Tried different coolers etc and no change. cry:

400W handling SLI? Shit they recommended atleast a 450W just for a single 8800GTS

Shuttle psu's are very efficient though, theres a guy i know posting on another forum with a 400 watt shuttle running a core 2 overclcocked to 3.6, 2 x1950xtx's in crossfire, 2x raptor drives, water pump and assorted cooling fans.
