Power Supply Good Enough For GTX 580 SLI???

[Chaosdarkknight]

I have the following system, and want to know if my PSU would be good enough to run GTX 580 SLI?

I5 2500k @ 4.8Ghz running on an a Asrock Fatal1ty Intel P67
3 X 2Gb G.Skill 1600Mhz @ 1.5v
3 X Ocz SSD's
1 X DVD Optical drive
1 X 200mm Fan
8 X 120mm Fans
1 X Laing DDC1+ Ultra 18W Pump

I have a Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 850W would this be okay!?

Many Thanks

yes

 

[Chaosdarkknight]

yes

Quick, prompt and just what I like to hear, thank you!

Is that showing 620 watt for the whole system, or just the cards in SLI?

 

[stulid]

the whole system.

from Anandtech it uses a 1366 i7 test system

Thanks for all your help.

Can I ask you something, is this forum electronically integrated into your brain or something?! As it must be like some sort of Heads Up Display, when any someone posts up a question, it pops up and alerts you in your head, so you can always be the first to post an answer! It's great; you always seem to be the one who answers all my questions. lol

I am the forum, you are talking to a bot.

blue or red pill?

Yes that's why the bot has to go to work and earn money. That is also why he has a niece because he is a bot.

Tested my single 580 with the system in my sig, running prime & Furmark together I was pulling 500w from the mains.

Also I have the Swiftech water pump.

i thought an 850 watt was only good for 570's, and you needed a 1kw to be safe with 580's with extra kit too

replace the number 5 with the number 4

The 480's were high power usage, pulled extra 115w~ with Furmark, I did not do the mod with Furmark when running the 580.
