BTK - This isn't a power capacity issue at all, this is a TIMING issue of when the mobo receives the "power good" signal. If the mobo doesn't get the signal at the right time, you see the Sentinal message. I proved it with a different power supply towards the beginning of this thread.

Hi Pig, I would recommend that you open a ticket with Antec and request they tell you if your PSU has been certified with the GTXs. Be prepared to provide serial # of PSU and model #s of your GTXs. Worst case, they will RMA and replace it, or they will tell you that they have not certified this config yet which probably means it doesn't work. Let us know what you hear back and what happens next.
