Title: Will 1600W GOLD PSU handle 4x r9 290? Post by: bmL on January 10, 2014, 11:20:59 AM Hello,
I've just ordered: 4x MSI RADEON R9 290 4GB DDR5 Enermax / Lepa G1600 1600 W GOLD AMD sempron 145 8gb memory 64 gb ssd Do You think that this PSU will handle 4 cards at stock? I've also ordered multimeter so my plan would be to run it at stock and then check if I can OC it or not. Also another technical question to You pros: If I go over PSU limit will it: 1. fry PSU 2. fry almost everything 3. run unstable (freeze etc.) 4. random from above Title: Re: Will 1600W GOLD PSU handle 4x r9 290?
