Default Is My PSU SLI Ready?

It's a Delta Electronics DPS-600MB (meant for XEON), but it works fine on my rig. I'd like to know if it's SLI Ready. Here's a pic of the label:



My current system:

Abit AA8XE (Soon to be NForce4/550 Chipset)
Intel 550 3.4GHZ
ATI X850XTPE
1 Sata HD, 1 IDE HD
Audigy 2 ZS
IDE RAID Card
2 DVD+/-RW's
9 Fans total (2 LED; 1 120MM, 6 80MM (including 2 LED), 2 25MM)
8 USB Ports all in use
2GB RAM

Are we good?

Don't know the brand, but definately seems powerful enough. you have four 12V rails (two of 15A, two of 16A) and a total max load of 43A on those 12V rails. Minimum recommended on the 12V rails for a good SLI rig is 35A.

If those 12V rails are stable, I think you'll be just fine.

Yeah but do you have two PCI X Connecters? If not most cards come with a conversion

Seems Delta is a pretty big company for PSUs; just not too well known to me, since they primarily build Server PSUs. Looking pretty darn good right now to me!

It can hold and SLI setup pretty well. Usually on the PSU or on its box it will say if its SLI certified.

Excellent. It only has one PCI-E connector, but the video cards usually come with a spare. It was take out of a quad xeon build holding 4 3.6GHZ with 8MB L3 each, about 16GB DDR2, 8 300GB HDs and an FX3400. I got the power supply from that system, so I wouldn't know what the box says. But, thanks for the info!

So it is a server PSU

Does it have a 4 pin motherboard connector (little square plug)? Otherwise you'll need a converter cable for that also.

Well, it has an 8PIN Xeon connection, which I found out, is essentially two 4-pin connectors and I've had it connected for quite some time now and not a hiccup. So I assume that's fine

You'll manage fine, I've been running SLi off of a single 28amp 12v Rail 420W PSU for about 2 months now and it hasn't exploded =)
But it's got to be asked, what cards are you going to run off of it? Different cards have draw different amounts of power.

That's a sure way to tell, but it seems, with 'SLi Certified Ram' floating about the market, 'SLi Certified' seems a little bit of a buzzterm.
