Double checking if my PSU meets SLI requirements...

[toon_mad]

My PSU is the Corsair RM850 Gold, would this be good enough for running two 980 Ti's in SLI as I would like to add another 980 Ti and double up, the responses of what I have read seem to mixed so would like more clarity if possible before going ahead.

PC Spec:

Corsair RM850 Gold
i7-4770K @ 4Ghz
Corsair H100i GT
EVGA GTX Reference 980 ti
16GB DDR3 Avexir 2400Mhz
Maximus VII Hero
1x 5TB Hard Drive
1x 1TB Hard Drive
1x 256GB Samsung 840 SSD

Thanks

Going from reviews, systems running SLI 980ti's have a power draw ranging from 545-652w. There was one exception that was a heavily clocked X99 system with a pair of heavily clocked Asus 980ti Matrix cards and even then power draw was 721w. This is measured at the wall so the power draw from your psu to your components will be even less. Seeing all that I would say you have plenty of headroom left over.

That's reassuring as things can often seem like a gamble with conflicting information from various sources.
