Power supply Voltage problem

[Fuzion]

I have a new project and I wondered how much power I need so main parts will be the 3930k in EVGA's X79 FTW and I have 2 GTX 580 3GB FTW Edition I have 2 SSD's and 4 2TB HDD's

and I made a custom loop well 2 loops with 2 pumps in. So I need opinions on how much wattage I will need to power this system I am thinking of going overboard and getting a Corsair AX1200i which is quite overkill.... maybe I dont know dont judge me. Oh and you can help me by posting a PSU that will be enough or even more for having 3 of those 580's because I might be buying 1 more. oh and please post a modular power supply not a semi or non modular one. oh also 80 Plus Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum certification

If you like the looks of the AX1200i then even a 860i will be just fine for two 580's. And to o be all honest I wouldn't recommend 3 580's (they are really really power hungry and adding the third one rarely makes a differende). At that point it would be be better to sell them away and buy two 670's or 680's

I would go for a AX850 if you are going for 2 GTX 580. If you plan on going for a triple SLI, the AX1200i would be a good choice.

I asked a friend and said I should sell them and get a better one, so I sold them I got a thousand dollars for me selling them and I decided to go with a EVGA GTX Titan Signature Superclocked

Any decent 700-800w psu will be fine. Have a look at Seasonic, Silverstone and of course Corsair. Keep in mind though that most of the high power PSU's from Corsair are re-branded Seasonic units - Silverstone are mainly CWT units.

Don't bother with an AXi model unless you're using the Corsair Link system.

Unlikely. A cursory glance at their power supplies shows Enhance, FSP or Seventeam are the most common OEMs used by Silverstone.

Can you suggest?

Oh and my color scheme for my build is red, because my custom loop is gonna be red

I disagree. I don't think that 700 to 800W would be enough. The TDP of the 580 is 244W, two of those would be about 500W, and overclocking (which I'm assuming he's doing because he has everything under water) would add another 50-100W, bringing you to say 600W. An OC'd 3930k eats up 200-220W, bringing you up to 800W or so under load. Now add in 4 drives, a motherboard, a few dimms, two pumps, and a bunch of fans and you're easily over 850W. Granted that's peak power usage, but I still wound't suggest a 700-800W unit for a build that has the potential to draw 850W.

As far as suggestions, I would go with a 1200W unit if you really plan on adding another 580, otherwise a 1000W unit would be good.

I'd pick up one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151105

or these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151110

Both seasonic units, one's 1000W platinum, one's 1050W gold.

If you want red however, you're pretty much out of luck in that power range, and the ax 1200i is the only unit I can think of with a red scheme that can deliver that much power. It is a bit pricey, but given the rest of your build I don't think the difference will mean that much to you.

Also, silverstone sells no CWT units according to this, and not all high power units form corsair are seasonic. In fact, none of the units currently on the market are. The old AX gold series excluding the AX 1200 was seasonic, but the current AXi platinum units and the old ax 1200 gold were all flextronics. Also the HX series (if you consider it high end) is CWT.

You totally missed the AX (non-i) platinums which are made by Seasonic and still listed by Corsair.

Judging by your other components, just go with the biggest you can find since it's not gonna dent your pocket anyway xD

800w will be more than sufficient. The likelyhood of him getting a third 580 is probably pretty low meaning two way SLI will be fine on a 700w PSU. Most 800w PSU's are actually about 850w making that completely fine for 3 way SLI. An OC'd 3930K by the way is consuming about 180..

And my mistake about Silverstone; I meant enhance.

Ok dude I asked my friends and told me to sell it and so I did I got I believe 950 dollars and I got a Titan so I am only running 1 card and also I am really picky on like choosing a PSU because of like my likeness on sticking to one color scheme in which is Red and Black

Yeah I am thinking of the Fatal1ty 1000w from OCZ

Obvious choice that comes to mind is the Corsair AX series however there is the option to carbon wrap the PSU.

Also the biggest in my choice would be the EVGA SuperNova Nex 1500w. anyway I already gone with the Fatal1ty 1000w anyway Individually sleeved baby
