Enough Power?

[acidydragon]

Hello all!
So I'm upgrading my computer, and had some questions.

I'm adding a second GPU, and changing my CPU, and adding Water Cooling.
So curious as to my power needs, I pulled up a PSU calculator, and it told me I needed 970w for my rig...

The settings I chose in it are:

        1 Physical CPU, High End Desktop, 4670k, Overclocked to 4500 with 1.35V (guestimation), 2 sticks DDR3, 2 GTX 780's, 2 HDDs 7200rpm, 1 DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive, 1 Flash SSD Drive, 4 USB Devices, Fan Controller, 8 120mm Reg Fans, 6 High Performance fans, Swiftech MCP 655 Pump, 90% load, 25% Capacitor Aging.

 

Do I need a 1000w PSU? Or would the 750w I own be enough? (I have a 1200 in the mail, but it's won't be here when the rest shows)

Honestly I would get the 1000w. 750w would probably do fine for non oced cpu and sli gpus, but when you add in a ton of fans, a pump, overclocks, ect, it adds up.

I am running a 4670k and 770 off 450w, and I can't oc because my psu isnt enough, so take my words of advice

You're fine.

You can OC for sure, just don't use a ton of voltage.

My plan until I can get the 1200w here, Is to chill at stock temps.

I tried ocing just my cpu to 4.4ghz 1.25v and constant crashes so no

Oh lol. You sure it was not enough power not just an unstable OC? Either way you'll be pushing that PSU.

1.25v 4.4ghz cpu

1.5v 1333 ram

1.9v on that thing that I cant remember what its called

pretty sure I deed it right, and I'm using an nt06-pro with an nff12, so temps weren't the problem.

Try like 1.28 or something. I only use 410w under 100% load so you're fine.

1.28 is more than 1.25, how would that help? anyway pm me because were ruining the thread D;
