Anyone power supply savy ?

Modular power supplies really arent that great, all modular psu's have increased latency becuase of the extra connections to the psu. Its better to have a regular configuration.

That's all meaningless mumbo jumbo.. Does it translate to the real world? No. Modular is just as fine as regular wiring except a **** of a lot more convenient.

yep, plug-in what u need, don't plugin what u don't, much more airflow in the case too

the new and improved modulars have shown no noticeable effect in resistances or voltage fluctuations in benchmark testing. they are just fine. the most important thing with modulars are good connectors to keep good contact.

check out this FAQ. it should be helpful.

Cheaper and as good or better then the Xclio ($80 or $70 if you use a new google checkout account):

Buy.com - Corsair 520W SLI Certified Modular ATX Power Supply - CMPSU-520HX

And yeah if it's the psu from the case, that's probably the thing causing it.. They are only meant from the crap de la crap systems.

Excellent power supply. I bought one a few months ago. And I use it with a 8800gts. I posted some pics on tf, if you want i could post them again. Modular psu's are great, unless they are the ultra x-connect psu's then those are a nightmare.

As another person state you do no not just add up the amps on the rails and get 30....if it is a stock PSU then get a new one because they are horrible always. Modular is just fine.....regardless of what you hear the fact of it being modular does not mean it will not power your system.

Sora, I see your name says "bang for your buck master." So how about pointing me in the right direction of a PSU ?

I've got a Sapphire x1950 GT - 512 MB that says on the back "30 amps on a 12v rail recommended."
