For my brother Vince........
I'm coming.....

F(l)uck you! Where's 1700+ 03 georgie?

@steponz what psu are you using? there seems to be a very heavy issue with multi rail psu - past 1.4 or 1.45 = epic fail. Seems that the beast named "580 GTX CUII" will eat more than 35A on every 12V rail on every 8-Pin. I haven't seen a multi rail PSU that can handle the card in any way.

a work around for new enermax PSUs (e.g. 1250 Revolution85+):

- use an adaptor to make 2x 8 Pin of several rails going to 1x 8 Pin
- do that with 4 separated 12V-rails
- so you have 4 rails going on 2x 8 Pin = 120A / 60 A per channel --> that is enough up to 1.6V+
- use the 5th rail for CPU and Board

Additionally - did anybody figured out the "crack bug" yet? After Cebit stummerwinter and me was of the opinion it is not the thermal paste and the cooler itself that makes that sound but the heatspreader and the gpu-core - any thoughts? we could hear something similar on 990X fullpot with the same issues afterwards so it might not be the paste it might be the hs and die...
