is the Corsair HX-620 good for SLI 8800GT's ?

[random1283]

I've got a system here and I'm going to get SLI with two 8800GT's on the ASUS P5NT-WS 680iLT mobo im going to get the corsair HX-620 psu. From what I've read it should be enough but I want more opinions. I will have my E6750@3.6ghz, 2gb geil 800mhz ultra @[4-4-4-12, 900mhz, 2.3v], 3 fans, 1 WD 250gb, 1 raptor 74gb (might get another one) and my pioneer SATA 18X DVD writer.
Help would be good thanks.

Hi, yes its more then enofe, two 8800GT=220W or aprox 19A-20A top, you have on that PSU 50A@12V, excelent choice, go without doubt, good luck.

the 620W has 50 amps on the 12 rail which should be more than enough to run 2 g80 cards, however the unit is not g80 sli confirmed.

this one is and it is a tier 1 unit for $119AR. Needs a full tower case.

8800GT is not a g80, its g92... in any case just because its not certified doesnt mean it wont work.

More than adequate. As far as SLI certified, my HV520 is. So your 620 should be as well.

That silverstone is overkill. He will never need 1000w. Hes better off going closer to the psu's max to archive higher efficancy than going way overboard.

I ran 2 x 8800GTs just fine with an OCed QX6850. As long as you don't have a truck load of 12v devices, like 10 HDs, you'll be fine.

^Agreed

But, i personally like to use a dedicated graphics PSU when running SLI
