R9 290X TRIX (non Vapor) Crossfire

[Spartan MarkIV]

Will a corsair AX 760 Platinum PSU run a FX 8350 at stock clocks along with an R9 290X TRIX 8GB (non Vapor) in Crossfire? At 1080p....

Why do you want to Xfire at 1080p?
That aside, you are looking at ~600w on the 290Xs, and 125w on the processor.

If you hit full load, you likely would crash.

To help increase FPS I'm playing on a 144hz monitor... And would like to get 144fps. That's only 725w... The PSU is rated for 760

There are a few more watts tied up in drives, fans, and the works.
It is still technically within the units rated wattage, but that is counting on the unit to deliver all those watts all the time.

You could possibly squeak by with the Plat certification, personally I would aim for at least 850.

The Corsair AX760's +12V rail is a few Amps too weak to properly power two Sapphire Radeon Tri-X R9 290X in 2-way CrossFire mode with an AMD FX 8350.

^this. You don't want to get a power supply that matches exactly how many watts you think you'll consume. You want around 100W if not more of wiggle room. That also gives you a little room for upgrading in the future. Rule of thumb is to never skimp on the power supply.

Okay thanks
