Title: MSI-790FX-GD70 w/ 4xPCI-E PSU question. Post by: Crypto Elysium on July 19, 2013, 10:56:42 PM Hi, I just bought a new motherboard and I'm planning on filling it with 4x Gigabyte/Sapphire 7950's 3gb to mine Scrypt but I'm unsure what kind of draw all 4 of them are going to have.
What size power supply would I need for that kind of horse power and can anyone name some top end brands for me? Thanks in advance. Title: Re: MSI-790FX-GD70 w/ 4xPCI-E PSU question.

You will also need to take into account the base hardware (Mobo, hard drive, dvd drive, ram , and CPU) ...generally the base hardware stuff takes about 230 W. So I would say, you may need a 1000W PSU or 1200W if you want to be really safe. The 185 W figure is from: http://coinpolice.com/gpu/ CryptoCoinMKT |
