jimbar Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Thay honored my order at 129 and I get the $20 off coupon. UPS says out for delivery, so I should have it when I get home tonight..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDude05 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Well, I ran into a funny problem with my OCZ GXS 700W. Probably just due to my stupidity, but I found out it doesn't like having the PCIe-#2 plugged in with #1 not. Completely forgot to read the 12v line distribution, and was getting huge crashes and graphical glitches. No wonder, PCIE#2 and the CPU power share a 12v line, looks like I was taxing that 12v too much. Just a tip- If you only have a single high-end video card make sure to use PCIE-#1.

I've had my GXS700 since they first came out. Slot #2 is the only one I've ever run my x1900xt in. I haven't had any problems with it.

red930 Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 SeanDude05 has just experienced the problem with improper loading of the rails in a multi-rail PSU.

Not PCIe slot 2 but PCIe power plug 2 on the PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkJedi Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Could someone tell me what their idle 3.3V and -12V for this PSU are? I just installed it and my idle volts for each are 1.49v and -9.15v. Is this normal? Or am I missing something major here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleDavid218 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 What are you using to measure voltages? Software applications (MBM5, etc.) can be (and most always are) WAY off. The only sure way is to measure with a DMM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
