need a dual psu case for atx

[aaws]

ok so i dont have space for a 2nd psu in my old case and i need a new one any ideas

[aaws]

I need a 2nd PSU because I am running out of power when I try to overclock I legit run outta power I have 2 gtx 1070's in SLI and an 8086k (i am running a 1000w psu)

Um, you shure you are running out of power? Pascal doesnt hog that mich power. 

 

Edit: unless you are doing some sort of exotic cooling solution

i am using a aftermarket card from Zotac the amp extreme

[SupaKomputa]

he doesn't know what hes talking about

[SupaKomputa]

1000watt psu can drive 4 cards in a mining build

[aaws]

ok yo when i try running fire strike on 3dmark my pc just shuts down completely when my cpu is overclocked to 5.3ghz

I believe the max power draw any 1070 can do is about 250 watts without modding the actual card.

 

Im pretty shure you are running into some other bottleneck. Like motherboard throttling

They havent changed the VRM much on that motherboard as far as i know. Should be fine.

 

Instability perhaps. Are your stresstest including AVX?

 

Either that or the 1000 watt PSU is a poor quality one

Doesn't mean that it won't break.

 

Why you need a case anyway. Just plug the damn thing from outside.

Any specific naming?

 

I dont have an overview of them but we might have found our culprit.

 

That or the VRM on the motherboard or unstable OC due silicon lottery (and maybe AVX)

But Linus made an awesome chiller.

But if you really wanted dual psus you could test it with the second psu outside the case to see if it helps before buying a new case(assuming you have a spare psu)

Dont know, but it being 80+ bronze and the sub 50$ is not a great starting point

 

It isnt mentioned in the PSU tier list either

[r4tch3t]

But limiting it to one that can hold dual power supplies is, well, limiting. 

Personally if you could find one, a lian Li v2000 with the dual psu bracket would be my choice. I have a V2000b and am trying to find a dual psu bracket for it. 

 

Only case I can find so far is this. 

 

You can also mod a second supply into your case. 

 

But as others have mentioned, raid max isn't exactly a premium brand, they work well enough, but your using top end hardware, you need a top end psu like corsair and the like.

ye i do need a better one but the cost is a problem so might as well run 2 1000w raidmax psu's so ye they r pretty cheap and buying a different case would be cheaper

 

[aaws]

also 1 more thing need support for a 360mm rad

Id recommend selling your current PSU and getting a quality 850 watt or 1000 watt seasonic Focus gold Plus.

Lian Li v2000 can hold 4 360 rads with modding. 

Also the issue isn't the amount of power rather how clean it is. Running at those speeds makes it very sensitive to ripple in the voltage. The raid max just can't provide a steady enough voltage for your cpu regardless of how much power it has.

Also remember you have spent multiple hundreds of dollars on the rest of your hardware but almost nothing on what feeds it.
