GTX 1070 is rated at 150W while the 1080 is 180W. That’s a total of 1230W JUST for GPUs. Typically, I shoot to have a few hundred extra watts of headroom.
Further, noise should be the smallest concern when building a rig for hashcat. Top priority should be cooling and making sure you have appropriate parts. You’d *probably* be safe with a 1600W server grade PSU, but I wouldn’t overclock and even this is really pushing the limits.
Having a weak PSU can not only degrade performance, but it may eventually damage your hardware too.
