Do the lightbulbs run off a/c or d/c?

LOL ............

Uncle Festor could light it up in his mouth......

This is what I think was going on here .......

Computers do not work that way, they do not go slower with less voltage. What you might be reading is pure marketing hype, a second PSU to supply power to GPU's will not make them go faster with a better OC.

We are talking logic circuits which either work or they do not which would mean a crash or become unstable.

If you are getting a better OC it simply means that the PSU you used first was not powerful enough to supply power in the first place.

What the product description is saying is with newer GPU's that require more and more power you can either use a PSU that can supply more power or use the X3 Booster to take the load off of a lower rated PSU.

PSU's that have a higher rated watt power can supply cleaner power at higher loads.

This unit will become useful for the same reason that Kal and other with there monster 4 GPU rigs need to use a second PSU for GPUs as the whole system draws to much power for a single PSU, unless you get a much bigger PSU like a 2000 watt unit if they make one that high.

This will not make you rig OC higher.

Ahhhhh ?

Mine goes faster @ 1.4 than it does @ 1.2

Yes it is simply a matter of having enough amperage and possibly cleaner power as well.

What is "enough" is really hard to calculate, because manufacturers are shady about power requirments. And ripple is even more important to contend with, the cleaner the power the better the OC. I had thought about build ing a case that included a power conditioning system INSIDE the case before so that one would not need a $200 dollar (or more) PSU to power the latest and greatest components. But I let myself get talked out of it. I think I may take another gander at it though.

I cant see it costing more than $50-$100 in parts. And that money would be saved in the first couple of PSUs bought

Well it seems ill have to compare it to 1kw Akasa PSU that my friend has...

At stock or overclocked?

I just now got the joke, but it was/is still a serious question. IIRC I can bench 32m at 46xx w/ ~1.47vcore, but it will actually give better times when the vcore is up around ~1.5vcore because it's more stable.
