where have you read that? That MB supports upto 128GB of ram, ergo it supports 16 gig dimms.
You need to get the 2011 variant of the nh-d14
