I was wondering if my Corsair HX750 PSU is enough to handle my 2 GTX 980s in SLI? I also have an Intel Core i7-5820k. Also, will I have any room for overclocking? Thanks.

You might not have a whole lot of room but you should have some. To be safe I'd go for like 800 watts.

You know what, just hoped on PC Part Picker and 750 Watts should be fine, just be careful with your overclocking, if you start to get crashing scale it back.

I have the HX750 It's a rock solid PSU. But obviously be careful with water cooling / led madness or overclocking voltages. The headroom will be a little tight.

I am going to be watercooling my GPUs using my Swiftech H220-X and expanding it's loop. I am adding another 240mm radiator to it and will have the cards in a parallel config. The pump only uses 6W from what I read so I don't think it will be a problem.

You are safe to run two GTX 980's. And as for the room... You have a good quality power supply there so I personally wouldn't go and buy 800-850watts... Should be all fine.

you have "on the +12v"

 

 

62A

 

 

so... your psu is ready for sli and crossfire (not for oc they)

 

yea, i think all looks good and you be fine

 

 

still, for future builds friend

 

if you plan do a "top of the line" gpu x2

 

buy a 850w psu  ^_^

APU = A10

I went on eXtreme power supply calculator and did an advanced calculation of everything in my system. Apparently, my system draws around 606w. After calculating in the efficiency of my 80 plus gold PSU, I think i should be fine. Thanks everyone for your help :D
