rjbarker Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hey guys...looking to add a 3rd GTX 280 to my Rig, this 1kW going to cut the mustard? My I7 is OC'd to 3.8 Ghz All 3 GTX 280's will be OC'd to around 675 Mhz core 2 HD's 7 x 120 mm Fans Here's roughly what I get: 3 x GTX 280's approx. 720W 1 I7 @ 3.8 Ghz approx 250W Thats 970W...hows my math look...is it really cutting it that close? Let me know what your thoughts are please. Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 5, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 5, 2009 I would suspect that the HX1000 would power this configuration with no problems at all. The HX1000 is honestly a bit under-rated when it comes to total wattage output, so you will have a little bit more overhead than you expect.

amnios Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Well I just did. I hope it works. So GFX card A is hard wired GFX card B is in one blue slot vertically GFX card C is in the second BLue SLot vertically http://www.corsair.com/products/hx1000/photo2.jpg I will have enough juice for three of these under full load? And an OC i7920 with 6 gigs triple channel and like 7 fans, 2 SSD's, and 4 conventional HD's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
