Title: Power Post by: l33 on June 27, 2011, 11:12:56 PM What is a good power supplies to support 4 5850s? Just looking for some ideas. Thanks.

I am extremely satisfied with the Sharkoon Rush Power series: they have 4 connectors, so with 2 (500W version for enough power on 12V rails) of them you will have no problem powering your rig. http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/rush-power-m (http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/rush-power-m) Title: Re: Power Post by: sohum on June 29, 2011, 10:46:36 AM http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171055&Tpk=1200w
It is pricey but it is a great psu, quiet and has 8 six-pin pci-e power. I currently have it in a rig running four 6870s.

Right... So do I really need to buy a 1200W PS. I was looking into a few 500w PS. |
