Need a bit more juice? doubt it but Corsair has one for you to consider.

Found it at http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/484

OMG, how many amps? :eek:

Wingz · 16 Oct 2007 at 13:45

says two independent +12v rails each with 40amps

lol nice. Seems a bit low on the amps though *eek* flame incoming!!!

EDIT: Was gonna say... what a naff review.. then went up and it says PREVIEW lol. Strange they only used 2 rails, surely you'd want 3? One dedicated to CPU and drives, and two for each PCI-E?

If you think that's overkill, look here: http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Power/ToughPower/w0171/w0171.asp

120 amps combined

It won't be any less efficient than a decent 500W psu anyway, it can just power more peripherals, and more powerful components.

I wish manufacturers of gfx cards/drives etc, would actually tell you the maximum ampage draw of their components, rather than specify *30A* on 12V+ required. This doesn't tell you what the component actually needs

Bet that corsair is gonna be chuffing expensive! I wonder why it isn't a TX edition though? (as they just came out with a 720 or 750 TX model)
