Though that is a nice PSU, I noticed from the reviews that it only ships with the cable for 2 rails.
I am looking too. I have the stock PSU for my case which only has (1) 18A 12V rail. When I play games the system crashes sometimes when there is a lot of action. The PSU seems to run pretty hot. I can overclock and run (2) burn-in tests and it's stable, but when I get my raid0 going and gpu's working, I get crashes. My system is as follows.....do you think the PSU is causing the crashes? How important is it for me to upgrade it now? I am in Iraq and running on generators with a UPS. I will be back in Germany in 2 months and I still have to ship the rig back. Can I hold out until the end of October?

*I might liquid cool it after I get back to Germany, I don't have an AC there and it can get hot for a couple of months in the summer time, but here in Iraq I keep it nice and cool. It's at about 18*C idle, 38*C max.
Is this machine too much for a JPAC 500W with only 1 12v rail at 18a max?
PS - I don't want to take this thread over, just wanted to combine our problems.
