610Watts enough for sli?

[NathanP2007]

I have the new PC Power & Cooling 610 Watt PSU( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3247723&CatId=1483 ). I already have a Evga 8800gt on my M2N-Sli deluxe mobo, if i want to go sli with another 8800gt, is my PSU good enough? Or is it right on the edge (aka would be working hard and under stress) or is it just plain and simple not good enough?
Thanks

The nvidia website doesnt list the 610 under its SLI 8800gt's approved PSU's.

Yes its the pc in my Signature

Should be perfectly fine, but it depends on what else you have in your pc... I'm assuming it's the pc in your sig, which reallly doesn't seem like it would be a problem whatsoever. I say go for it.

The 8800 GT draws about 100W at full load, so two is 200W.
If you don't have any other resource hogs your 610 should be fine.

I had dual 8800 GTs in my sons computer for quite a while, coupled with an overclocked Q6600 and it ran fine off a Corsair 750W PSU.

Only thing I didn't like about the 8800 GT was the fan sounded like a leaf-blower above 40% and they run hot, so you need 75-80% fan to keep them cool.....

Based on the information in your sig, it should be fine, as far as I know, the ps you currently have is one of the better ones too.
