After PSU nightmare, GTX470's under water, all's good.
Well it finally got to me. About 1.5 years ago I bought a Ultra X3 1000 watt PSU. They said it's quiet and a temp controlled fan.
I thought it was as good as it gets. Well a few weeks ago I was playing with my fan speeds and listened to my pumps. I decided that this PSU fan had to go.
I called Ultra and told them my fan is getting louder. They cross shipped a new one (I had to prepay CC just in case I'm a thief, no biggie).
I installed it today and after a brief mishap of plugging the 8 pin PCI into the 12vdc mobo PSU connector, all is good. Thankfully no smoke, I should dbl check the plug names eh?
It's much quieter, even with Prime and Furmark running.
Good warrenty, better second PSU. Less overall noise, shweet!
