rKAnjEL Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I just got a Chaintech GeForce 9600GT and was thinking about getting another one just like it and use SLI.So, my questions are:Will my current PSU (HEC 450W) be enough to handle both cards on SLI?If not, how much Watts (and Amps?) are needed to ensure smooth operation?Thanks in advance.

sumant30 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Power = Voltage * Current well i hope you know the voltage... ;) :P ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 If I'm correct then it should be 12 x 19 x 2, which is 456, and that's only for the 12V power exits. You have to add 3.3 x 22 and 5 x 15 (approx 145)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
