Hi all,
I am upgrading my rig to the following:
ASrock Z68 Extreme7 gen3 mobo
Core i7-2600k CPU
Noctua NH-D14
2x4GB of DDR3-1333 ram
2x 7970 in CF (XFX DD BE + MSI Lightning)
I have two hard drives, no optical drive, 6 case fans, and about 10 USB devices attached.
My power supply is an HX750 at the moment, which I have been very happy with. However, would you trust it to deliver enough power to this rig once overclocked? I know that it is plenty to handle everything at stock, but I plan to run the 7970s at 1200 MHz core and the 2600k at as close to 5 GHz as I can get it.
My XFX 7970 requires 1.225V on the core to run at 1200 MHz, the lightning hasn't been installed yet but I assume that it will be similar.
Do I need to upgrade my PSU? I'm thinking that it might be able to handle everything but am just not sure. Really don't want to upgrade if I don't have to. If you think I do need an upgrade, what do you think of the Corsair AX-1200 as an option?
Thanks!
