----> Primary connector on 6800ultra
-------> empty
-------> empty

----> Secondary connector on 6800ultra
-------> dvd writer
-------> empty

-----> sata connection to harddrive (cannot use on 6800u)

is this the most efficient setup for my setup? i'm getting a lot of stability issues with my 6800 ultra and im thinking its the power supply. should i junk it and go for a larger size with 3 individual strings so that each connector into the 6800ultra is solo?

thanks
 
I've got a 400w Antec and a BFG 6800gt oc right now and am thinking my system is underpowered as well. Benchmarks show fine... 11,300 in 3dmark03, but I'm getting weird.. nasty slowdowns in my opinion. I'm thinking the system is being underpowered. My friend has a 430w running a 6800gt and runs fine, but are you oc'ing it at all and is it a BFG? IMO you need a 480+ to have an ultra.
 
no overclocking, and as far as i know, the 430 is strong enough for the 6800 ultra, im just concerned about it not having 2 solo connectors
 
there is a guy around here somwhere running his whole system with a 6800 GT on a 250 Psu.
 
I'm running my system with a BFG 6800Ultra and its over clocked on my Antec TB 350W. Everything seems fine and games run fast.
