Heintz.G Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 If it were me i'd go fro the AX1200 psu, reason being your video cards are very power hungry especialy if you plan to O/C. Also you might plan on getting more hard drives in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw25th Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 agreed with him. better to go with the 1200watt. if you can afford 2 480s you can afford a 1200watt psu lol :D: It's a shame the power consumption is not listed entirely on all the products. You would think right? The fans if I recall only do 14-30watts an hour but i could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 18, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 18, 2010 You can find out which Corsair PSU would be recommended for your system by using our PSU Finder. The graphics cards and CPU are the major concerns when looking at power requirements. Fans are usually 5w or less, HDDs about 10-15w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
