Specs:
535 Enermax Whisper II

Asus A8n-sli
3000+ oc'd to 2.1 1:1 (233fsb)with ram (v at stock)
1 10k hd
1 7.2k hd
1 cd burner
1 dvd burner
2 512 tccd (v at stock)
5 80mm fans
1 92mm tornado
1 diskette dr
1 soundblaster aud 2
1 fan controller (lighted)
2 6800 gt

Max temps at load:
CPU 44-47c
Chipset 51c
1 6800gt 81c
2 6800gt 79c

What's happened is i've added the second 6800gt. When gaming, i was being bounced to windows, where i receive an nvidia error message that says i don't have enough power to run the 6800gts, so it says it's clocking them down. Which it does, i've gone in and checked the speeds and it's gone from 350 and 1000 to 200 and 400. To fix this, the only thing i did was take the side off the case.

My question is this: Am i so close to the max wattage, that the extra heat created is causing my system to malfunction?

No, he has sex contests with his g/f and proves everytime he is better at sex, because he cums first every time, and she never does!

Just in case the errors arent telling you [-peep-], try giving the Gt's dedicated rail. With the amount of hardware you got I doubt its possible but you could always try it with a minimum of components so the video card arent on the same wire... Just a tought!

That'd be kinda hard to do, more so since it's that um ... molex??(square black power connector) connector is only on that line. Wusy was right about the case though...Sort of anyway. The way i have things set up, air flow is blocked up. Those bloody long gt's run to within 3/4in of the end of my hd's, effectively blocking air flow to the rest of the case. I can't do much about that though, short of putting a fan over the gt's on the side of the case...which is really my next plan of action. =/ 120mm here i come.
