Hey all, just wondering if this PSU is actually big enough for my rig, with loads of overclocking room.

just to make it easier to read than sig, here are my specs

q9550 @ 4.2ghz with H50
P5Q Pro
2 x 2gb of Crucial ballistix ram
5970 @ 1000 1300
5 hard drives
dvd rw
a crap Kworld tv card I found from old pc
plus 5 fans

and the PSU is a Corsair HX 850

cheers everyone

easily big enough, it could power your street.

haha, cheers mate, just wondering because of the big jump in wattage the 5970 needs when overclocked

stulid · 20 Jun 2010 at 20:18

it could manage two 5970.

single 5970 and i7 rig power draw- http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2009/11/18/amd-ati-radeon-hd-5970-review/11

They once showed the 620HX powering 2 PC's.

I cannot remember if they had SLI in them or not....
This is when Corsair first made PSU's
