SLI ready psu ?

Sir.Smoke.Alot · 11-January-06, 09:58 PM

my buddy is builing a comp running SLI, he said he wants a psu thats SLI ready ...i was checkin it out and for 50 bucks cheaper you can get a psu that is identical in looks and wattage (600), BTW im talking about the OCZ power stream 600watt psu.

what is the difference in these 2 psu's ?? is it worth the 50 bucks to get the SLI ready, and what does it have that the other modle doesnt ?

sli ready usually means 2 pci-e (6 pin) power connectors

Get the SLI version, don't cheap out!

These are all NVIDIA tested and approved

I've got the OCZ SLI (520W) supply. Pay the extra cash if you're going to have a window on your rig. The wiring will look much neater if you have the 2 6-pin connectors and don't have to use the converter wires to get power to the SLI cards. The OCZ wiring is presleeved as a plastic hose-type cable on these supplies, and looks good. Additionally, these connectors are really easy to sleeve over if you want to (I did) for that extra custom look
