just found out about the problem people has been having with this. I got the 1000w Quattro, I bought it just over a month ago. I'm going to be getting my two 8800 GTX's soon, I hope I don't have any problems? Mine is REV 3.1

Hey Cat - This is not a driver issue. I would recommend contacting Antec and open a ticket with them (have your serial # handy) and see what they say first. They know which TPQ-850 PSUs work and which ones don't. Let us know what happens.

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.
