My current Pc Build :
XFX 750i

XFX 295 GTX
XFX 8800 GT (AlphaDog for PhysX)
1000 Watt Ultra PSU
(read my other post, Gaming PC for Steam......BL/BL2/BS/BS2/BSI...??)
I recently began to have issue with my 295GTX, I have contacted XFX for support. I decided that maybe it was the PSU, so I decide to change it out. I have a Antec High Current Gamer - HCG-850M, that was an RMA replacement for an Antec TPQ-850, new in shrink wrap. I changed everything out and trying to do some good cable with the "new" PSU and nothing at power up, just a slight movement of fans. I re-seated all connection and no dice.
Today, I decide to go to TigerDirect to pick up a new PSU, (price are high for an 850watt) and asked if they tested PSUs, they did, so they test each, Ultra 1000Watt, D E D, dead, according to them, the 24 pin did not provide any good amount of power. They tested the Antec, powered up, 24pin, 12pin provided good power, but they said that with additional components, it may get drained at power up. So what does anyone think?? I am the process of getting support for both PSUs, the Ultra is probably a "no go" , almost 7 years old, the antec, well, I hope I can get a replacement. I hope they can give something other then another HCG-850.
I am currently running a Cougar 650 with two 6 pins, and a 560GTX Ti, I ask my friend to lend me it for a while
