I don't know about yours, but mine came with 3 different CPU connectors. An old school 4-pin 4 pin, a 4-pin to 8-pin and a 6-pin (but with two dummy pins) to 8-pin. Not really sure why.

Mine too. That extra 8-pin connector really confused me since I have the 650. Who in their right mind will run a 2-CPU board with only 650w? :laugh:

Ohhh that explains the extra connector and the PCI-E/CPU connector on the PSU side. I was quite confused by that. I didn't even think about dual CPU rigs.

That really sucks too because I paid over $100 for the OCZ at the time too and I thought it was a good one.

I was thinking about PC Power and Cooling as well. Any reason to go with the 760W over this 750W one with a 120mm vs 80mm fan?

Go with the 760w their much better. I have the old 750w before OCZ took over and crapped over the brand and it's been totally sweet..

Yea I was tempted to go with the PCP&C 760W, but case noise is an issue for me so I went with the Seasonic X750, which is silent under normal operation. I also didn't want to give anymore money to OCZ. Not sure if PCP&C still has its own support, but OCZ's support was absolutely horrible and impersonal.
