GTX 980 Sli

[smolkomartin1]

Hi there, I have one question. I gonna buy a new computer and I´m thinking about to put in to it 2 GTX 980. I gonna have water cooling there but I don´t know what power supply is good to by to power both graphic cards? And one more question. Can I water cool both GPU or one or any. 

 

Thanks.

Go for a corsair and maybe like 850 watts if its gunna run a loop too, what are the full system specs?

An EVGA 750W should be fine 

If you want a little more room for a future 3-way you might get an 850 or 1000W

other good brands are Corsair, Cooler master, Be quiet, And look for 80 plus Bronze or better

what resolution are you playing at?

750w/850w will be perfectly fine.

EVGA G2 PSUs are good.

 

Their lineup of PSUs are much good and cheaper..

 

If not get Seasonic PSUs.

750 would be a small as i would go

750 watts are fine, but you really shouldn't buy 980s. they are extremely overpriced. Get an R9 295X2, it performs within 10% of 2 980s for half the price.

For 2way, 650w is already plenty. Really, a 750w psu would have been enough even for QUAD sli. You'd just have to deal with the pain of getting some molex adapters, but as far as wattage goes, you'd be perfectly fine.

If you're going to OC the two cards + CPU I think a ~850W psu will be nice. You can get away with maybe ~750W but I rather be on the safe route if you do plan on overclocking all 3 of those components. Yes maxwell is more efficient but some of that goes out the window once you pump higher clocks than the out-the-box speeds.

In theory, you can get away with 430w PSUs, not 750w. 850 is overkill, in fact, even 750 is as well. Getting 650w psus would be perfect.

You can watercool both cards and the cpu as well if you have the budget. I would suggest cards from EVGA as they don't void your warranty when you take the cooler off. There might be other manufacturers who offer the same.
