GTX 980 G1 SLI PSU Requirement

[9ineTails]

Hi, the GTX 980 G1 SOC Windforce has a 600W cooling system and I'm wondering whether or not a 850W Corsair 80PLUS Gold PSU will be enough to provide for two of the GPU's in SLI?

The 600w cooling capacity is actually the heatsink's ability to cool, not how much energy it uses. An 850w Corsair is plenty for 2 in SLI.
