What PSU are you guys using for SLi?

I am about to build a dual 6800GT SLi rig, but I'm stuck on which PSU to buy. Can anyone give me some of the better PSU names that are good with SLi and will be enough for 2 6800GT's?

thanks :)

Wow thanks for the fast replies! C_X, how is that 520w keeping up for you? Is it more than enough? The reason I ask is that I am also going to be watercooling my video cards and I will be putting VapoChill LS on my processor. I need it to support the system and have a little headroom as well :)

Thanks for the replies!

My dual 6800TD cards(at 465mhz core) work just great with a tagan480watt.

If that's the case, I'll save $70 by getting an OCZ 520w instead of a 600w.

Thanks for the help guys :)

it is more than enough, i have no windows warnings that there is to low power or something like that so i think the 520 is just ok.

You shoudn`t have problem with around 520W quality (OCZ... PC&PCP or something like that... Zippy...)... Me and Bigtoe were talking about that at CeBIT. 420W was enough to run a 6800U, 1Gb of ram, FX55, DFI NF4, 2x raptor, etc.... IIRC that are the correct spec, sorry Tony if that are not the actual part;).

I use an OCZ 520, as well. One item to note. MDZCPA uses the PCP&C 510 SLI, and noticed improved overclocking. That is the PSU I will be moving to in the next little bit.

Hey yeah, I have been using a 400w Zippy to power my 6800GT SLI rig, but I am thinking I am putting it to its limits...
