deadwidesmile The house I am in was built I believe in 1997. All I had on at the time was my PC, 27" ASUS LCD, X-540 speakers, Logitech G25 wheel, and a 40watt light in the room. I have a UPS but I took the PC off of it after I got my 480 because when gaming, or stress testing the UPS would say overload @110%. It's a 1000va 615w UPS. I didn't even dare hook my PC into it after getting the new PSU. (Corsair AX1200w). I did plug my monitor,USB hub, and network equipment into the UPS to make it somewhat useful. I don't know what circuit I'm on, but I can check the box if you'd like.
Now people keep saying the power supply, along with EVGA. They pointed to my PSU when I RMA'ed my 285 SSC because it had a really loud coil noise. At the time I was using Corsair 750wTX. When I got another 285 back I heard the noise again. Then I found out that it was a common problem when the framerate was uncapped and went very high. My point is I'm using the same 2 power connectors with 2 8800 GT's in SLI. I know the wattage is much, much less, but wouldn't it rule out the power supply issue?
Any recommendations for a UPS that handles a Gamer rig like this?
Edit: LOL I know people, It would have been AWESOME if I had known this was going to happen, but my phycic powers weren't working so instead I had so save my computer from burning down instead of, grabbing my camera, switching it on, aiming it at my PC, AH MY PC IS A BALL OF FIRE MABEY I SHOULDNT HAVE GOT THE CAMERA OUT. :P If I can paint a picture for you, after the loud hiss and pop, fire shot through the fan hole and the fan was on max so it lit up the area inside the fan and around the ram. Yes it looked cool, but it's not cool at all :(
