I'd hang tight. You'll likely get it tomorrow. Might be a hassle sending it back to Germany.

But I like the lights on the other one and another 200watts
Might be able to sell it on MM and not lose too much?

Up to you then mate if that's what you want to do. We got a pretty good price i think on this 1000W psu so i expect you could make most of it back.
Your right, ill hang tight.

Makes sense to i think. At least try it and if you don't like it, get rid and sell for £100+ on the MM or an auction site.
Yep, Hope it sorts out the gpu usage issues. My BF4 GPU usage when using xfire is all over the place. Ill try it tonight and get a pic of AB if I can.
Caporegime
Are you using the latest beta of afterburner, beta 18? I know gpu usage used to fluctuate a lot in the older beta's.
Yes I have been for quite a while now.

Its arrived. They included some weird chew bar thing as well lmao. I had to place it somewhere to cover up a clue as to where it came from.
For some reason it came with a separate plug?
Caporegime
Haha superb. Let me know how it goes. Await some testing
Just installed. Went without a hitch, about to do some testing. Looks and feels like a quality psu, but its not Modular. Guess there had to be some catch with the price we paid. Not bothered personally, you? No coil whine on the psu so far.

Currently I have each card connected by one cable from the PSU. So 1 connector to the PSU and then it splits to 2 x 8pins. I will check in the PSU box to see if there are another 2 such cables and run these so effectively each card has 2 rails? (Does that make sense)
Hi Djay.
Sorry to dig up past comments but did you try this at all? I have always been led to beleive you should not use 1 cable and then split it to run graphics cards that require two seperate rails ( in your case 4 as your running crossfire)
This would be my guess as to what the problem would have been because the rail the card is running on would be overloaded as soon as the graphics card ramped up...
if you did try this and it made no difference ignore me..
Hi mate, unfortunately yes I did try this and it was no different.
I was hoping for a Modular PSU so I could just have the cables out that were needed. However if it does the trick it's irrelevent.
Question for whyscotty, how does this PSU:
SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 1200W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum"
Compare to the one we have ordered? I do prefer modular if Im hones, plus I am fairly impatient
It's turned up now. Ill try it tonight and see how we go

^ Ha arrived same day as mine.
Well im happy with mine, my psu is no longer the weakest part of my pc. Now im held back by the reference cooler and temps.
I've been up at 950W+ without any problems. PSU is quiet and has no coil whine can't complain.

It does not look right. I'll play 5 minutes and report back with my findings. What OS are you using?
