    Please keep them comming. The reason is there has been a post on DFIstreet about running a 20 pin and damage done to memory. I have not seen this and would like to get as much feedback as possible. I am runing a 20 pin 600watt Enermax 36 amps on all rails. very stable and no problems. Have not realy started to heavy OC but running very stable at 2750 MHz.

    Sounds like BS, or some fluke accident.

    I run an old Enermax 365 350W PSU (18A@+12V), 20 pin (+ separate 4 pin) just fine. 1.5V CPU, 3.1V RAM.

    Will it does not make that much sence to me other than a cheap 20 pin. I mean my 600 watt Enermax has more amps and power on any line than most if not all 24 pin power supplies do! I would like to use the 5v jumper to use more vdimm but this got me a tad nervous yet I dont know why??

    Not sure about the damage claim...that doesn't sound logical at all.

    But, when it comes to stability at the high end, especially with SLI, a quality 24 pin PSU will get you further. That's already been proven countless times.

    Like I said in previous post, I ran 3.4v and 3.5v for over 2weeks 24/7 without any trouble. You have a much better psu than I was using, I would switch that jumper now
