Yes. The maximum draw from that card is around 300W, so 860W is more than enough.

It's overkill (only if you don't add anything else)

the 850 watt range is perfect for dual card set-ups. so yes, it will work :)

This question feels ridiculous to me.

Most Extreme PC's will never consume more than 500 W Maximum.

If you overclock then max is around 600 W.

The only thing that you have to be worries is the fan speed at high loads.

The corsair ax series has excellent fans so that will never be a problem.

So go ahead and enjoy the beast.

My pc uses at full load cpu and gpu both overcloked around 770 watts and pulls form the wall around 790 watts (says corsair link) I'm using a 3970x to 4.8ghz and a Asus 7970 matrix platinum

Dude your pc is a 6 core extreme, overkill overclock, and a power hog, your pc should not even be compared to mainstream stuff, and if you use that power 24/7 you must have an epic power bill XD, and even with your setup ax860i would work but be loud as hell at 770w

Hmm, Who overclocks a 3970x to 4.8 Ghz ???

your cpu will be facing electrostatic degradation now,

3960 can overclock to 4.8 safely but the max overclock without Electrostatic degradation for 3970x is 4.5 ghz

check here if you dont believe http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-components/processors/intel-core-i7-3970x-1118104/review'

and btw how much overvolting are u giving the cpu....huh???

I dont care of some people running 2 pumps 10 hard disks 50 fans 20 cold cathodes to light up the room and at the same time fire up prime 95 and kombuster and kills the pc to get the performance out of it.

The only thing is normal user will never go beyond 600-700w.

And your link says nothing over electrostatic degradation its running on 1.41Vcore

the wattage you pull out from the wall isn't equal to de wattage of powersupply it needs. ac to dc conversion is the catch. you allways need to multiply it by squareroot2 = about x1.41. so if you pull 600 watts from the wall, you need: 600*1.41 = 846 watts. with a 85% effeciency, it is that times 1.15 = 972 watts wich is quite an accurate result. and that is when the psu will function at 100%, which isn't the most efficient. it is more about the 85% load. so 972*1.15=1118 watts. so an epic computer which pulls about 600 watts from the wall, is most efficient with a psu around the 1100 watts. i hope i've cleared that up to you guys :) but thats only for reallllly eopic pc's. for dual gpu set-ups, you need probably around the 850 watts. for single about 600.

maybe 1100 watts will be overkill if the 600 watts is only a spike. a 850 watt psu, can handle spikes from about 1000 watts.

you would be ok even with SLI.
You do realise the 690 would be considered to be already "SLI'd" since it has two GPUs?

Anyway, for 2 690's, 860w won't be enough. Please do your research before making stupid assumptions.

That'll be fine.

I'd say the minimum for 2 GPUs is 750w, although i'd rather have 850w+ for peace of mind.

I know that The 790 watts that it takes is really from the wall it uses 770 watts

hm i could have made a calculation fault. in voltages, AC to DC is x1,41. i don't believe it is this with wattage in general.

the reason you use a high wattage PSU is because they run at peak efficacy around 50% power.

Yeah you'll be absolutely fine using a 690 with your psu you have more than enough power

860i Will be fine even if you are running Socket 2011 as well. Also you will be fine because the new ax power supplies are so efficient (80+ Platinum). Just as a thought if you are a person for aesthetics then you should get the braided cables from corsair. Those are cool.
