I recently purchased a new EVGA 9800 GTX+ (which I guess right before it was EOLed, being that my model is no longer on the EVGA website) and plugged it in last night to my Corsair CMPSU-450VX power supply. When I started up the machine and installed the drivers, everything went fine until I got an "Insufficient Power" message, saying that either the power supply was not enough or that one of the PCIe power cables was not plugged in.
I shut off the computer and opened it up, and saw that one of the power cables didn't seem to be pushed in all the way (barely), so I pushed it what little bit further it could go in and restarted the machine. I have yet to receive another insufficient power warning, so does that mean that everything is running fine? The PCIe power adapter took some fidgeting to plug into my 4-pin plugs, but I think everything is running OK. Is there any way to ensure that the card is getting the power that it needs?
