Would 1200W be enough for 3 580's??

 

[sanj]

Sanj, could you recommend a decent case for GTX 570's in SLI ?It's about 10 to 10.5 inches long reference to brand design.

Thanks

Hiya,Haf922 or CM690 would suit your need's.

 

[MadMan]

hi sanj, I was wondering if the haf 912 is good for crossfire 6870s and can this be done on the p8p67le board? Thanks

 

[sanj]

hi sanj, I was wondering if the haf 912 is good for crossfire 6870s and can this be done on the p8p67le board? Thanks

Hiya mate,to be honest the 912 would be a little too small to provide enough cooling seeing that you are wanting to crossfire,so I would say the Haf922 would be my choice as the hard drive bay's would not interfere with good airflow,i'm pretty much sure the P8P67LE support's crossfire but you would lose performance if you tried to use Pci-e(1x) slot's as they share bandwidth with the second Pci-e(16x)slot.

Note
*1-1: The PCIe x1 slots share the bandwidth with the PCIe x16_2 slot.
*1-2: Due to the CrossFireX™ limitation, DO NOT use the PCIe x1 slots when you install two CrossFireX™ graphics cards on both the PCIe x16 slots to set up a CrossFireX™ configuration.
*1-3: To disable the PCIe X1 slot, refer to the Onboard Devices Configuration section in the BIOS for details.

Haha!You're not far of but that chap had 2x HD6990's and two 480gb Vortex ssd's,and two 2TB WD black drive's and 4 monitor's,other than that it's almost identical!

Thanks so theres no point in crossfire on that board if i will lose performance.

 

[sanj]

Thanks so theres no point in crossfire on that board if i will lose performance.

You will only lose performance if the Pci-e(1x)slot's are being used other than that it'll be fine,wireless and sound card's can be bought in both pci and Pci-e so should'nt affect anything.

 

[Flatsix]

qhy are you SLiing 570s when you could get a 580 then SLi it in a short while

New gen gpus are coming out Q1 of the next year, as recently stated everywhere, so that's a no no I guess.

Sanj, Gtx 570's and this case on the thread ?Not too cramped up, or restricting airflow ?Thanks

 

[MadMan]

Thanks again so will they run at dual x8?

 

[Fear]

Would 1200W be enough for 3 580's??

Lol the config said with the 20% allowance it would need 1212W

Haha!You're not far of but that chap had 2x HD6990's and two 480gb Vortex ssd's,and two 2TB WD black drive's and 4 monitor's,other than that it's almost identical!

Tbh sanj i didn't think i would get a build up that expensive without even adding any monitors lol

 

[Flatsix]

Guys, can i fit 570 SLI in this case ?What's the best case with proper cooling for that ?

Thanks

 

[UndeadJack]

To check, put SLI with the case and if not it will give a warning

 

[Wozza63]

imo id get a 580, a 1050W PSU and a better case, you should then have some cash left over and you can save up for another 580 when a 580 becomes weaker
