can 700w run CrossFire 5870s?

[V4nger]

pretty much the title.

i ask this because going down from 750w would save a lot of money for improving the rest of my build.

Thanks,

Jake

yes it will.

 

[thingemajib]

if it has the neccessary cables (2x6 pin and 2x8 pin), then 700w should be fine.

700w will be fine, assuming your using a quality brand.

Qtec, Winpower, C.I.T, for the win?

Of course, forget Corsair & Seasonic!!

is CiT a good manufacturer? because i have seen a 750w Gold Silent for 30 quid

no, avoid at all costs, theres a reason it cost half the price of a good brand, and it wont actually put out 700watts anyway.

its a bit like when you see Hi-Fi systems for sale and some brands quote the power in pmpo, and the good brands are in rms watts

 

[V4nger]

yeah thought so thanks

Lol I had one- sold it on ok but would not even supply an 965 and 5850, 5850 squealed like heck until I got a corsair.
