Can this PSU hook up 2nd 370

Zeako_

The GPU- http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814150735&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566

The PSU- https://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm

It has 2 6+ 2 pci connects yet it still gives me an error.

Is it because my PSU is too low wattage?

DISCLAIMER- I already own 1 XFX 370 and my buddy just upgraded and had the exact same one so he is lending it to me to do some benchmarking for my YT channel. I won't be running them to long I'm xfire b4 I get my own upgrade. Thanks :)

That was what I was thinking 2. Amd cards tend to be power Hungary.

R7 370 pulls less than a 960 - you're fine

What error do you get? Wattage is definitely enough as each of those cards is going to need around 120W max - you'll be seeing draw of about 350W with both of them and the rest of the system.

This is exactly what it reads when I add a 2nd 370 "2 additional PCI - Express 6 pin connectors are needed" it only takes one 6 pin am I correct and the PSU has 2 6 + 2 pin connectors, is all my info right or what? Didn't realize 370 wasn't very power hungry

XFX 370 needs 1 6-pin. What motherboard do you have?

CF is listed as supported, if it has 2 PCIe 2.0 16x slots or 2 PCIe 3.0 8x slots or better you should be fine.

if you can confirm via picture each card has need of only 1 6-pin you're fine. If they need more you might need adapters
