Ok so I have a nice setup apart from the nuclear submarine AKA 840 cpu.

It needs unbelievable amounts of electricity. Im on my 2nd psu and I ordered a 3rd but Im not so sure the OCZ 600watt powerstream will support my CPU's bad habit. At 4.164 ghz my pcu folds hits cards and says its had enough. I know my cpu has more in it infact running just 2 harddrives my water pump video card in 2d I can crank the sucker to 4.5 and it post and run windows fine. But as soon as I put a fan on bang to much current psu folds.


Help me make the right by before its shipped tomorrow.
