EVGA Power Boost

I used the search function and seen nothing so this might be useful to those with SLI/TRI SLI Rigs

I cannot see one making any difference to overclocking a GTX 580 on a corsair psu? Perhaps someone out there knows more on this thing and if its useful at all.

USA only and £15 discuss

It might help but I would be worried as motherboards wherent meant to take power like this.

I agree to a point as how many motherboards have they tested it on and how old are the boards?? Its impossible to be sure that every board of every age will support it and not blow a gasket :eek:

Did'nt want to start a new thread since it already seesm to be in discussion here. Hopefully I will be upgrading to some lovely 500 series mayhem. What worries me is if i go quad (big if) or 3 x 580's in the near future I want to have some sort of insurance my board will not fry and since these power boosters have come onto the market I was wondering if Overclockers would get some into as i will nab one off you guys straight away.

I need that peace of mind for when i upgrade really.
