Power supply for 8800GTX maybe SLI

[Blitzen]

Best PSU's on the market imo.

i got the 520w and its great. everything about it oozes quality and they are some of the most reliable on the market

They arent...the Infinit is.
Corsair - Very good
Infiniti - The best

Connectors:
20+4 Pin Motherboard
1 x 4pin ATX 12V
8 x 4pin Molex
2 x 6pin PCI-E Power <-----------------------
1 x 6pin Workstation
2 x FDD Power
4 x SATA Power

Looking at the connections it will run 1 8800GTX
but you will need to buy another PSU if you wanted to run Sli...but as I have said you wont be disapointed with 1 card.

This would run 2 cards http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=465735

I was advised against proofing for an SLI setup, so would the 520HX be enough for the 'afore' mentioned system?

[zeonblue]

I would think so as it has 2 6pin connections so it will power 1 8800gtx and 4 sata power conections for your drives.
What Mobo do you have

[moogle]

doesn't sli just increase your 3dmarks? it sure as never doubles your fps afaik.

Zeon: eVGA 680SLI, like it says on thy little 'my system' thing

moogle: they claim you get ~1.5x the performance in most big games

Anythoughts on this?

is better than the thermaltake?
I dunno...It costs more and only gives me 56A on 12V rail...

Thermaltake gives me 62A, enough to cover me even if i want to go SLI, against all advice....

*bump*

Yes the infiniti is better. It is probably the most stable and well built and best looking power supply ever. In a review I read they couldnt get the voltage to change until they put it under heavy heavy load.

I just bought an 8800GTX Ultra to go with a selfbuild i was putting together, and bought the Enermax 850 PSU, i am going SLI later in year, but because i was messed around due to the Ultra not being in stock, after upgrading from the 8800GTX Superclocked, they gave me a free PSU and Soundcard Upgrade to the
Enermax Galaxy 1000W. Nice one harry, know what i mean, wink wink, say no more.

I'm not saying that there is anything particularly bad about the Thermaltake, apart from it being a Thermaltake, but the Infiniti is an excellent PSU, and Enermax support is excellent as well.

What's wrong with thermaltake?

DevilMayCry42,

You've asked your question - you've had you answer, several times. You've clearly made your mind up you don't want an Enermax PSU so listen to the advice you've been given - and go and buy a Corsair/Thermaltake PSU instead.

No point asking the same questions over and over again....
