Conundrum, you're just being sarcastic, right?

The guy lists 2 4870 X2s with a 750W power supply and he's going to add the pump load to that already overloaded setup?

He's not too informed IMO.

I see a new P/S in his immediate future.

AHH what the heck, I give him 7 days.

Hehe, 4ryan, didn't even notice the PSU, I was too enthralled by his ability to figure it out before asking. I only see one GPU though.

Well the system is up and running on that PSU. And 36 more watts isn't going to kill a PSU.

And no, I really wasn't being sarcastic.

Yup, I too only see one GPU (a single 4870X2). The PC POwer & Cooling 750 can easilly handle that set up whic was/is:

Heatsink/Fan:Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Heat Sink (Socket LGA 1366)

MB:ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

GPU:ASUS EAH4870X2/HTDI/2G Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail
^That's a single GPU card
PowerSuppy: PC Power & Cooling Silencer PPCS750QBL 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified
^That PSUs actually capable of more than 750W. Just for the +12,+5,+3.3 rails, it can deliver a peak power of ~950W. (Calculated using formula W=V*A)

Total system with a 4870X2 draws ~500-550W for most systems

Of course, for a QuadFire set up, probably would/should get a better PSU.
