Hope this helps
I always remember that bit from running scared

Danny Costanzo: [driving their car on the El tracks] Try not to scrape the third rail, OK? There's about 600 volts in there.
Ray Hughes: It's not the voltage that gets you. It's the amps.
Danny: How many amps are in it?
Ray: Enough to Push a ****ing train!

All I was saying in a nut shell to the OP is if the PS he was using was not suppling the proper amont of power the card may not clock as well as if it was being provided the correct amount of power ....

I used a dimmer as an example of something we can control is all

Basic apply resistance remove resistance was the easiest metphore I could think of

The physics behind electrical current are not my fotay so to speak

But I think that is why the OP got better results with the break out box
