Seriously.

Have you never heard of mining?

If you're not going to have any input in this thread please don't bother.

Obviously for mining?

Edit: Beaten to it.

I had input, and I have heard yes.
If he has spent that much on those GPUs I would have thought he would have considered the power consumption before he went and spent the money on such devices ESPECIALLY if hes mining, given that its all about the profit.

I still stand by my first post.

A couple of Superflower Leadex Plat 1KW's would do the trick.

I have EVGA, Corsair and Enermax Platimax for over 1000W as my options.

I'm not paying to run it

Akagi · 10 Feb 2014 at 12:40

The superflower would be the best option and is cheaper I believe.

Unless you are limited to those options for some reason?

Doomedspeed · 10 Feb 2014 at 12:41

I would certainly consider the superflowers, 8-Pack tested them and at one one point the 1200W PSU was pulling nearly 1600W and not breaking a sweat (sounds stupid doesn't it?)...

Superflower make the EVGA superNova series of PSU's by the way..

Don't go for an AXi (they are awful), the AX series is better.

Akagi · 10 Feb 2014 at 12:45

Did 8 Pack push one until it went bang? If so how far did it go?

EVGA Supernova G2s are manufactured by SuperFlower. Enermax Platimax series are quality bits of kit too, but as others have said you're looking at 2x1000w or 2x1200w for those cards.

They are good units at a reasonable price. If money is no object then I would go for the Enermax.
