Which psu you go to?

Thermaltake TR2 600W. It's nothing impressive but it works and I was able to pick it up locally.

I will check it out. Really wish to start it by today but I cannot pick up any power supply locally other than Newegg. They don't do will-call on Sat and Sun, have to wait till Monday. Cry

Thank you anyway.

I had the exact same problem with two different PSUs, 1 500W and 1 350W. Neither of them had dual PCI-E connectors and I was also using an adapter. I finally went and bought a PSU with two PCI-E connectors and had no issue after.

Hi guys,
I received my Cube an hour ago. Had my power supply ready to boot it up. When I boot it up, a few seconds later, it produce a "click" sound then turn itself off along with the power supply. Tried it couple times but no luck. I am using a Corsair CX430M power supply. It only has 1 PCI-E connector, so I use another 2x molex to PCI-E connector. I also try with another 2x molex and 1x molex but still... To me it seems like the power supply problem. Any advice would gladly appreciated.

Here is the link to the power supply at Newegg:

The startup load is triggering your overload protection circuit on your Power supply. Its not really overloaded , probably just a spike as the ASIC's are powered up. If your cube has been sitting in the cold, make sure they warm up to room temperature and try powering on a few times, you might get lucky.

I had the same issue and had to get a larger power supply. After I had gotten a new power supply, I also seen a workaround to install a capacitor at the molex plug. Search Dogies cube setup thread for more information on that.
Cheers
