Everything is fine until I power the optioal 12V overclock 6PIN CPU power! Situation 1. using Thermaltake 1300w PSU makes the system fans including the 2 Quadro 4600's pulsate BACKWARDS! Situation 2. Daisy-Chaining a seperate 1000w PSU just for trouble shooting (like having a seperate rail or two) makes the fans blow 100% and the debug console not light. Either way NO-BOOT! Any one have any issues with those in use? Am I missing something? Thanks guys

Can you try a different 6 pin PCIE connector for the CPU? I have seen this issue whne there was a bad PCIe cable.

ShannonR, I have used every PCIE cable I have (10+) Including a seperate PSU just to power them seperatly! Including the other way around. Since then another PSU. I am open to ANY suggestions. Thank you for your help. Oh PS--- i have also Multimetered all pinnouts for V++ as well

That is definitely strange as the 8 pin, and 6 pins go to the same place to supplement power to the CPU. have you tried each side individually? try only CPU 0 and hookup 8 pin, then startup.... then add 6 pin and startup again.... if it fails, then try the same steps on CPU 1

That is one test I did not do untill just now. Same result with CPU-0 or 1 enabled or disabled with only one PCIE PWR supplied at a time. Fans rev 100% no debug L.E.D's and no boot! ???????

as far as I know there a difference between a 6 Pin PCI-E for CPU and for Video, it may be the wrong one, unless the pin outs and voltages are the same? any way to know for sure which is which.
 Rig specs coming soon...

hi you use eps 8 pin and 6pin pcie in the same time for each CPU you have a multimeter to check if the 12 V is not downs because the pin 12V in EPS and pcie6 is not the same place reverse with the GND and the PSU not like the shortcut

Try it without the optional 6 pin PCIe power plugged in to each CPU. Unless you are overclocking super high you wont need them.

well, it would not boot with power to the overclocking plugs STOCK settings. The 12V pins should be the same as a video card otherwise the instructions would not be "use an unused PCIE power supply" I will try one CPU vs another alone and post my findings.

Just FYI, you should never plug two power supplies into the same circuit. As EVGA says, the 6-Pin PCI-E is supplemental to the 8-Pin EPS, so plugging the 8-Pin from one power supply and the 6-Pin from another will do bad things. Sometimes you will get negative voltage going to the power supply with lower voltage on the rail connected. The Thremaltake is not a single 12V rail supply, so maybe there are some issues pugging in the 8Pin from one rail and the 6 pin from another rail to the same power circuit. You might try a power supply with one 12V rail and see if it causes the same problems. Fans spinning backwards is usually negative voltage...
