SO... does this mean something is wrong with my enermax galaxy? or does it just not like this PSU? should I RMA the PSU? is anyone else running the EGX1000EWL in their R2E system? or look for a new PSU? if so what should I get? Im looking to OC to at least 3.6-4.0 and im running 3x285GTX. I was looking at the Corsair 1000HX or is that not enough? what do you guys think?
Man, I'm SOOO glad you figured it out! IMHO a lot of problems with this board are due to it's narrow selection of (undocumented) compatible PSUs. I think as long as you have the Antec from BB, you might as well RMA it and see if the replacement works better. Worst that can happen is you have the same problem.

I use a PCP&C 750W and mine runs like a champ; I'm very blessed in that regard. Maybe you should look through some of this thread and see what other folks who post good experiences have listed in their sigs for their PSU???
