Check out SweetPotato's review on this psu, it should help, says he runs x2 660Ti's. There's some other tips in their too. I think it's the third or fourth review down

This PSU has and still is serving me very well. It didn't flinch at anything I've thrown at it but I have not tried SLI. Should you are within its limits, you should also be fine with SLI.

It handles it's wattage but eventually the heat shield over the fan melts. So you're better off with a Corsair if you can afford it. I ended up replacing it after 90 days but the seller was really nice.

David, I SLI 2 Nvidia GTX 780 Ti's and they work like a charm with this motherboard.

Late answer, so I hope that you haven't had any problems. At full load, this card can consume up to 350W. I wouldn't go less than 750 for a PSU. If you plan on an OC, I'd go even higher. That being said, my CPU, GPU, and RAM are all OC'd. I've also got four HDD and one SSD, five case fans, and a 1050W Corsair. If you're considering spending this kind of money, I'd feel better knowing that the PSU voltage isn't going off course due to an overload, or that the PSU killed itself without taking casualties (fingers crossed).

The latest EVGA drivers support 3-way and Quad SLI. As others have already stated, motherboard support is the first hurdle. The second hurdle is that you would need a monster PSU. Each card can draw up to 250 W. Each card also requires 2 x 8-pin PCI-E power connectors.

I personally went with an 850W gold certified Corsair PSU but I am running 2 760s in SLI. I wouldn't go any less than 750W bronze because I have quite a bit of hardware inside. A 650 bronze would work just fine if it's a single DVD\Blu-Ray and hard drive type system though.

I have the 650w version. It says on the box that could run two 75w graphic card and a 50w cpu. I have only one gtx 250 sli, with like 10 fans and several lights. It's running fantastic. However yours will require around 700w for two of those cards. I would recommend getting 750w for overclocking or even more expansion down the road. I'm jealous btw I'm sure that card is awesome.

It sounds like you are trying to build a miner, or a HTPC. If it is a miner, it should be more than enough power. I've seen specs of mining builds with as little as 250W PSUs. However, if you are building a media server, you might want to push up the wattage to at least 550, just to be safe on the power output. On the outside, if this is a gaming machine, you might be on the low side of adequate. But, it would work. This PSU was out-of-the-box compatible with a 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Intel processor which, at the time of my build, was what was available for my price range. So, it may work well with a Haswell or later, but I am unable to guarantee it. Hope that helps!

If you want to crossfire the gpu's then I would not recommend this power supply. If you are only running one gpu then this power supply would definitely suit your needs.

It depends on what kind of GPUs you'll be using. I tried to push two GTX 780's, and it wasn't enough for benchmarking. It ran for regular games, but you really want more headroom so you're not pushing your power supply so hard.

You should be OK. I just built a steam machine with a 430w PSU and I'm running this card just fine!

It's handled a 780TI, a 4570k OC'd to 4.5, and multiple outbound power draws (external hdds, iphone, microphones, etc...) without a hiccup for months. I imagine you could SLI/Crossfire any card combo and run a stable system without a problem. Tri-card and further setups might need a little more juice, depending on the cards you go with.

Considering that on average, while running newer games on Ultra settings, I'm only using a total of around 330 watts, I would say it'll probably work. On the other hand, there's literally no reason to use two of these in SLI; even with just one I can run any new game on the highest possible settings in every area and still get 60+FPS. The second card won't do anything.

No. SLI can only be viable with 2 identical cards. The most you might be able to do is dedicate the 780 to Physx alone..but it's hardly worth the price since many games still don't utilize Physx. I'd sell the 780 and put the money towards 2 of these. Or just sli 2 780 supers. The difference is probably nominal.

Depends on what gpu you have. But do not buy this psu. Mine broke as soon as the warrenty was over. Get a corsair trust me.

Hi Jordan. A safe bet, in my opinion, would be a 600-650 watt rating on your power supply unit (PSU). That should handle an overclocked GPU, plus the needs of any CPU you might have installed, along with the usual memory configurations (8 to 16 GB), an optical drive, and several hard drives (including a mix of solid state and conventional drives). You should have power to spare. However, if you think you might want to run a dual-SLI card configuration, then I would go with an 850-watt PSU like those available from Corsair and other reputable vendors. A second card will draw roughly 170-200 watts by itself under load, BTW. Hope this helps. Hi Jordan. A safe bet, in my opinion, would be a 600-650 watt rating on your power supply unit (PSU).

I don't use dual graphics card setup,however I am 100% sure it supports it. This PSU comes with 4 PCI-E connectors. Two of them are single 8-PIN connectors and the other two are dual 8-PIN connectors. It is safe to assume it also supports 3-way crossfire or SLI.

I use two of these in SLI and have been running everything I play on max, even new games. You could probably do the same with just one, to be honest.
