Is my PSU good enough...?

I've been running the rig in my sig below (with SLI 670's) on my great but aging 6 year old antec 650w (TP trio) for the last 5 months or so.

It worked absolutely fine, but when both GPUs were under heavy load the fan in the PSU used to ramp right up, and it made me nervous to be honest. It felt like it was really gunning and I think I was really pushing the limits for my system.

The antec 650w (TP trio) is rated at 624W +12 V so not so bad, but running an over spec PSU helps a lot with noise. :)
 
It will be fine, but the PSU will ramp up its PWM fan which will totally defeat the point of having a silent PSU. So you will proberbly want to consider a new one.
