gtx 660 ftw and sli

[dkoc1627]

I have two EVGA GTX 660 FTW cards and a Corsair 860i PSU.

I got these cards to run in 2-way SLI but saw in the manual a min of a 1000watt PSU is required to do this.

Will the 2-Way SLI work or do I need to get a bigger PSU?

There is nothing else in the system but a small SSD and I'm not over clocked. Also the motherboard is an ASUS Z87-WS.

Thanks

Hahahahaha no no dude that 860i is an incredibly good PSU... That thing will be good for a few years to come! It will work fine for 2 660`s!

That's BS! 860i is a BIG overkill for your build.

What`s BS? He already has the PSU, no use being critical now... Now he has the thing for the future. Mine is OP for my system too but I`m happy anyways...

Relax mang, that's not what I meant. I was saying, it's BS about 1000W PSU for X2 GTX 660's. A 650W PSU would be enough for X2 660's.

Hahahahahaha I apologize for my misinformed overreaction... But yes that 1000W thing, I don`t know what box you read that from but it must have been on one of the doors at Google`s data-center...
