Buy now, ask questions later (oops!) - Will what I bought actually work?

sweet, i know 8pack gave brilliant review and praise to those psus, but my money would go on a corsair psu just because i know for a fact the customer service is spot on.. you might want to think about that when spending that amount on power supply
 
That will draw massive of power over stock and defiantly be wasted if it's at that clock while mining. I'd be tempted to get the cpu @ 4.5 at a sensible vcore and be done.

Yeah that's what I should do, IIRC I only needed 1.39v for 4.5, but I'm sick of just accepting dud chips, I've never had a good clocker. So this is a suicide chip. :D
 
I have xfire 290s and a 2600K overvolted to 1.48v. I run them off a premium 850W PSU. I thought it would be fine but I have experienced reboots when pounding the system hard (Sleeping Dogs bench when overvolted, mining when overvolted and tweaked for max performance).

My XFX 750W Gold Psu chokes on Sleeping Dogs just like yours does.

Yep I remember you mentioned it before, I didn't think it could be spiking the power THAT bad though. I wanted to buy a power meter to check but alas OcUK are out of stock and I don't want to pay shipping elsewhere. :D
