Was leaning Strix based on single 8-pin and the fan actually turns off completely. Missed that dp config.

Seasonic, Corsair AX or RM, Coolermaster V/VSM, EVGA G2, Rosewill HIVE.Someone recommend me a good power supply so I can SLI some 970s please.
I doubt a 550W PSU has a lot of amps going down that 12V rail. That's the key here, 550W are normally not rated for SLI.
There's no listing on Amazon tho D=
The reason why I always go with EVGA.
Their Step up Program.
They'll take your old card, and give you what you payed as credit to buy an upgraded card from them, Within 90 days of purchase. You just pay the difference to get the new card, and mail them the old card.
90 days is more than enough time for a test drive.
Friends don't let friends buy Thermaltake PSUs.
You told the dude with 550 watts he was good to go for SLI. If there's one thing you don't want to cheap out on with a build, it's the PSU. Having more watts then you need is never a bad thing.

Whatever man, it's your money![]()
According to nvidia's twitter they should go on sale @ 12:01AM, don't know what time zone that is, but they also said it could take up to 2 and a 1/2 hours from then soooo now the waiting game starts.
I'd aim for 600W on SLI. 550 would be doable on an exceptionally good PSU. 500 is just a bad idea. You're spending $700 on video cards. Pony up $65-100 for a decent PSU to handle it.
If you have a stock clocked 4670K, shame on you.;P
I'll second this.
Fuck it. I'm going to bed. Set an alarm at 3AM in case they are going on sale at midnight PDT.
What board do you have, there's likely a guide. It's not really that hard to do.I have a stock clocked 4770K. It's my first build, from a few months ago. Should I overclock? I guess I haven't felt a need, and pretty worried about heat (not sure if that's a warranted concern).
Any input on overclocking would be appreciated. Like when do I know I should do it - if I'm not hitting 60 frames in something? For reference, I game at 1440p, have a GTX 780 6GB, and sitting at 16GB RAM.
Thanks for any help![]()
Ruh Roh... Why wrong with them?
if money is no problem ;3 : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I8QVR7S/?tag=neogaf0e-20
i have the 550w version and it could easly do 200-300w more
Hmmm, I'm currently running 4 GB GTX 760. Not sure if I should jump at either... may continue to wait until next year for Witcher III + 4k monitor.
You do understand the watts alone is not what you need, it's the amps going down that 12V rail. For example, the 780 needs 42 amps on the 12V rail to work. Now if the 12V rail is not pushing enough amps down that rail, then no amount of watts is going to save you. So it's not just "brainwashing" as you put it.
Really stuck between the Gigabyte and the EVGA 970.
No one but you is talking about the junk PSUs from 10 years ago. I'm talking about modern 80+ certified PSUs that deliver most of their advertised watts over the 12v rail.
Ha, it's technically not a problem, as I can afford it, I just feel like two 970s makes more financial sense than a single 980, but an expensive new power supply would almost negate that. I'm wondering if this one would do fine.

This PSU could handle either of these cards in SLI. Of course, I bought that in 2012. There's probably something comparable that's better now.
Spend a bit more and get this.

Seasonic is a top tier company. It will have no problem with SLI 970s, and it's fully modular to boot.
I don't know about now, but they used to be complete garbage. Under performing on load, consistent failures, cheap build quality.
That's a hard life.If I were to sell 1 of my 3 Titan Blacks.... I could get a Tri-SLI 970 setup for around $500 or so
omg
I am up late going through scenarios ;_;

You could also just give me one, and make me happy. *Wink, Wink*
£430 980, £259 970. that 970 is more than reasonable, and i'm not that turned off by the 980 price either considering the non-reference 780tis still go for over 500.
Where are you going to import from?
I'm thinking of using Smokey if I can't get a good price from a "real" store.
