I think your PSU can handle it! I dunno if it's modular or not, but if it is, maybe you could snag a couple extra PCI-E cables? If not a dedicated Molex line for converting should be just fine man..with the power and amperage backing you up I'm sure you'll be fine. And I know you don't wanna blow up two brand new 9800GTX's at least in the first hour right?

no absolutely not within an hour....i expect at least 3 hours of torturous operation before they kibby.

I can only imagine the bios mods, vMods and insane OC's you will pull within hours of just having those cards lol! You need to live in a freezer or Antarctica! I look forward to it tho!

fair enough but will they kick chuck norris' ass?

sneekypeet · Jul 22, 2008

Something to keep in mind Sol. I too have the PSU you are questioning. I did a ton of research prior to the purchase, and it is in fact a rebadged FSP PSU. The real point is, the FSP model that is an exact cross is a 600W model when FSP released it!

I havent run dual cards on it other than the 7600's but they dont really count. I also have had not one issue with the two I currently own handling either system!

i thought to take name's you'd need a 4870 or 280?

benchie's don't do much for me anymore...........

unless there's a naked chik there waitin' for me

The naked women is on the desktop background. If you make it throw the bench you get to take a peek at them.

i hope by "desktop background" you mean "room foreground" and get to do a lot more that "peek"

dude, awesome value on the 9800GTX upgrade given your situation

cant wait to see you OWN us all with them

together they should best a 9800GX2 overclocked, or a single GTX280!

especially with you behind the clocks

thanks man let me tell you i cant wait. like 2 more days max and they will be mine!!!! i plan on destroying damulta but dont tell him...he thinks he's tough with water...but if their anything like the 8600 than i can pull tricks out of my hat on air cooling.

Solaris17 · Jul 22, 2008

Iv decided this thread will be the offical bench and torture spot when i get the cards all results and mods will be posted here so stay tuned this week! as me and Meg already decided it will be within the next 2 days or within the week as iv returned well this will be my 6th return but since its 2 consider it 7...now you know why i want 9800's im done with the 96 series too many problems with the reference design...however having so many returns means BB wont be happy so Meg will do it and leave an employee comment telling anyone who looks at my history that im not such a tool.

Im getting 2 BFG ones here is what they look like.

man they look tough i cant wait

Solaris17 · Jul 23, 2008
