will my psu blow up?

[xxmorpheus]

Will my psu explode if I got with 2 6990 and fx 8150? I have 2 of these monsters but im scared to plug them into the psu in my sig.. Will it handle it?

 

[xxmorpheus]

shows max output capacity of 1200w. but idk

 

[claptonman]

Official, one 6990 will use 375w.

375w x2 = 750w

Plus the 8150 at 4.8ghz is another 586w...

I'm no expert, but I would be hesitant.

 

[xxmorpheus]

omg 586 watts.... yep, time for a new psu. ><

 

[claptonman]

Don't go out and buy one right away, wait for another member to comment.

586 watts for a processor?.... really?

 

[wolfeking]

That is the Overclocked FX. They really use the volts OCd, but clock like a SB-k.

I would say, yes your PSU will pop in a nice shower of sparks. You will need something in the 1350 to 1500 watt range to run Dual 6990 and the FX overclocked.

-__- guys...586watts is for the whole system, not just the processor. lol

 

[wolfeking]

In which case, your fine.

[fail] not fact checking [/fail]

Like mx344 said, the 586W is for the whole system running a GTX 590 under load.

 

[claptonman]

Yeah, that's my bad. I usually catch things like that.

That being said, I don't think I'd take the chance on running $1,400 worth of video cards using a coolermaster PS.

 

[Perkomate]

you could get 2 PSUs that are of lower wattage, say 850 watts and run them together. I believe is it Corsair? have a case that supports 2 PSUs. There was a guy I saw doing it with 4xGTX580s and an I7 990X. It was the only way he could run the computer, with 2 x 1.k kilowatt power supplies.

That's for an entire system with the CPU under load
