Corsair CX 750 W for ZOTAC GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme ?

Chinmay3d · May 18, 2017

I am planing to buy ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme. I am confuse about my power supply . My current PSU is Corsair CX750 (Bronze). Is it enough for this Graphics card?

My System:
Processor: Intel Core I7 5960x
Mother board: Asus X99 A
Ram : G-Skill 8 GB 2800 Bus (4X8= 32 GB)
HDD: SSHD Seagath 4 TB
Cooling Fan : Cooler Master 120XL
Casing : IN WIN GR ONE
PSU: Corsair CX750

Is my current power supply good enough for ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme with this System ?

You will have over 200 watts to spare with that system yes it is plenty

It will work but I'd only use it till you can afford a better PSU. The older CXs aren't exactly known for their reliability and in some rare case have been known to damage other components.

Well if I will buy new PSU Then For Two Zotac 1080 TI Xtreme SLI with this System Which PSU You Recommend ?

Atleast 850w(go bigger if you plan on any overclocking).
EVGA G2, G3, GS or P series.
Pretty much any Seasonic or SuperFlower.
Corsair RMx, RMi, HX, HXi, AX or AXi.

Everywhere people says its low budget psu but it's still corsair one not a potato it will work good don't fear

Just because Corsair slapped their label on it doesn't make it good. It uses lower quality capacitors and has a low temperature rating(30°C) which makes them problematic and prone to early failure. Whist them damaging hardware is rare it is not unheard of. The issues have been mostly remedied with the newer better platform in the the new CXm series, but currently they only come in 3 sizes 450, 550 and 650 these 3 units are currently the only decent CX units I'd recommend.
Will it work?
Yes, as a short term solution it might fair ok.
Would I use it as a long term solution?
No way with a $700 GPU

JonnyGURU recommended + 3 years warranty from corsair

While the reviews on that site are usually very good, Out of the box they perform great but at around the 1 year mark the failure rate jumps. At one point I was seeing atleast 1 thread on these forums were a CX had failed, most common issue is shutting down under load. Hell based on Jonny's review I used 5 CXs around the time the review came out in some lower budget/ low power requirement custom builds all 5 failed(2 600s, 2 500s and a 430), only 1 made it over a year(the 430). All got replaced with Seasonic made XFXs all are still running to this day. Another Mod here had a CX600 fail and it took out his motherboard. So between seeing multiple other failures and my own experiences these are not reliable units.

Yeah if u can buy a $700 GPU then why not a good psu (better to safe then sorry) but i am still running a VS 450 for over a year now and still no problems but waiting to see how it explodes sure it will explode cause it's VS

(buy a $100 PSU for a $150 GPU? Nah too much $$$ :no:
