Need help I'm getting another TITAN

ITANI · 18 Jan 2014 at 23:52

But my question is will my power supply be enough to run this system with 2 TITAN's? Here is my system specs:

Intel Core i7 3970X Six Core 4.4ghz Overclocked
nVidia GeForce GTX Titan 6144MB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card
32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866MHz C10 Quad Channel Memory Kit
Asus Rampage IV Intel X79 Motherboard
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD
Samsung 840 Pro 512GB SSD
Seagate 2TB Barracuda Green 32MB Cache SATA II Hard Disk Drive
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
Corsair H100i CPU Cooler
Corsair AX860i PSU

Overclocked anything (or intend to?)

Both Titans will be running on stock only thing OC is the CPU as stated above. Appreciate the reply.

I would imagine your Psu will be up to running 2 Titans and OC everything.

Even with overclocking the titans?

Should be fine, a system with two at stock uses < 500 W (measured on the mains side), so you could probably do a decent overclock and still have headroom.

It's not the way I'd spend the money though.

Well problem is I already have a TITAN, so it would be better just to purchase another one for SLI rather than purchase 2 780TI's. I use it for video editing, rendering and gaming at 1440p.

Have a read through the review. I also read that a Titan OC`ed to 1176mhz only uses about 270W at full load. So with a conservative estimate of 300W per card at 100% load, your Psu will cope.

If it does get near the limit of the PSU will the PSU become loud or will it stay quiet as it has been?

your psu fan may run faster but I doubt it, most psu fans run at full when your gaming so adding another gpu in wont make it run any faster.

So you also think that the 860i will definitely be enough to run this with an extra TITAN and I won't notice a difference in the sound of the PSU or performance?

Exactly.

Thanks mate cause some have told me no elsewhere and everyone here has said it will. Just making sure.
