Corsair TX750 for 3xCrossfire ?

[rune1980]

My question is simple, will the 750 be enough to power the 3 cards in crossfire? x58 chipset, i7 920 cpu?

The cards will prolly be 5770 or 5850'ies

I would recommend 850w quality or higher, 750 will be close to 3x5850 + i7 920 and everything else.

5850 = 170w x3 = 510 for GPU, not much room for play there at all my friend

even with 5770 you will be pushing it.

A high quality 700 to 750 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the +12 volt rail(s) can easily power a pc system with two video cards operating in Crossfire mode.

The recommendation for a pc system with three video cards operating in Crossfire mode is an 800 watt or greater power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the +12 volt rail(s) and six PCI-e video power cables of the appropriate type.

here is a link to an example of a high quality energy efficient power supply for your system:

For your setup corsair suggest 950w to 1000w for the 3x58XXs. With the 3x57XXs they suggest 750w to 950w. Here is the link to their power supply finder: http://www.corsair.com/psufinder/default.aspx

The 750w would be ok for a triple 5770 setup but would not suffice for the triple 5850 setup. Once you decide on the cards you will know your required power. I would go with a 850w for the 5770s and a 950w for the 5850s.

had a change of heart and went with a p55 board, so im just gonna do 2x and not the 3x. the 750 should be great for that right ?
