Houston, We Have Encountered a Problem..........
 
Apparently, After all the Time involved in connecting/arranging these Corsair AX1200i PSU's to My System, They will NOT operate in a tandem fashion like My Rosewill Hercules 1600W's due to the New "Digitally Controlled" Circuitry incorporated in the Units!
 
The Only GOOD News is that After I called Corsair to Verify this Problem and they Agreed that the AX1200i PSU's will Not Work in a Tandem arrangement, I called Newegg for an RMA and to My surprise they issued a Full Refund WITHOUT a Restocking Fee!
 
And so Now it's back to searching for Two more Rosewill 1600W PSU's once again before I can continue with my Testing.........

Thanks Halo,
There are Not a Lot of High Wattage/100A+ Single-Rail PSU's out there (and in Stock) that will Operate in the Parameters I need, But I'll find a Pair Somewhere sooner or later!

What about the EVGA 1300 G2? 108 amp single rail. Only 209.00 at Microcenter.

Just picked one up to replace my PcPower&Cooling 1200 unit, which was giving me restarts while gaming. Works like a charm. I picked it up at my local Microcenter store in Boston.

Thanks sgtharry, I Appreciate the Info.
 
I've seen the EVGA 1300 G2 available at Microcenter and have been debating about using Them (Mainly Gun-Shy after all the problems I just had with the Corsair's).
For Now, On top of searching for the Rosewill 1600W's that I KNOW work in a tandem arrangement, My Next step is to find at least Two of the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500's (Either New or Used) that I have definitely seen working in K|ngp|n's Quad SLI Rig that used Four of Those PSU's.

EVGA is coming out with a 1600 watt version soon. I guess the Supernova 1500's are hit and miss, as far as being "working" when you get them.

The new PSU is targeting 1600W, and plan on release in June timeframe.

Well, Today is Only April 2nd, So being realistic, I probably have more than Two Months to search for the other PSU's before EVGA releases their New 1600W.
 
It seems like there is Always a Least ONE Component needed that You either can't find, is discontinued or Nobody has any in Stock!

Hallowen,
ok first off, I misread that hyphen as a negative for the temp on your water for KPE's.
 
Next, for the power concern, the 1300G2 does not have the digital circuitry that the 1200i does, so it should work fine in parallel.  I checked with MikeF as well, and he confirmed he knows one who is already doing it.
 
So, you add in 2 1300G2's and be good to go.

Thanks Dave, That is some Good Info on the PSU's.
 
Right Now I have some New Tests to run before I decide on whether or not I really need to use another Two PSU's, Because Now I have finally got around to use My EVBot and see if That will solve the problem I am having getting over 1.35v Vcore with the Classy Tool Software Program I've been running.
 
I have been told by Gunslinger that One EVBot CAN control All Four KPE's at Higher Voltages on ALL the Parameters (NVVDD/NVPWM/NVOCP/FBVDD/FBOCP/PEXVDD/PEXPWM), which is what I'm going to find out Shortly after I finish configuring this unit!
