It should enough,the 6950 is power efficient @ 150-200 watts load x 4=~ 800 watts.Only question would be do you plan on overclocking as those recommendations can certainly increase due to overclocked power requirements.Title: Re: PSU requirements for quad 6950? Post by: 1905 on August 15, 2011, 05:55:43 AM overclocking power at 20% so 240w x 4? 960w? cpu = amd athlon II x2 255.3 3.1ghz 2mb, and 1 4gb stick of ddr3. will that be enough? also do i increase hashrate on my gpus by having a better cpu? if so is it sufficient? thx
