Cold with two cards it will leave you wanting

modern x99 @ 1.6 to 1.7 core pulls around 400 watts

stock high end cards are typically around 250 watt's

cold @ 1.4 to 1.5 they will pull around 350 to 400 watts each

I popped my 1K Strider like a zit running running a 4770K @ 1.8 core and my 780TI @ 1.5 core

1200 is minimum for 2x GFX cards IMO , my 1300 watt G2 was struggling with two, ended up with a 1600 P

So now adays I use the 1600 for CPU and 1x gpu and the 1300 for the second card .........

How are you doing two PSU at the sametime? just hot wiring the 2nd PSU?
I've been out of the game for so long now I actually had to google how to change my RAM speed the other day...

Yea, my 1600 watt unit came with a hot wire plug for testing water cooling rigs, I use it for evil ........... lol

should I do 2x 850w corsairs then?
1 for cpu/board/ram
1 for gpus

Thanks kikicoco1334, I picked them up for double the shipping cost.

I don't want to go crazy spending like I did last time I got into pcs. Have to double,triple check everything before I buy.

I would get 1x 850 and not worry about SLI

keep in mind the 850 will do 2x GFX cards ambient

I am talking about extreme voltage in my post above

so I should be good with that 850w evga for now then.Since I'll probably be doing dice on lower end parts.

my dream goal would be to run 4x gpus all with ln2 but I'll ask for advice once I'm down that road.

good idea, just pound on that CPU and go from there
