[QUOTE="GS550L"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"] The TC may have too much load on one of the lines. He should read his manual to see what rails powers pci-e power cables. MxAa
If the power supply the TC is referring to is the modular TT 750W I'm thinking of, rail distribution shouldn't be an issue. The modular cable sockets are specific; you cannot plug in a 6-pin PCI-E or 4-pin Molex cable into the 8-pin EPS socket, so there shouldn't be any problems with overloading a specific rail.
--EDIT--
Aaaand here's another case of someone not reading the OP fully. If you've replaced the motherboard, video card, and RAM, there's a damn good chance that the power supply is to blame. Just ignore what I said earlier.
God, I wonder how I survive sometimes....
lol I was gonna say... I figure 18 x 4 in a 6 year old PSU prob isnt good. Should I just go single rail or multi rail?I'd just go with the supply that 04dcarraher suggested; it's pretty well priced with that promo code, and it's powerful enough to run a second GTX 570 comfortably if you feel like throwing a second one into your system. There has been a lot of debate about whether multi-rail power supplies are better than single-rail ones or vice-versa, but to be honest, I feel that it doesn't really matter at the end of the day; for the average user, the build quality and power output should really be the only deciding factors.
