Hah! finally got the new card up and running doing about 484k and after 10 minutes I hear a BOOM! LOL blew the PS!
Wow, your luck is not with you at the moment
Do not use cheap power supplies, TIP = you can tell a good one they are heavier
I'm well aware of that guess you missed my earlier posts where I just grabbed an old system out of the back to get it going while I worked on the bamt issue. And the PSU was a 450w so it should have been able to handle 1 GPU. Gotta love these shit companies that get away with over stating the wattage.
I have mostly PC Power and Cooling PSU's. I've got 2 silencers running now and my other system crunching is on an Antec.
In comparison I woke up the other day and there had been a fan failure so my backup fan kicked in at max and sent my draw up to 800+ watts on my 750 PcP+C silencer and it handled the load without an issue. Tell me how many other PSU's can handle that abuse?!
For anyone that really wants to know about power supplies or needs to find out whether to buy one this is the site to goto.

If I ever get around to It I'll post a PSU I created bye placing 2 400w psu's in one case with a simple relay circuit. Back in my old folding days they didn't make over 750w PSU and I got sick of using multiple ones. These days The GPU's have only gotten worse!
actually just found an old pic of it while I was makeing it during the chimp challenge and needed a ps real quick to keep those gpu's folding.
My franken_PSU on the ghetto_Rig. Worked perfect for the weekend of the challenge and we were #1 in the world.
