I have the bigtoe 1/31 for DFI infinity and still have to let the machine sit for a few minutes to warm up between restarts. Very painful especially during installing windows. Is there a better way (removing prommie not good answer :confused: ) or is this the price of cold :cool: ?

Thanks prommie noob mikee

Thats a major PITA w/ a prommy wired up as default. When doing alot of rebooting (when OC'ing alot, for example) it gets annoying really fast.

The best solution, imo, is just power the prommy separately. I used a spare PSU. Short the Green wire to any black wire in the ATX plug. That way u can reboot the rig, but leave the prommy running. You dont have to wait for pressure to equalize in the prommy every time.

Drawbacks: u gotta start 2 things from a complete shutdown. Some ppl just cant stand pressing 2 buttons to start their rig. Never bothered me though...
