Yeah, that was my "It's Alive!" check just to see where it stood. I'm still two 4gb 680s from a full build before I start pushing it. And another couple 1440p monitors. They're on order or in transit. I just moved some games over and they load/run so fast.

What are you using to link them? Assuming just the 24 pin harness adapter?

You mean just the two PSUs? Yea, I'm using the 24-pin DUAL-PSU adapter cable. To connect the molex connector next to PCI-E Slot # 1 (near the CPU), I had to use TWO molex extensions; actually, one extension and one molex Y-splitter.

I wonder if both molex connectors should be plugged in from the same PSU to avoid any phase differences(?). The only issue is, my Antec PSU is on the left side of the case and to reach this molex connector near the CPU, it's going to need several extensions which is never a good thing (resistance etc.)

Well, I just tried that and although the computer tried to boot, I got a BSOD at the "Starting Windows" screen. So, it was better than plugging in the other PSU to the top molex connector, but it still didn't seem to work. I have 3 GPUs plugged into the Antec.. and one into the PC Power & Cooling... should all four GPUs AND both molex connectors be plugged into the same PSU?

He is in talks with a known block maker. Of course the more people we get the cheaper it will be.
