Topic: How many PSU do i need for 3x7950 (Read 1643 times)
A good 850 will do it, I get 545w from two Sapphire Vapor-X's.
I am running (3) 7950's @1050/1450 @ 1.125 V on a 750w Rosewill 80plus Gold and no problems so far, I am aware of the risks of pushing the limits of a PSU. I am getting 608kh from each card, cgminer 3.1.0, -I 20 -w 256 -v 1 --thread-concurrency 21712
This has been a very stable 1.8Mh system. Open air system, small house fans on cards, 71c temps.

ha, that's good to know.
Now I can switch my 3*7950s to the HX850 and leave the 1000w for 3*7970s
BTW, is Antec 1000 Platinum enough to run 3*7970? (not GHz edition)
4x 7950 @ 1150/1400 @ 1,25 V mining LTC = 1050-1100 W at the wall.
Are those Gigabyte 7950s?

iam running 3 7950 on an 1050W gold plus. the system pulls about 800W.
One card definitely doesn't need 300W, that's just ridiculous. How much it WILL use depends on whether you're mining bitcoins, litecoins, or whatever. How much you overclock the sucker, whether you have a good group of asics (power leakage), etc.
On average plan for that they will likely consume 200W +- 25W.

thanks for the input neil and bcpokey.
however, i was wondering if someone might know how many Watts does a radeon 7950 will need usually??
i heard one card need 300W. but i need some double confirmation.

the 80 plus rating has no effect on how much power the PSU delivers to the GPUs.
You would probably be fine with a 750W depending on your overclocks, if you run hard you might look into an 850W.

According to this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/litecoin-build-for-noobs-3x-7950s-18-mhs-in-a-10-crate-case-163306 an 850W Gold or Platinum is sufficient.
hi there,
im planning to run 3x7950 in 1mb. which PSU is sufficient? 1200W or 1000W is enough to run 3x 7950 ??

thank you.
