Crossfire R9 290s PSU

[ARMA_COMMANDO]

Hi, I have a Corsair 750W gold RM series about 7 months old. I have a an i5 4670k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz. I currently have an Asus R9 290 DCII installed and was wondering if the PSU would be able to handle the R9 290 gigabyte OC edition that is arriving today. I use it for arma 3 mostly.

What would be the effects of me trying the 2 cards on that psu out? Will it fry everything if it cant cope?

If the psu isn't enough I'll just sell the card as it's an RMA anyway so don't really need two. Just bought the other one incase I was waiting a long time!

If you need any other info just ask.

Thanks

Mike

You'll be alright for the moment.

If it helps, I just ran Firestrike Extreme with cards at stock (+50%) / Cpu at 4.8 and it peaked at 620W @ the wall.
I would upgrade it at some point though.

if you pull to much power the psu will just turn off. its a good make so you wont have any issues
