Is it possible (and safe for my components?) to crossfire two HD 7850s on a 630w psu? The AMD website suggests at least 600 watts. This is my first build that I just assembled a week or so ago: i5 3570k overclocked to 4.2, Rosewill Green series 630w psu, GA-Z77X-UD3H mobo, 8GB DDR3 Mushkin 1600, LG dvd/cd combo drive, 3 case fans, a hyper 212 evo w/ stock fan, a Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD, and 6 or so USB accessories. I've read quite a few comments about staying away from any psu not from Seasonic, Corsair, or Antec, but check out this review from hardware secrets on the Green series 630w:
Rosewill Green 630 Watt PSU
My current PSU has 50A on the 12V rail, and 2 available 6-pin PCI express power connectors.
I won't CF any time soon, and I probably won't even buy the first card for a few months. I just wanted some feedback to know if when I get the 2nd 7850, whether or not I'll need a new psu to go with it.
