PSU Question?

SpeckleD · 22 Apr 2013 at 10:27

I have a Corsair AX860i PSU running the following hardware:
2x Hard disk, 2x SSD an i7-930 clocked at 4.2, a D5 vario waterpump, 5x fans and a HD7970. My question is would this be capable of adding a second HD7970 in crossfire?

That range of PSU's are quite beast! I have the non-i version myself to future proof myself when Haswell is out.

Can you get hold of a power watt usage meter? Cost about £5. Put the system on load and will tell you the current draw from the wall. Always handy to have,

yeah with 2 gpus you will only need 630w according to a psu calculator, you could acc get a third 7970 in lol

Random question but why does a non-i version help with Haswell?

Does sound a little unclear, I was referring to having the same PSU for when I do my upgrade, I have the 860W, not the i version.
