I bought the 2 card deal.. working fine for me... however, im not using the included PS.. I am using my OCZ (Which hasn't YET given me ANY problems). The BFG PS says a MAX of 18A.. yes, while it IS weak, if forced, you could use it as a back-up and run only one card and get away with it until...

A8N-SLI Deluxe: many defective boards identified

i have installed my 2 BFG 6800 GT OC's today and after running 3dmark 01, 03, 05 and playing HL2, Counterstrike: Soruce and BF Vietnam, I haven't had a bit of trouble. I also have 7 case fans, 2 of which are LEDs and no stability problems so far. I will update in 24 hours after some overnight tests.

I can answer that one. BFG made it a requirement that Chumbo put a PSU with the card. See email written to me from BFG: We understand your frustration with the current situation. However, because this product is currently in very high demand and very low stock, our retail customers* do...

with the OCZ 600 for instance, you have the 4 pin above the cpu, you have the 24 pin and then 1 6 pin and 2 hdd/vga.. My plans are 1 6 pin to 6800gt the 2 hdd/vga to the other 6800gt.. My understanding is that the 6 pin and the 2 hdd/vga's are on different rails.. i am probably wrong, but...

How about for example.. and this may not make any sense to anyone but me.. but i will try. IF the 12v leads all came from the same solder/same power source point in the PSU, i understand they would be all the same amps. thats a gimmie.. BUT, if infact the rails come from different solder...

ok.. another silly question. (because I'm trying to learn something here) If the 20a and 18a are "basically 20 amps max".. would the combined wattage be 240 watts or 456 watts? (Provided you have them maxed out) and if they were maxed out, what would prevent the 18a rail from going to 20a...

A8N-SLI Deluxe: many defective boards identified

After questioning OCZ techs in depth, including using the old copy/paste deal as well as pointing them to this thread, this is not true of all dual rail PSU's. What that guy was saying is that he thinks the board only gets 20A which isn't correct. The ATX plug gets 20A and then the molex...
