here's my rig.. and 64 x2 4200, 2 gig's corsair ddr2 800, 160 gig sata, sata dvd drive , 8800gts 320 mb, creative sound 24 bit, 500 watt power supply. samsung 2ms 22inch widescreen. z board, optical mouse, logitech joy stick ,k web cam how many watts do you think i need ???
From what you've told us, it would seem that your current power supply is underpowered for what you have in your box. You should have a 600W ( or higher ) main power supply.
As BounceDK has suggested, having that dedicated secondary supply for your SLi videocards is another option rather than replacing your 500W.
Was it always possible to move threads from board to board or is this a new feature? :shock:
For TC... my system is similar to yours and I'm running a 500W PSU... so does that mean I'll have to switch to a 550 or 600W PSU to keep my USB powered devices from cutting out? :(
