Figured I would start a thread of all the psu's killed by the gtx480 so far. The way and types of powersupplies that have been destroyed make me think that multirail powersupplies are having an issue dealing with the load caused by fermi it has to be drawing more than 300watts under load I don't care what w1zzards review says the 4870x2 which shows to draw more power runs on much lower spec powersupplies just fine. I am not trying to flame the gtx 480 right now I just wonder why the thing is killing some very high spec shit.
Fsp bluetop 1000w with a gtx480 and core i7
Fsp 1200w with a gtx 480 and core i7
Thermaltake toughpower 1200w gtx 480 and core i7
Antec truepower 950w gtx 480 and qx9700
Getting pictures of the antec post gtx480 shortly all of the large caps inside of it blew the tops clear off and the entire rig went out board, ram, cpu, gpu, usb drives, optical drives etc.
as promised pics of the antec 950w the fermi card was shipped back to nvidia not the company that made it nvidia sent a prepaid UPS label for the card
