Will the Seasonic S12 600 Watt unit handle SLI?

[Arcanedeath]

I'm just curious a friend of mine has this PSU and 1 6800GT w/ his Dfi Ultra D / SLI board and was considering going sli as he found a cheap 6800GT of the same type that he had. (a bfg), he's also got 2 200GB seagate 7200.7's, 2x 1GB of PDP PC3200 DDR, an Nec ND-3520A, a Toshiba DVD Rom drive, and 3x 120mm fans (one cpu, intake, and exaust) the Seasonic PSU has 18A x2 on dual 12V rails I'm just wondering if you guys think it will handle the load of a pretty loaded overclocked system and another 6800GT. So thoughts...?

yes

I'm kinda worried he's going to overload one of the 12V rails if he adds another card but I guess we are going to find out

Advanced Search > "SLI" there were a _lot_ of PSU -for- SLI threads a month or two ago.

The SLI-certified Enermax 600W PSU is also 18amps/18amps.

The Seasonic will work fine... And vent better. :thumbsup:

I hope.............I'm running the same setup with a 500W Seasonic S12!

No. He needs a 700W PSU.

The Seasonic S12-600 one of the best PSUs out IMHO. I like it better than my Turbo-Cool 510 SLI

Yeah, that's overkill even for my system. (But I got it anyway!)

Maybe if he's buying a Thunder K8QW....

Thanks for all the replies guys, guess He'll be happy to know everyone has confidence in his PSU to power his SLI setup
