just bought a closed looped water cooled 1080ti, Will I need a new power supply?

[Digital Drug Lord]

I went to microcenter and went to ask if they could order me a water cooled card and when I went to New egg, there it was! for $950 the

its pretty nice, no more fan issues, or heat issues, I could leave my PC on in the blazing heat and not worry. And the price looks pretty good I think regular 1080tis went for $800-850

So I have this power supply

EVGA 500W 80Plus Power Supply Unit and it has 2x 8pin (6+2)

I have a 1070 in there, would I need a new power supply, if so which one? Is there a golden standard miners go by?

[Undefined31415]

I would not recommend using a 500W PSU for your base system, a 1070, AND a 1080ti. *Perhaps* you could get by with the right power adapters and power/clock settings, but I still wouldn't have much confidence in it for 24/7 operation.

The answer is yes! You do need a new power supply!
The webpage below reports 471W JUST for the 2 graphic cards, not counting with cpu, MB, ram, etc...
http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/
In addition, bare in mind power supply can lose 5% of capacity per year so you don't know if your power supply still holds the full wattage or if it will next year.
It is true though that the above calculation was done for max peaks of power used and you "might" be able to boot and work at idle, but still you will be totally in the danger zone.
You don't want to risk 2 expensive graphic cards with a small power supply. Get a nice GOLD rated 750W at least, or even higher in case you want to add a 3rd graphic card in the future.

[2stout]

Upgrade time, would recommend 1000W PSU so you are good for now and phase 1 future expansion, don't want to keep having to buy PSU each time you desire to expand/upgrade.

[clyjr]

FYI, for a real world comparison I run 1- 1080ti seahawk, and 2 - gtx 1070 (fan style).  Kill-a-watt says 570 watts draw, all 3 are 75% power limit.  so if you take out one 1070 (about 140 watts) you are looking at around 430 watts at the wall...

my water cooled gpu just came, so your saying I could burn the chips or mother board using my 500 watt power supply, 1 1080ti and 1 1070? Im going to need a power supply with alot of 8 pin connectors right? or can I use the adapter?

I got news for you. I run 4 liquid cooled cards and the intercoolers produce a ton of heat. Yes, the cards stay under 50C but the room will get very warm, very quickly.

[gotminer]

I'm so glad you finally got a gpu.  How long until you want another one?  Trying to figure out how long of a break we'll have from listening to you whine and bitch that gpus are out of stock or too expensive.

EVGA has a bunch online yesterday. Got some 1080 ti for $800

That comment wasn't aimed at you.  I was talking about the OP ... Lol.  Yeah I saw that EVGA had some, but every link I clicked on said you needed elite status.  I need to set that up tonight.  I'm not really dying for gpu's at the moment.  My small 24 gpu farm is enough for me right now, unless I can find some really good deals somewhere.

Are you saying the radiator will make heat? My video card just has 2 tubes connected to a fan that's a radiator.

Also the room will be hot in the summer time to so what's your point about outside heat?

You have 24 gpus? Thats alot of daily income. Are  you paying your taxes?
If so how? I want 24 gpus but I don't want to be a tax evador

You should listen to the Crypto 101 podcast on taxes in the US that was put out a few days ago.  Lots of good info there, if you're curious.

Power supplies of decent quality have protections to prevent damage to hardware in case of failure but I would not risk it. Even with good power supplies you can get a faulty one and fry something in your computer. So you spend nearly 1k or more in graphic cards but not sure if spend 100 in a power supply... It's up to you now, you asked and you have been told! Good luck!

If I recall correctly, the 750W G3 is done by Super Flower, which is one of the top-tier PSU OEMs. For a 1070 and 1080ti (and nothing wacky with your CPU/mobo/RAM/fans/drives), 750W should do the trick, assuming it has all of the connectors you need.
