Will this PSU work with gtx 260 SLI

[chuubaka]

I am looking for a power supply that can handle two gtx 260 video cards in SLI. I am looking for the best bang for the buck. Please let me know if this any of these two will be okay and if not recommend others. Thanks.

I wouldn't buy either of those.

Zalman is a good one....very good quality. Also there is the Corsair HX 1000 or any Thermaltake PSUs that have the right amount of PCI E connections are fine

those will work but you dont need to spend the much on a psu for 2 gtx260.
something like this would do fine.

none of these PSU that u guys are posting say that they are certified for the gtx 260 sli. the ~750 watt power supplies will say certified for 8800 ultra or lower and some say 9800x2 sli certified or lower. Does that really matter?

Is the 260 gtx/ 280 gtx more power hungry than the 9800 series cards?

Thx

They totally overate those cards when they do the certification. U need to use available power supply calculators, all of which show lower than what Nvidia certifies

 

[br3nd064]

Nvidia overrates what power the cards use. Any of the power supplies that invisik or I have posted are good.

Here is an example look at my sig. it has the specs of my rig.
if you notice im running a quad @ 3.2ghz and 2 gtx260 in sli oc with only a 500w. i maybe pushing it too much on my psu. that is why i am recommending 600+watts.

I have to agree with the others. I do not recommend buying either of the two psu's you listed. I have been using Corsair power supplies and have not experienced any problems of any kind. They are high quality units.

Manufacturers do not always keep up with their lists of approved items. The lists do not mean that an item will not work with the manufacturer's product. Technology moves at a fast pace and there are newer, better, improved items being introduced all the time. Motherboards and approved lists of RAM are a prime example. Not only are new mobo's being introduced at an unusually fast pace but there are literally too many RAM variations for all of them to be tested. There must be thousands of possible combinations. Video cards are another example.

Good Luck!

Stick to Corsair or PCP&C for your PSU, or if you have the dough, check out Enermax. Enermax Galaxy is top notch.
