running cf 6950 unlocked to 6970, need psu advice

yuisporing · Nov 15, 2011

So I'm planning on getting a second 6950 and unlocking it but I needed advice on a psu. I had two in mind , the corsair ax 750 or 850. I was just wondering if the ax750 would be enough or should i spend more on the 850? Kind of on a budget but I don't want to barely meet the cards needs if I go cheap. Oh, and I don't plan on overclocking my CPU(older core i7 860), just cards. Thanks !

Im hoping you have a 2560x1600 monitor or a multi monitor setup for that!

You will be fine with the AX750.

I was wondering though, would the ax750 leave me head room for overclocking ? Id be running 2hdd 1 ssd and just one optical drive. Aside from all the normal components.

HDD's and SSD are nothing really (20W at most on spinup for the HDD). SSD's are a couple W.

You would be fine with overclocking as well with the AX750.

I'm running my 6970 X-fire setup on a 700w CoolerMaster just fine.

AX750 is a top quality PSU, even it you were stressing it towards its limit you can be rest assured it'd handle everything ok, compared to everything else :thup:

i'm planning to purchase one in the coming days as well!

The AX750 is a pretty beast PSU. Powers everything in my signature.
