Sli Help

[AustinKZombie]

Im looking into getting a second GTX 670 and my PSU only has 2 PCIE power pins which are already in use and if I buy the the card how would I power it it.

 

CPU:4700k@4.2Mhz

MB:Z87 SaberTooth

PSU:OCZ 700 WATT

GPU:GTX 670 2GB

HDD's:2 Seagate 1tb

DD:Some LG Disk Drive

so my question is what should I do?

[Godlygamer23]

You can get molex to 6 pin power connectors(which will also come with the card).

maybe through molex to 6pin adapters?

So what your say is one PCIE in each card then molex into both of the other to slots

[Godlygamer23]

You can use two molex adapters on the second card.

Waait one more thing will it be enough wattage

Just did that so you would come back here

[Godlygamer23]

Yes.

Well the power is okay but not if you are looking for a decent overclock. 700W will run that SLI but I would something with a bit more juice .

Yep. But what is the name of the PSU exactly? You don't want to run into amperage issues if it isn't a single-rail PSU.

[Godlygamer23]

If you aren't comfortable using those adapters, a new PSU unit may be in order.

Those things can run on a heck of a 550w and a good 650w. Hes got the juice for it and alittle more. OVERCLOCK FOR ALL THE JIGGAHERTZ!

[Najuno]

This would be a good and pricey option

That PSU's PCIe and Molex both run off a single rail with a max output of 25amps. It's not designed to have something as power hungry as 2 GPU's run off of it. Nvidia recommends a PSU with atleast an output of 42amps on the rail that's powering SLI 670's. You'll need a new PSU for SLI.

Maybe,

 

I´m more the kind of person that likes a certain safety factor when it comes to PSU´s. To have some more in the backhand allows your more things to do, but maybe I see this from an a little bit too enthusiastic point of view.

cAN SOME RECOMMEND ME A PSU

+1 great price & will last you forever. IMO AX series are the current best PSU's hands down.

I´ve got the Corsair AX860 and it is fantastic! Couldn´t be happier .
