Title: Help me to choose a PSU (6*7950) Post by: mediafire77 on December 09, 2013, 08:23:18 PM Hello everyone,
I pretty much have everything together for my setup, except the PSU! 6 * 7950 on MSI Z77A-GD-65 Delivery of the LEPA G1600 got cancelled today with no chance of getting this PSU anytime soon, so now I don't really know which PSU I should get. The only condition is to cost about 300€ max. I was thinking about this one: Platimax 1500W EPM1500EGT ~ 295€ http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_1&lv0=1&lv1=52&no=191 What do you think about this? Any tips from someone with more experience? Best regards :-) Title: Re: Help me to choose a PSU (6*7950) Post by: chadwickx16 on December 09, 2013, 08:29:08 PM My advice, is to get two 750+ and daisy chain them together. Less ideal yes, but might make your shipment and price requirements.

I don't, my 7950's run at 275ish... I have 1500W on 5 cards and the mobo. Title: Re: Help me to choose a PSU (6*7950) Post by: Sophokles on December 09, 2013, 09:51:04 PM I got 5 7970s on it. Whole setup pulls 1450W at the wall. So I think 6 7950 should be possible.
But you will max out the PSU. And shouldn't try overvolting or heavy overclocking without monitoring with a power meter, otherwise you might burn the PSU out. Title: Re: Help me to choose a PSU (6*7950) Post by: mediafire77 on December 09, 2013, 11:50:55 PM I would undervolt and probably overclock...
Don't really know if the 1500W one may be little too weak, but I also can't find anything like add2psu here in Europe.. Don't know what to do now :( Title: Re: Help me to choose a PSU (6*7950) Post by: Sophokles on December 10, 2013, 06:32:06 AM 1500W will be ok with undervolting and moderate overclocking. Thats what you should do anyway, to make it more cost effective.
