i had a no-name 500w psu that I got free with a case from newegg that I tried running 2 6870's with.  After a couple mins the whole room stunk with a burnt electrical smell, I powered down and removed the psu before it could blow up and take my cards with it!

i was thinking to do it, but somehow managed to revive it. I'm not gonna try to mine on both cards now, at least until i can get a better psu in couple of days.

2 yrs old 550w BFG psu can't handle the load.

No need to use dummy plug, while waiting for 11.7  Grin

I can run 5770 + 5830 for couple of minutes before my power supply blew up.  Tongue
