    Nice modding, and cool config, but Sampsa my mate, you got some strong guts, thats just WAY to weak insulation, damn..
    Well, Cooltek 600W has four +12V rails with 20A each so it's pretty good PSU. I have now replaced it with Silverstone ST85ZF. Also next time there will be better insulation

    Nice benches, looking good there Sampsa
    The PSU seems strong, any idea who makes the internals ? I was hitting OCP with the 700W Tagan on Kentsfield under LN2 with more than 1.65V, i guess you're encountering the same limits ?

    Nice pictures :P Wonder what the floorball game was like, I'm just about to get into it again after an ankle injury from October...

    But that insulation really looks good in my eyes

    Can you tell me about the mods you did?
    I havent seen these mods before...

    I do not know Kiwi, my simple Xeon3060 + single 8800gtx pulls 460w just running orthos, let alone 3D.

    If I had a QX6700 and a second 8800, I bet I could pull 700w...

    As I said, I was surprised myself. We tested that Seasonic with my friend who has qx6700 + SLI GTX and it passed all 3dmarks several times. And the rig was overclocked of course. 12V rail was pretty stable, at least a few times when checked with DMM

    Maybe u got a error in ur measuring or ur PSU have a efficiency like 40%..

    My system, as it is shown in my signature, needs 360W while running 2 instances of Prime LargeFFTs and 3DMark '06 at the same time.

    @Sampsa

    Great results!

    You are at 1.4xv, I was priming 1.6+v Try it..

    Oh, and you do not have 8800s, they use alot of power just at idle..

    QX6700 @ 1.55v, stock 8800GTX SLI = 733 watts in 3d03 GT1

    Sampsa, how's your 3DMarks going now? You already got LN2 I think...?
