What power supply do I need?
« on: October 09, 2011, 05:34:41 pm »
I currently have a corsair hx850 watt PSU, and a GTX570 Super Over Clock, I want to get another one and SLI it but I don't know if 850 watts will cut it. Do I need a larger PSU?

Hi

I think the HX850 power supply will be ok even with another 570. It is a good PSU, I use one myself. As long as you haven't got loads of drives or other accessories.
