gtx980 SLI EVGA Superclocked reference cooler @RM1000 ??!?!
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to make sure before I order.

I have so far:

z97 Sabertooth
4790K
16gb Corsair Vengeance
(used to have rhe r9 295x2 but I sent it back to hell once I saw those beautys)

and a Corsair RM1000 PSU.

Will that be able to supply the Superclocked reference cooler EVGA gtx980's in SLI?
I heard that 800W should be enough for SLI and the normal reference onces, but I have no Idea whether the superclocked use a lot more juice. EVGA site says 500W minimum per card.
I dont plan to overclock anything at the Moment right now.

Please help & Thanks!! :)

The 1000 watt power supply is plenty for two GTX 780s. It will certainly power two 980s.

I believe I read that the recommendation is 800 watts for two GTX 980s, but they don't specify it on the EVGA Site.
