oh i thought u typed 680 or something. i haven't gotten it yet, but its 120mm and has an re-installed fan controller, so i imagine it can be dead quiet or pretty loud.

am I adding this wrong or is the 12v Rail on 22A? IF your running a sli setup and a fx-55 I think you would want a lot more power on your 12v Rail.

The 680 specs looks like its fine on the 12v rails.

If you have around a 3k computer why cheap out on the power supply?

From what I read I would stay away from Thermal Take PSU's, I would go with OCZ, Forton or PC power and cooling.

The reason I listed those psu's is because he is running SLI, before I built my sli rig I was reading all the problems people were having with cheap psu and not enough power on the 12v rails. If your going with an expensive system like sli why be cheap when it comes to the power supply?
