GX2's are ballsed, only work with certain PSU's, or hack yours to work

Oh dear me, page 9, if your PSU doesn't fit, you can either contact the board partner (i.e BFG etc...) and wait for them to ship you an adapter, or you can hack away to make it fit.

Yup, its ******* hilarious.

"We tested some, including the majority of SLI certified PSU's, on this issue to see if they would fit properly, it was not the case. This is also not limited to BFG, all board-partners have the same design specification. So please bare in mind that early batches might have this problem."

Id hold off for a while if it were me, as there will be some out there, look at all those ballsed cards before (cant remember which ones it was now), had the fauly resistor, loads of them got out.

Yeah the bit you miss out is where he says that ONLY 50 OF THESE UNITS WERE EVER SHIPPED. So the chances any of us will get one of these without a working adapter is very slim. Nice fear tactics though, although i cant quite figure out what you get out of it, amusement i guess.

Lets wait and see, yes i find it amusing, but i also posted it as a heads up, just in case.
