Hi,
I got my Avalon Batch #2 delivered. (France)
Unfortunately, the PSU was completely dead on arrival (Enermax GX750)
I picked up a Corsair GS800 (which is listed as approved PSU on the wiki) at the local shop. Unfortunately (again, im being lucky) Corsair released a "2013 Edition" with has fewer options than the original GS800: 2 connectors are missing.
So I recabled my Avalon but I don't have a connector for the "EPS_12V_2" since this PSU has only one "CPU cable".. so i left EPS_12V_2 empty...
Cabled:
ATX
PCIE_12V_1
PCIE_12V_2
EPS_12V_1
Not cabled:
EPS_12V_2
The Avalon started on the new PSU (which was a HUGE relief) and managed to mine during around 10 minutes... then it rebooted. I don't know if it's related to the missing EPS_12V_2 plug.
Is this bad ? Is there a risk of overloading the other rails ?
Firmware: 20130419
Any advices welcome.

Random rebooting like that is HIGHLY likely to be cause by not supplying power to all the necessary components. I think you're on the right path. You should be able to buy/make an adapter cable that can pull the power off of a PCIe power connector, if exchanging the PSU isn't an option.
