[Deleted member 362816]

Current psu is getting rma'd need to find a new psu that can handle these specs.

2x gtx 465's in sli
athlon 640
thermaltake element v case
cards in sli use up to 603 watts at full load keep that in mind

psu needs to come from tigerdirect

Hi.

What budget do you have? Here are some good.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5611869&CatId=1483
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5074042&CatId=1483
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3438607&CatId=1483

Keep in mind that those GTX 460 on SLI will never use that power, so, maybe you can go with a 600W PSU without problems.

600 watt psu cannot handle them i am using my back up 650 corsair atm

What 600W PSU do you have?

it can not handle both cards rember 465's are worst then 460's when it comes to power

That's a 650W PSU, and if can't handle the SLI definitely you have something bad on your PSU.

Seasonic>Corsair>Antec>PC Power and Cooling>XFX>Thermaltek (not all series)>OCZ>.......>Coolmax pretty far of the good PSUs. Do your Coolmax a 80 Plus certification?
