I've got a whopping ~12 hrs into the game and I got it on launch- work too much. I do hop on occasionally but I'm PS4 Pro w/ controller. Same username is you want to add me, if you were serious.
Just grab a decent Corsair unit that is modular and buy as many modular SATA cables as you need (1 more is prob it). Don't even mess with splitters anymore.

Humorously enough, I had convinced myself to upgrade thinking the Hale only had a single EPS and confirmed it by not seeing another one with the modular cables. As I was...
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've been running my 2990wx for a few months now and I'm still on the fence as to whether my temps are normal or too high.
The PC is running WCG BOINC 100% loaded PBO 275w TDP 500 for both voltage settings. Dual triple thick 360 rads, D5, Yates in PP, MEG...
