Dog slow 8800GTX

It would be a simple RMA... but I can't figure out how it works on the other PSU..... Your 1kW PSU is waaaay more than ample anyway.. It can't be 'bad' otherwise the old GPU wouldn't work, let alone the rest of the kit in the case.

I dont know much ( anything ) about electrical things... but is it possible some kind of earthing feedback causing problems? there has to be a reason why it won't work with the antec!

Me neither! The 1000W Antec should be ample. I bought it from Kustom, so there shouldn't be a problem RMA'ing it.

Unfortunately, I can't think of any reason why it won't work with my PSU either - I can't think of any good electrical reason (and that's after 4 years of electronics at uni!). It really has me stumped, but all I can say is it's currently running 3DMark06 right now and looks like it will rack up a good score with my oc'ed Q6600.

I guess you'd better just mod the second PSU into the case

I put the original 550W PSU in instead of the 1000W Antec and just racked up a score of 12151 3D Marks, which seems fairly respectable

You know what the real irony is? The PSU that works is a 550W Antec Neo!

Thanks for all the help guys, hopefully what I have found and posted might help others in the future.

send that 1KW back and get a 750 Watt enermex or somthing as that would be ample and more efficient
