Watercooling power needs question

[mattcrane]

I have no intention of custom cooling loops just yet but its something I may want to do in the next year or two.

Currently using a AIO for CPU cooling.

However I am replacing my 6year old power supply in the next day or two along with a new case and was wondering is the EVGA G2 750w enough for 2 x Ref 980's in Sli setup plus a full custom loop with pump and 6fans etc.

GPUs will be at stock but CPU has a mild OC.

Not sure if this makes any sense

It will be more than enough. I've got one of those and I am extremely pleased with it.

In gaming, I don't expect your system to pull more than 550W from the wall, so 750W is plenty. Proof: http://www.eteknix.com/testing-nvidias-geforce-gtx-980-4gb-graphics-cards-sli/16/
Also, the 750 G2 is SLI-ready, so you're good to go.

One thing I would add is that your CPU might be a bit of a bottleneck for a 980 SLI setup. But you can ask this in the Graphics Card section if you want

Cool thank you its kinda what I expected but always nice to have confirmation

As for the CPU if I do go SLI I will upgrade to i7 at the same time, as the motherboard I have wont run SLI anyway so will buy all 3 together so it wont be for a year or two I should think unless I get the cash saved quicker
