Melting my shuttle with an X1900XTX

[uvarvu]

I have a shuttle SN26P. I had 2 x 256mb GTX's running in it, these have now been removed and I will put my X1900XTX in it when I get back tonight. This is assuming the card will fit of course which I think it will.

Which uses more volts? The GTX combo or the single XTX? This might sound like a silly question but I really don't know what the power drain on the XTX is compared with the GTX's.

Volts is the wrong term m8, its current. I would imagine the 2 GTX would draw more current.

Yeah they draw the same voltage, it's power you have to be careful of, which is determined by current draw from the PSU.

Power is wattage, and it's this that you don't want to exceed.

My bet would be the SLi drawing more power. I think tbh one GTX would draw more than a single X1800XT, but I may be wrong.

 

[The Asgard]

I think the X1800XT draws more than a GTX under load.

I think that 2 256MB GTX would draw more power from the psu that a single X1900 XT-X 512MB tbh.

The single X1900 XT-X 512MB fit perfect, I think. Just using up 2 slots in the back of the case at the back.

Got any pics of the back of the shuttle when you had the 2 GTx's in there?

Btw, what CPU you running? Its gunner be a smoking fast shuttle once you get that X1900 XT-X in there
