Looking for a new PSU :D

[M4XvPA1N]

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Corsair TX850M power supply. I want to know if it can run 2x radeon 7870s in crossfire. Any feedback would be awesome.

[Blade of Grass]

Yeah, 850w is way more than enough to run two 7870s in crossfire. They use about 150-180 each, max.

Yeh that is tonnes, you could run two 7970's off of that if you wish.

^Cool thanks guys. I'm so excited!

The TX models cooling method is to turn the fan on at full whack for a short period of time and then turn off again. If you're wanting a quiet computer and baring in mind, if it is sitting beside you on your desk it can get very irritating when it constantly ramps up and down when your using some wattage. I own the TX750 model with a single graphics card, looking at selling it in preference of a psu with a constant cooling approach.

If you want a quiet PSU, Silverstone Striders are OK, however, my recommendation would be the beQuiet! Dark Power series. Nothing but awesome reviews and super quiet!

It'll be plenty to run those in Crossfire.

Also because its Corsair you'll be getting a bloody good product

Look at the beQuiet psus for a quiet and awesome psu. I got the straight power and the dark power is even higher end

[Blade of Grass]

If you want a good, quiet PSU, go for a Seasonic- X series PSU. They have a hybrid/on hand switch. When its in hybrid, the fan only turns on under load (so if you're like me, then the fan will barely ever be on).

If you want a better psu, I would get a Corsair AX850 (80+ gold).

I am not to worried about the efficiency honestly. If you can afford a $1500 gaming rig then spending a little more on electricity shouldn't be that bad. lol
