OverKILL-3D ASUS HD7970 Quadfire Madness

Out-freekin-standing. Questions...
Given the sys setup:
4x ASUS Radeon HD7970 @ 1225MHz
Catalyst HD7970 Drivers 11.12
Intel Core i7-3960X @ 4.8GHz
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
2x Corsair AX1200W
Corsair GTX8
Corsair H100
Noctua NF-F12 Fans
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Are two 1200W PSU really needed? Did I completely overlook them, or were there no power draw figures provided in this review? Other reviews of quad 7970 (not overclocked, but under heavy load) showed power consumption north of ~830W. Would be curious to see the power consumption digits for this rig as reviewed.
Great work, hoping to match it

He needed 2 PSU's because there isn't enough PCI-E power connectors on a single PSU.
