Thermaltake TR2 700w for 760 sli with 4670k?

[Deflexure]

Is this 700w tr2 enough to power an OC 4670k and 2 760s? I need something really cheap, but not doomed. And this thing is $39.99 after MIR which is too good to not ask about. 

 

Any better suggestions if this isn't enough? (760 sli is because I don't have the money to buy a 780 or something at once, the 2 760s will be like a month or two apart, and I already have one.)

Just wait for the 780. It'll be way more worth it, and it will consume less power.

No. I'm not asking about the damned gpu.

Alrighty then. You'll be more than fine.

I think it will.

That's one odd power supply.Not even 80%+ certificated.

should be fine. but dont go crazy with your gpu overclocks.

You're fine to sli.

That seems like a reliable PSU. Although, Newegg lists efficiency as 75%+ while Hardware Secrets lists the unit as Bronze (and it passes as Bronze in their tests too). TT's website also lists the efficiency as 75%+ with no mention of 80Plus. Is it possible I'm confusing different units? Pretty sure I'm not..

I'm having a similar situation. Either way, there are people who have sli'ed 760's on that psu as shown in the newegg reviews so the OP should be fine.

Thermaltake has a rather confusing line up, where they tend to mixed various of OEMs within a particular series especially on their TR2 lineup. If you look at the images of the PSU through the honeycomb vent, you would noticed that the layout is different from the one shown on HWS. But it is similar to this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153129

The lower wattage TR2 units from CWT were build on some outdated designs, but I'm not sure whether the 700w would yield the same design. TBH, I would pass a pass on that unit.

I believe I read in a thread on the JonnyGuru forums that the TR2 430W was junk, and it was odd that TT added this 700W to the same lineup, opening the gates for potential confusion.

One of the issues is that 80+ certification costs money. Quite a bit if I remember correctly. To avoid this cost, some manufacturers will skip this process even if the PSU is up to spec. The PSU is likely 80% efficient, Thermaltake just didn't certify it.

 

As others have said, 700W should definitely be enough for the 760s. Just can't get too crazy with OC that could increase power draw.

 

If you want to check these things out yourself, try a PSU wattage calculator! These aren't super accurate, but give you a ballpark.

Easier and simple, though probably a less accurate wattage estimate.

More detailed and granular. Takes a while to fill out but you can get way more specific with this than the Newegg calculator.
