    No thanks, my 550W Antec seems to be doing fine for now.

    The OP wanted a list of PSU's with 8-pin PCI-E power connectors, which is what I supplied. I'm not suggesting people upgrade to a 1KW PSU for a single minute.

    Cheers,

    I have a corsair HX520 and it comes with 2x6 pin connectors, no add on to make them 8 and no 8 pin connectors.
    I've double cheacked the cables that came with it that i'm not using it and it's defenetly not got anything.
    Looking at the info page on scan it doesn't mention any 8 pin connectors.

    I got my HX520 on Monday, it had an extra 2 pins hanging off the side of each 6-pin PCI-e adaptor. I guess there must have been an upgrade

    It's a recent update to the design.
