Hey guys,

 

I just bought a few new part to upgrade my system and was conidering a SLI setup later on. So I just upgraded to a i5 4670k,

Asus Maximus VI Hero Z87 and a EVGA GTX 760. My concern is will my power supply support everything I have and a SLI configuration will it run cool or sould I upgrade my PSU aswell? Here is the power supply I currently have http://store.antec.com/Product/power_supply-high_current_gamer/hcg-750/0-761345-23870-0.aspx. I would like to run another GTX 760 in SLI but not sure if I can. Let me know what you guys think I would really appreciate it.

 

Specs:

 

CPU: i5 4670k

GPU: EVGA GTX 760

Yes 750w will be more than enough and the Asus Maximus VI Hero Motherboard Supports SLI.

Your Specs are Compatible with SLI. There are some Downsides to SLI but it's Great!

Besides heat output and power consumption, the rest is negligible. I have zero issues with my SLI setup.

Awesome! Thanks guys for the quick response looks like I'll be getting another GTX 760 then

Since I can't be bothered creating my own thread for almost same setup, I'll ask here.

Same setup, but a 650W (Gold) PSU, still able to sli 760s?

(I saw somewhere a setup was drawing ~520W with sli 760s, so I'm thinking it should be doable)

And as a follow up to above, if sli is possible, would the 4GB card then be able to make use of the memory?

No sorry, I found this on the Internet:

GeForce GTX 760 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.

GeForce GTX 760 SLI - On your average system the card requires you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit.

 

For Overclocking I think you need a Bit more then 700 Watt but most people don't even bother Over clocking so 700W should be Fine.

All of those, while not false, are inaccurate.

Care to elaborate?

I use a 750W with my SLI 780s and a 4670k OCd to 4.6. 

 

You can probably get away with a 550W power supply for 760 SLI (their TDP is 170W x 2 = 340W). If not then 600W.

Cool, this in the region I was figuring too. Ok, will have to think on this a little.
