Isit bad for components to be powred by 2 jumped psus?

[Bajantechnician]

Hey guys, so i have 3 390x cards. ibuildnanosits is prob gonna kill me over "polution" lol

My question however, is asking this. Is using a evga gs1050 to power 2 390x cards, while using a ax1500i to power everything else bad for the components?

its jumped green to green, black to black. works completely fine. im just wondering would that reduce the life of the cards and compionents if everything is powered by 2 seperate psus?

 

Thanks

Also, i didnt know where to put this, so i put it in general. please move it if its in the wrong subforum .

Thanks again

[Enderman]

no its fine

just useless, since a 1500w PSU is enough for everything

[beach_boy98]

Nope it shouldn't be. On another note. Why are you doing that?

[afyeung]

Yep. You must have a radius of 5m between each PSU for them to function properly /s

 

 

you're fine. I'd like to see that rig tho

[samcool55]

...why do you need 2 psu's? the 1500i should be plenty to power everything, not sure what the rest of your system is but still.

1500w is more than enough for almost every scenario... Unless you are going 7 gamers 1 cpu...

But but...you have a 1500i

[ELSknutson]

both of thoughs PSU should be able to handle that load single handed why would you put them together

You know that one of those two PSUs can power the whole rig by itself with wattage to spare, right? You don't need two, you aren't even close.

everything else as in

a couple ssd/hdd? motherboard? cpu? pump? fans? an entirely separate rig? your AC unit? your house? your city? your country?

 

the AX1500i should be enough alone imo

 

but to answer your question, it probably wont cause any issues whatsoever

ax1500i = 1300w @ 120v

1500W = 240V

 

my house is 120v

so max power provided by the 1500i is 1300W

 

3 390x + 5820k + extra stuff

~900W + 400W + ~200W + ~1500W

3 way 390x draws ~900 W no?

thats what i remember

I doubt it, but even if it does even a 1200W PSU would be able to power that, plus a CPU and drives. You don't need two 1500W PSUs, it's nonsensical.

that would be worst case scenario i assume

and what else is in your rig to pull another 600W? cpu + others ~= 300W max including OC

your PC does not use 1500W

i can guarantee you that

plug everything into the 1500i and use corsair link to view the power usage

run furmark and prime95 or something and watch how it does not use 1500W

There is no way in hell that your system will exceed 1500W, or even 1300W.

Hell, Linus ran TWO CPUs and SEVEN GPUs from 1600W. 3 GPUs and a single X99 CPU is well within the comfort zone of 1300W.

No way a single 5820K will use 400W either.

How much does 3 390xs draw?

i'd say 700~800W-ish in games

800~850W-ish in synthetic benchmarks?

[Technous285]

I'm running my 5820K (140W) with a 980Ti (250W) on a 850W PSU (full rig specs as Monsuta in sig) that'll do me just fine when I drop in a second 980Ti and put them both under water along with the power draw of all the other parts of my system. (~795W max expected draw according to PCPartPicker). Now if I went to do 3-way 980Ti's, I'd have to jump up to a 1100-1300W PSU for the ~1050W expected draw, but I'm going to be fine as-is.

 

You're overestimating the power draw of your total system in the long run as it currently is.

a whole system with 3 390Xs about 1100W (from the wall)

so it would be drawing less than 1000W form the PSU

So everythibgng would be fine off the ax1500i?

yeah, 99% sure it will

plug everything into the 1500i, run some stress tests, and if it doesnt shut down then it works fine

you can also monitor the AX1500i power usage in corsair link

I see. I will try that.

Thanks
