I've got 2x 1000w platinum PSUs to power the 6 gpus. Should be enough. While testing though, I've only got the 3 connected with 1 of the PSU. I think 1000w is enough to power those 3 cards though...
No Prob.
The 390x's shoudl draw stock about 250watts each, the 280x's about 230watts or so. (as long as they are good quality cards).
'Most' 390x's you can undervolt and get back about 10-20% wattage, some more, some less.
I run all my 390's (non 'x') at 100mv undervolt, 1100/1500 settings (stock is 1015/1500) and they use 200-210watts each while getting around 29MH+ now.
Solo mining has been earning me 50% more than pool mining for the past week so I'm sticking to it. Some days I get 1, some days I get 5 blocks.
