fwiw,
Corsairs HX series (mfg by seasonic) are rated at 50c.
drfan,
I've read reports of people getting their GTS's and in some cases GTX's to work on psu's that would seem under rated for the job. The problem is that determining whether a psu has enough juice can be a very spotty prospect. Just because one persons 480W neo power works is no guarantee that another persons will also work. As Cheezy said, operating temp can play a big role in this. People usually sidestep the issue by buying more power than they actually need. System mfg's are able to get away with lower wattage psu's because they are able to test their systems and know exactly how much current draw they use as well as what temps their psu's operate at when running in the system. If you're confident it's not your psu, you might want to think about an OS wipe and re-install. Sometimes driver cleaner isn't enough.
*edit*
Just thought of something, what happens if you put your 6800gt back in the system? Have you tried a different driver? _________________

Yea, 64 bit XP sucks... I know I run it.
600W for 2 8800GTS's... I wouldn't. If I were to look at that math again 26A * 2 = 52A. The 600W is 49A.
Heck if you look at the site, the quad 750 is the one certified for the 8800GTX's, so that would be the one I'd go with.

So... any questions on which one uses more "juice" from the system? |
