hello i have the above modular power supply running a i7 3770k (O.C. to 4.5ghz) in a sabertooth z77,16gb ballistix ram, gtx 560ti 2gb, one ssd, two hhd in raid. one cd drive, and a h60 cooler.
nothing too intensive, its for home use and gaming. just wondering if i went sli would my power supply be enough? i ask as the power supply is modular. i only have 2x6-8pin gpu power leads. the 560 gtx uses both of them but only six pins per power lead.
if i went sli would i have to power each card off of one power lead with a splitter. or split each lead and connect socket 1 on each of my gfx cards to one lead then connect socket 2 on both of my cards to anther power lead
or do i need a better power supply with four seperate gpu power leads?
bear i mind 2 splitters are less than a tenner and a new psu is over 100
can i get by with my power supply?
thanks for any advice
