EVGA PSU Question

[ZeroGravity780]

Ok so i made a thread asking if i could sli 970s on a evga supernova 750b psu. My microcenter said it was a great psu (back when i knew nothing about computer hardware). So i know that i can sli with headroom and this unit has not given me any issues but i know its reviews are not very good and its near the bottom of toms tier list. I have had this unit for about a year. Should i upgrade to something on the top tier list? it makes me nervous....

Does it say EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B, or SuperNOVA b2

No its the crappier version 750B

The EVGA B2 , G2 , P2 . and soon to be T2 are all great units.

There are also 3 SEASONIC EVGA releases below.

The rest are FSP amd HEC releases and not very good.

I have the 750B not b2 which of the two i know the b2 is better.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

B2 is much better made by Super Flower , the other is a FSP release , not very stable.

If you have a SuperNOVA B2, then yes you can Dual SLI 970s.

If you have a SuperNOVA B, you MAY be able to SLI with a Molex to PCIe, or 8 Pin PCIe to 2x6Pin PCIe. Depending upon the peak power draw of your card. It would be safer to not risk a $300 card and trade up to a new PSU.

 

[Bossyfins]

Ehh, I recommend that you look into getting a new quality PSU

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The B is an unstable PSU should not be used for SLI.

B2 or G2 are the good ones.

 

[ssddx]

generally a good quality psu at 750w can certainly handle SLI 970's but it is suggested to run a bit more and most people will claim 850w is good.

out of evga power supplies the only ones i personally trust are the "g2" units which are made by superflower.

in short: if it were me i would upgrade but its your choice.

Dang i really didnt want to redo all my cable management lol well im going to microcenter after work then so please pick me out a very good psu. i really dont want to spend more than $120

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The B2 , G2 , P2 are all made by Super Flower.

The other 3 listed above are SEASONIC made for EVGA , those are also very good.

All of these are great choices.

 

[ZeroGravity780]

Ill have to go with seasonic thanks everyone for your suggestions and input.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Glad to help!

 

[ZeroGravity780]

OK thank you , it seems any gold seasonic will do and do you know if this comes with a 24 pin jump?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

They all come with the 24 pin power.

 

[ZeroGravity780]

They all come with the 24 pin power.

I meant that jumper thing that some come with to test it before setting it all up.
