260 GTX (216) owners

What is your stock core voltage and max overclock? You can grab your bios with gpuz and check with nibitor. I'm curious to see if the cards that top out at 680mhz and 700mhz ship with v1.10 and v1.12 respectively. Mine is 1.12 and I can do 700-711 linked and I'm wondering if that slight bump has something to do with it.

BIOS version: 62.00.1A.00.1A
EVGA

Mine shipped with only 1.06v, but have up to 1.15v, I can mod. Using EVGA Precision, unlinked, I can hit about 725 core, and about 1500 shaders, mem 1200. Anything more and it is unstable.

My new rig...

Case
-Antec Tweleve Hundred
Mobo
-EVGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i
CPU
-Q9550 2.83ghz
Video card
-EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB
Memory
-CORSAIR XMS3 4gb DDR3 1600
HD
-Western Digital VelociRaptor 300gb 10000rpm

and so forth but my question is what power supply. I am running out of money and I can get a real good deal on a Corsair 650watt. WILL IT BE ENOUGH POWER???????? can somebody HELP...? Also would it be enough for gtx 260 in dual sli (down the road?) I know the thing to do is get an 750 or 100 but I'm running low on $$$..... HELP??

Dude hate to say this but thread jacking about your computer is 'uncool'. You pc doesn't look like you are hurting in the money area. You can afford all that but can't afford a $130 750w PSU?

A 650w will run it currently, with no problems but it won't work for SLi 260 setup.

I'm sorry if i was "thread jacking" but this is my first computer build. I have been buying everything part by part. A local computer store is going out of buiness and he has a corsair 650 that i talked him down to 40 bucks. If I helped him move a few desk/tables with my truck 5 miles down the road(20 min move). All I need is a power supply and I have everything. So before you judge someone... how about you get the facts first.

Why don't you create your own thread? It takes a half a second, it doesn't interfere with this one and you will get helpful responses to your specific situation instead of people telling you how and where to post properly...
