I'm using a Hiper 580 PSU at the moment, and things run great. However, I want to add another loop (koolance, due to size restrictions and the fact that it's integrated) to cool my video cards.
__________________I currently have the 7800's in SLI, and am watercooling my CPU with a Danger Den loop + D5 pump. How do I determine if I have enough power to run everything? Thanks for any help. This setup would be pretty fun to build, and about exactly what I want, but I don't want to have to buy another PSU.

580W should be about enough to run these, though, althought I'd reccomend 700W for what you want it for.

Oh ya, I'll have plenty of power
__________________![]() I emailed Koolance, and their unit only uses 10 watts of power, anyway. The D5 is about the same, so no worries. I figgured it would use a lot more than that...
