So get this, I got my SLI Titans (was possibly the first person to get the Titan even), and my PSU has started sputtering on me. It's a Fractal Design Newton R2 1000w. Whenever my GPUs load it starts to emit a coil whine like noise, and has been hampering my benchmarking of the cards. I've been in touch with FD USA about getting it replaced, but wanted to look around and see if people had recommendations for me on a new PSU because I have no idea how long this RMA will take. Right now my system is as follows:
i5 3570k @ 4.7ghz 1.28v
4 x Corsair Vengeance DDR 1600mhz 4GB DIMMs
Corsair H100i + 2 Corsair SP120L fans
2 x EVGA Nvidia Geforce Titans @ 28% ish OC
1 ASUS Wireless card
6 x Cougar Vortex HPB 120mm fans
Built in Fan Controller
I used the PSU Calc program on OCN (no Titan so I substituted with the 690) and got 890 watts. I'm guessing I need a minimum 900W PSU, but does anyone know what's the best bang for buck PSU in that range? Much prefer full modular. Thanks guys!
