Hello everyone. I just bought the second "r9 290x Lightning" for crossfire but i don't think that my current power supply can handle all this pressure which is "corsair 850w"

 

my pc specs :

 

i5 4690k *stock*

corsair H100i GTX 

2x r9 290x lightning crossfire *stock*

2x4 ddr3 kingstone 1600

 

So how many watts do i need ?

*sorry for my bad english*

850W is a good amount. If it's an RM/RMx/RMi/HX/HXi/AX/AXi you're good.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

It's a stretch, but I think you'll be fine.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

An RM series will work fine.

Is the "EVGA SuperNova 1600w p2" a good power supply, can it handel my pc?

 
 

It's good, good enough to power two of your computer lol... Get the 1000 watt version if you're paranoid

 

850 watts should be enough tbh

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

plug in everything you have into pcpartpicker.com and tell me how much the numbers come out

it will normally estimate and give a slightly larger value for headroom, you can add another 300W to it and see if it hits 1000W `-`

enough plugs for your gpu, motherboard and your hard disks or other stuffs

 

generally the EVGA P2 comes with enough cable to light a house `-` unless you have 15 or more hard drives lol

What is your opinion of "EVGA SuperNova 1600w p2" can it handel my pc?

It can handle more than two of your PC so that's kind of a waste of money.

Second thought .. i'm considering "EVGA supernova 1300w gold" it has enough power & very good looking cables.

Still overkill. As we've said, keep the RM. It's a good PSU and makes no noise.

i can't keep it because the games are crashing due to the less amount of watts i think :(.

Nope. 850W is more than enough for two 290Xs. You've got an issue somewhere else. Here's some stats for wattage used by dual 290Xs.

The last link there is with an overclocked 3960x and non-overclocked GPUs.
