Absolutely. My PSU is basically identical to yours internally IIRC. And the GTS250 uses more power than the 8800GTS, and my GTX260 uses far more than your 8800GT. And our i7s should be about the same

I think our PSUs are nearly the same but mine is based on the rev.2 and supposed to be alittle better. i think i should be fine too but just wanted alittle reassurance.
also i have no problem adding the extra card to the rig because the noise isn't going to go up because of it (unless the PSU fan speeds up) because of both of them being put under water. I am going to put a low speed 120mm fan on the side of the case to help with mosfet and vram cooling on the cards but that shouldn't add any noticeable noise.

the other day my friend came over and he was said"it's so silent" last time he was here i had air cooling and high speed fans now i have water and slower fans

Another easy answer......Yes......if my Corsair TX650W can run (4) GTS-250 and P-II 940 I'm sure that 620W will be just fine.

but can it blend?
the only thing that i am worried about now is if my watercooling can handle the heat dump of a overclocked i7 and 2 overclocked GPUs.

I'll take your word for yours being better. I got mine for $50 shipped AR, so I don't really care. It's SeaSonic based so it's good enough for me
Although I think I won't try to run 3 high-end GPUs and an OCed i7 on it, don't want to burn it out.

Maybe get another rad? A pair of 240s should be sufficient for 2 GPUs and an i7.

360 total should be enough since my i7 stays decently cool on a 120, and a 120 should be plenty for a mid-range GPU

there isn't any such thing as a bad Seasonic based psu there all good from what i have found. If mine is even just a tiny better then you still got a better deal i paid more then 2x the price.
I am running a dual 120 and a 140 so that is 380

Mine was a Shellshocker one day, and it had a massive MIR. So normally it's like $120, and at $50 I couldn't resist. Less than I paid for a Corsair VX450w.

I'd figure that rad setup should be plenty for your GPUs + i7, although I won't swear to it.

I'm really tempted to go full WCing this fall, I have enough money and it looks/cools/sounds amazing!

I am also going to be getting the NB under water in the next couple weeks so i am kinda worried about the rads . I may put the NB on hold for awhile longer and get a new rad.

 

[[Ion]]

No NB to WC on P55

If I WC, it'll probably be a CPU-only loop at first, and then I may add in a GPU block or two later. Although I'll probably need a new case with more room for rads, so I'll have to budget that in. Although I was planning on an A300 or CM 690II or something

Update on my Palit gtx280, turns out it is finished. That nice tx750 psu I had damaged not one, but 2 gtx280s. Thank gawd for Silverstone psus! Also thank gawd for Hertz, or else I wouldn't have 2 gtx260s to pick up the slack. (very busy now, can't fold full time). I still like Corsair stuff, just please don't ever offer any to me.....

Everyone,

Please send me your Corsair PSU's that Pete does not want

 

[[Ion]]

I'll happily take a TX750w
Would be a nice replacement for my current PSU (more wattage for cards)

 

[johnspack]

Aaarg, that dam corsair cost me $700! And I simply can never get that back! Can't believe it cooked 2 gtx280s. Poor Palit, they had to cover the rma on one, and it was never their fault. How could such a good psu cause so much trouble? Gawd I have bad luck....... Oh, and I bought nicorette inhalers today, $35 a week for supply, I'm going to try to quit smoking. Wish me luck. Not sure when I'll start, but I think it has to be soon.

 

[Bow]

Good Luck! its hard as hell took me about 4 months to quit altogather. Did it cold turkey and hard candy.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

good luck. this may help you out with it.

Guys, tomorrow is the day I shall retrieve the GX2 once again, this card alone should be good for about 10k a day right?

Awesome!

Should be 10-13k depending on OCs and WUs

 

[Chicken Patty]

Stock clocks for now, that thing is a heat monster, gotta see how it does with F@H.

 

[[Ion]]

Well in that case I'd guess about 10-11k, probably up to another K PPD per core with nice OCing

 

[Chicken Patty]

Still more than what I do now. This is how itll go down:

Main rig:Radeon 5770
I7 rig: 9800GX2
athlon x2 rig: 8800GTS

NICE

 

[[Ion]]

Awesome

So do you have the AX2 rig up yet?

You're going to be a FAH and WCG Superpower

 

[p_o_s_pc]

got the block for the 8800GT.It's under water folding right now running a cool 41c

 

[Chicken Patty]

Got the CPU today, hopefully will be setting up tonight. So I don't have to go through the issue of setting up multiple cards. I'll set up the spare 8800 GTS on my 3rd rig

nice that it arrived to you. Was the packing unharmed?

Wow!
My 8800GT folded at 75-80c @ auto fan speeds

You'll still have to worry about multiple clients on the GX2 rig

So you're going to be at about 15k PPD for FAH and about 11k for WCG?

 

[Chicken Patty]

yessir, all good. I'll be getting up and running tomorrow

I already had multiple clients setup for the 8800's

 

[p_o_s_pc]

would you guys say 4.9k is good PPD for a 8800GT while the rig is in use?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Mine did about 4k, a GTS. Computer never in use. Maybe you should be doing about that?
