Title: Questions about power supplies Post by: phaddie on January 14, 2014, 02:38:45 PM Hey guys,
Right now I have an OCZ GameXstream 750W which powers my single r9 290 rig. My motherboard (asus p87 deluxe) can handle up to 4 GPU. I also have a Corsair HX850 power supply. Will I be able to power 4 r9 290 with these 2 power supplies? I was thinking that the ocz powers the mb,cpu,ram, and one GPU. The corsair does 2 gpu and I find a way to creatively power the 4th gpu off of both units (if possible). Thoughts? Cheers.

4 290s at stock clocks / volts is ~1200-1300w. Title: Re: Questions about power supplies Post by: phaddie on January 15, 2014, 01:37:12 PM Thanx,
I may only be able to add one card at a time, I am thinking that hx 850 on its own should do 2 r9 290 and the system if I am just at stock clocks correct? Phad |
