can i crossfire 7870s + 8350 with a 600w psu

[ahmadarif7]

Am i cuttting it short with a CM 600W for an 8350 + 2x 7870's?

does cm coolermaster mean? if so, i think its not the best brand and yes, you are cutting it really short it will run near full load. you would also need 4 pcie power cables and i dont think your psu provide that much

Yes cooler master, aw thought cm was a good brand. So far im doing ok with crossfired 7870's but with an fx-4100. So idk if i have to upgrade my psu to support thath 8350

they make really rubish cheap ones but also pretty good ones. if you give us the model, some psu expert may can tell you more.
you could also try overclocking your fx 4100 that it uses as much power as a fx8350 and maybe measure how much watt your whole pc pulls. Anyway, you will push your psu to its limits

its a gx lite 600w. i did overclock the cpu is running currently 4.4ghz idk how much power it draws tho

 

[guggi4]

hm i think then it should be possible to use a fx8350, i think a fx4100 at 4.4 draws something similar. but keep in mind you wont have oc headroom for your fx 8350 then, or atleast veeery little

look at this site: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx
its a tier 4, so it depends on you how risky you want to have it.

A good choice, if you like cooler master, would be a Silent Pro M2 semi-modular PSU around 700W for your setup. I run a single 7870XT on the 620W model of this PSU, and it handles it fine...go to the 700W for a CF setup and you should be fine there.
