Is my psu ok for 2 x r9 280x?

[mafia]

Is the 750W Seasonic X-750 enough for 2 x sapphire r9 280x dual?

I'm looking at over clocking my cpu soon as well

[skydiveguy]

Yes. Im running 2 @ Sapphire R9 280X's off a Corsair 750 watt.

Ok. Thank you!

[mafia]

yes, that was what i was thinking. But I was hoping some forum members may have 2 x 280x and my psu mining coins

I know that at idle "entire system", with one of my 280x killawatt read@ 100 watts. @mining alt. coins it jumped to 390- 400watts my killawatt said.

I am just chipping in my experience with one 280x and a killawatt.

ok, that doesnt sound good. anyone else?

It really depends which algo you are using it to mine, if you are mining scrypt-n with overclocking then x750 is enough but it would not last long (almost 100% usage). If you are mining x11 then it would be really good cause the usage is only like 50%.

to be safe always use a surge protector with mining eqp http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2121504
I was running two msi r9 280xs off a 850w and it fried itself

Very true. Just about anything even an old tv, use a surge suppressor.

Here's mine to protect my investment. Not all products have arrived yet. But my surge suppressor had. Scroll through the thread.

I have a APC 1000 UPS for my system - so it should be ok?

[mafia]

interesting

i might just go with the one r9 280x then...

[Amph]

if you mine x11 you can four 280x with that psu

Very true it also depends what algo you are mining, any scrypt will be hardware intensive.
