Question 1

will i be able to use the gtx 770 off this PSU?

Accepted Answer

Look at how many watts each component of your PC build will use (on the component, or specs in documentation or on the web), add them all up, including fans, EVERYTHING, then purchase a semi-modular or modular PSU (power supply unit) of a greater wattage output rating. Ex: If they add up to, say 640w, maybe buy a 750 watt PSU (probably not a 650w). GAME ON!

Question 2

I have two questions. 
1. I have about 360 to 380 watt out put from EVERYTHING my computer will have. Would this be a good pick? I do not want to confine a Power supply to are minimum I want some room for future improvement.
2. Would you recommend this Power supply? I saw a review from 3/31/16 I believe it was and it spooked me a little.

Accepted Answer

Hello ... I purchased this power supply for the first time almost three years ago.  It worked like a champ for three years straight.  I am a heavy user (the computer was on 24/7) and in  the third year I did have a failure of the power supply.  Although that may sound bad it was not .. Corsair shipped me one right (free of charge) out and had it back up and running in no time.

I have purchased and used many different power supplies for different applications and found this one is a good unit.  I would recommend this power supply.

Question 3

Will this. Psu run a fury x. I got a i5 4.5 , 1 ssd , 1 1tb hd, cd drive and 4 fans?

Accepted Answer

I think it does but you're better buying a 750W power supply , it gives more headroom For future upgrades

Question 4

My motherboard has a 4 pin cpu power slot but it appears this has an 8 pin cpu end I wanted to see if it was a split 4 and 4 before I went ahead and purchased this? The help would be much appreciated :)

Accepted Answer

It is split.  From the Corsair manual (on page 5):

4. Connect the eight-pin +12V (EPS12V) cable to the motherboard.
 A. If your motherboard has an eight-pin +12V socket, connect the eight-pincable directly to your motherboard.
 B. If your motherboard has a four-pin socket, detach the four-pin from the eight-pin cable, and then plug this four-pin cable directly to your motherboard.

It's a great power supply.  Mine has been running non-stop for over a year now with no issues.

Question 5

I have 2 R9 4Gig video cards bridged, a AMD 4.8GHZ 120mhz CPU and 16 Gigs DDR4 Memory. And I am running 2 2k Monitors. Is this power supply good enough for this type of system? I also wanted modular because I want to use the cables I only need and nothing more, just to keep it clean.

Accepted Answer

There is a site called pcpartpicker dot com which lets you to add components for your build. Add this PSU and the Graphics card and other items and it will tell you if there is some issue/incompatibility.

Question 6

Would this fit in a Dell Optiplex 990 Small For Factor?

Accepted Answer

No the SFF computers use custom power supplies.

Question 7

How many +12V rails does this power supply have?

Accepted Answer

It, like many current gold and platinum rated power supplies, has one +12v rail. A 51w +12v rail on this one.

Question 8

Does anyone know where I can purchase additional cables?  I have been looking everywhere, and I don't want to buy a full top-of-the-line set from Corsair.  I just need a couple specific cables.

Accepted Answer

This phone was not delivered by the vendor.
