Sli and power supply

[DFBHDTS]

Hi guys you all seem to know you way round pcs so I thought it would be a good forum to join!

Anyway I have a gtx 660Ti which I am thinking about sli with a gtx 680 when I buy one. I have a standard 700w psu but after looking inside there seems to be only two connectors booking up my 660 and no spare connectors for another psu does this mean I will have to get a new psu or is there a way of adding connectors with a splitter on the connector going to my gtx 660? If you know what I mean lol. I had my pc custom made recently as in all honesty I couldn't be arsed to do it myself and had money to waste at the time. The cables are perfectly hidden away and it seems it will be a right arse to change my psu. Any thoughts would be great! I have no pics but if that helps ill happily take one and add it to here

Thanks for your time guys

Chris

you cant sli a 680 with a 660ti. you can add another 660ti if you really want to sli.

you need to list ALL of your components in detail when starting a thread like this. that includes the exact 700 watt psu that you have and the resolution that you want to play at.

Ok well if I was to SLI two 660Ti's then. Is it possible to do it with my PSU even though I don't have an extra cable? 700W is more than enough to SLI from what I have heard so surely I could just bipass the power cords that go to my 660Ti already and add the connectors on?

Here is my full detailed list of what I have:

Vantage Black Midi Mesh Gaming Case
Intel Core i7 3770K Processor Overclocked to up to 4.6GHz
Akasa Nero 3 Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
Asus P8Z77-V Motherboard
16GB PC3-10666 1333MHz DDR3 Memory (2 x 8GB sticks)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2048MB Graphics Card
120GB Corsair Force 3 Solid State Drive
1000GB 7200RPM Hard Disk - 6Gbps
24x SATA DVD-RW Drive
Chillblast Basic 700W PSU

DFBHDTS, yeah like cannondale06 said there is no way to SLI a 660ti and a 680 but two 660ti is very doable. I'll be honest I've never heard of a Chillblast before but, if it is of good quality, the 12v line is of sufficient power, and you have the proper line splitter, your good to go. I am running a very similar system on a 675 watt Thermaltake Toughpower without any problems

Yeah ok it will be two 660s then the company who created my custom rig is chill blast. And that is their standard 700w psu. So is that all I need to do it cut the wires going to the gpu and add another set for my extra card?
