Is this a good power supply for crossfire 5870's? I just sold mine and need a new psu asap!

Thanks for your help.

Absolutely not. From the specs, it is a 600w PSU at very very best but I will be it is less than a 500w unit.

Stay away from RAIDMAX or any PSU that have a red switch in the back.
Once again...

Don't cheap out on your PS imo...

I personally like Ultra, I've used a half dozen of them over time and not one has ever failed. Currently using the X4 600watt, completely modular...

edit* even if you can't afford the X4 you can still get a quality Ultra PS for about the same price: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...769&CatId=2533

The Ultra X4 line isn't that great and it's definitely overpriced, and the Ultra LSP line is downright crap. Please don't recommend those.

I second that recommendation. Great price, great PSU.

i believe it was proven that its a mediocre 400 watt and is likely to go boom over 500 watts
