What's wrong with the one you have now? FWIW I highly doubt that you need anything close to that much power, I could bench my 4870X2's @ 872/990 all I liked with my quad at it's meager 4.2ghz running my entire system including cooling using a PC P&C 860w.

It wasn't until I got into bigger resolution (1920x1200) with high AA and AF that I started having power problems, I added a TT 650w booster to run the primary circuits on my cards and solved my power issues.

With you using externally powered cooling (slush system) and benching on DICE until you get off your olive colored ass and get setup with Ln2, I really think that 860w would suit your needs admirably. It would save you a few clams (turtle shells or coconuts) or w/e you people use for trade :P:rofl:rofl:rofl

One day, when you reach 5ghz, you'll understand the power requirements needed. Till then, you and you're 65 amp 12v rail can gayme till ur hearts content on you're 13" monitor. If you people would spend less time popping the pimples on ur ur sisters arses and more time pumpin ur rigs, you might have a clue.

btw, the volt-modded 4870 arrived today :D
