390x Xfire on 750w

[FruitBasketSilex]

Possible to crossfire two 390xs on a 750w 80Plus Gold power supply? Exact model is a Corsair RM750.

I would go for 850w minimum

[Oshino Shinobu]

Possible? Probably, though not much, or no room for any OC. Would really want to go for 850W minimum though.

Yeah, I would've too, if I knew I was going for a 390x from the start of my build in February, but I'm just wondering if I can scrape by, or if I should pick up a 1kW psu whenever I get a second 390x.

Ehhhhhhhhh........

 

I really wouldn't on that PSU.

If you have the money to upgrade the PSU when you get the second card, then do so. Something like an EVGA G2 1000W would be a good choice. Plenty of room for upgrades and OC with 1000W.

If you start iut with a single 390x that is fine, if you ever decide to crossfire in the future get a 850-1050w PSU. 850w would allow for minor overclocks, 1050w to allow for any future SLI or crossfire setup in the future snd some hefty hefty overclocks.

That seems to be the general consensus, and I kind of figured I would have to get a new one anyways.

I'll pick up a 1kW PSU when I get a second card. Currently awaiting my first to arrive in the mail. ^-^

It will work but too close for comfort as in an extra fan might make it go overboard..

850w gives you headroom I would go with a 850w g2

If you get a 1kw you better be going 3 way

I know how to pick a power supply, bud.

I don't need it right now, though. I'll need it when I get a second card. Still waiting on my first one to get here.

EVGa G2 850W is what I would go for.

[FruitBasketSilex]

yes

Not a bad idea.

4k monitor, two 1440P ultrawides, maybe even just three 4K monitors, and 3 390xs.

Might need to look into doing this.

[Kirky2k15]

You might get away with it - check this build - coming in at 748w lol

Depending how many drives you've got connected - probably better to get a better psu tho in the longer term

Hey! We're 4790k buddies!

Also, I feel sorry for you....having to make do with that gt 520.

[iamdarkyoshi]

If I end up cross firing a 390x with my 390x, as I have a 130w TDP CPU I will most certainly have to upgrade my trusty ol 750w g2 to something with A LITTLE more grunt.
