Title: 850w psu with 3x 5870 Post by: ricm on January 05, 2014, 04:09:04 PM A question to forum experts :)
I have the following hardware 1x Sentey SDP850-SS 850w http://www.overclockear.com/images/upload/reviews/Sentey%20SDP850-SS%2014.jpg 3x ati 5870 1x intel i3 2120 (tdp 65w) 1x MSI Z77 g43 http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G43.html 1x HDD 320gb 1x 2gb ram stick 1x USB wifi 2 5870 will be powered tru pcie cables and the third shoud be powered using molex to pcie cable. Can the psu stand my Hardware? PSU engine says it will be enough 700w but that sounds wrong. Title: Re: 850w psu with 3x 5870 Post by: Slander on January 05, 2014, 05:25:14 PM No problems at all.
