I've been thinking about adding another GTX285 to my sig-rig but I'm not sure if the Silencer 750 is up to the task. It has 60A on a single rail BTW.

Keep in mind I'm running an overclocked i7/X58, four SATA HDD, and all the case fans off this as well.

What do you think?

You may be cutting it close with that psu. Here is a comparison chart showing the 285 against other gpus. At load it uses around 300watts so for two go figure. http://hothardware.com/Articles/NVID...eiled/?page=11

I think that was full system load btw.

GXT285 is a 183w GPU and draws about 160w on load. Oced i7 may take up to 220w depending on voltage/speed. The PCP&C 750w can do 60a/720w on 12v so it should be fine.

So that's a total of approx 580w based on what you listed.

Thanks both of you for the help +rep
