Alright, I know there's probably enough of these threads in here already, but I really don't know which to go with.

550w, 36a 12v on both
Now, there is essentially no difference between those two besides an SLI sticker, correct? Is there some kind of cabling difference I should be aware of?

465w, 33a 12v

Other choice. I hear pretty good things about the enermax, not as good as the sparkle, but still solid. Now, if I run a crossfire setup, will this be enough or should I take the safe bet and go for the sparkle.

Any help is greatly appreciated :D
 
Oh, and I know single rail is the big thing for intel cpu's, but would a dual rail 18a sparkle be better than the single rail 36a for crossfire?
 
Alright, decided to go with the sparkle just to be safe, and the one at zipzoomfly is $25 cheaper than newegg's which puts it at only $20 more than the enermax. Thanks for the links Nebulous.
 
I have the non-Sli, Fortron version of that Sparkle. I bought it used and I don't know how much use it saw, but it was cheap and worked very well for about 6 months. But now the last couple months its been reading a 1/10 volt drop on the 12v rail, between idle and load. Seems like a bit much and I have been seeing some stabilty problems. System is in sig.

If it's for the rig in your sig Hitman, it should do just fine.

SLI model has one more PCI-E connector. Otherwise, same PSU.
