Is my PSU good enough?

[hen555]

I have the Ultra LSP 650W
Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan, Lifetime Warranty at UltraProducts.com

I am running 6 gigs of ram DDR3
I7-920
EVGA GTX 285 1gb


Is this good for my setup? My computer runs and all but am I running it on its limit? Will I be able to overclock?
If not then will I be able to run a 2 way sli with another GTX 285 in the future?

Can sli work with any GTX200 series or has to be with the same?

from what i remember, i may be wrong, sli has to be with the same cards, only crossfire can use 2 different types, like 4870 and 4850.

your psu is definitely fine for one 285, but i heard that the in requirements for one is 550 (always over exaggerated, but still), i don't think you could handle 2.

I can't find much info on that PSU, but since it's Ultra's low-end line, I wouldn't put too much faith in it. And you would need a second GTX285 to run an SLI setup; like BrianHanna pointed out, you cannot mix cards in SLI.

This will be a first.

Its not their low end line. That is Ultra LS series.
LSP is their Professional Series, and if you run the UL number you will see its Andyson AD800 Platform I do believe (If I still had my LSP750 I'd know 100%).

Regardless, I wouldn't Run SLI on 285s with that nor any other 650.

Get something like a Silverstone Strider Plus 750/850W and you'd be right in the sweet spot of 60% load and 88% efficency on that platform.

I would run the UL number, except Tigerdirect didn't think it was necessary to put up a picture of the PSU label, so I have no way of finding the number. In any case, you can't trace a platform using the UL number, and there isn't enough info available about that PSU to figure that out.

Yes and No.

I have had one Opened up. So I know what LSP is based on (again, if memory serves me correct).
The UL # will tell you its Andy. Trust me mate :)
