BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 750w not 650w

[Madness_3d]

I'd like to put in my two cents that I think CPC should change their advised PSU to the 750w version of the BQDPP. I have the 650w bought on recommendation and, faced with the prospect of buying a second GTX 260 (for folding as well as gaming ) am annoyed that the 750w is not recommended. It has a second 12v rail for graphics cards, and the 650 has only one, rated at 20A, so I'm not gonna be drawing more than 240w off it. I'm going to have to jury-rig power from another rail with power adaptors and its gonna be messy. kinda going against the neatness of having a modular psu. Scan currently list the 750w as £120 and the 650w as £105. Surely for the fact that for £15 it doubles the amount of dedicated GPU power this is well worth the price?

Just occurred to me while reading the CPC recommended list in Issue 70, especially as far as the Performance PC is concerned, seeing as a second 275 gives a massive boost in performance and the mobo supports SLI.

The only problem with them comming out is that cards like Burden of the Mighty might cause some problems with them beacause Dark Synchros are negitive levels.

As much as I appreciate Yu-Gi-Oh Spam I am actually quite disappointed that no one on these entire forums seems to care about an issue that severely limits future-proofing and upgradability, by limiting the buyer to a single high powered card, even when at the same time it is advised to purchase a setup that is compatible with multiple high end GPU's. The people who followed that advice will have to buy a new psu or use a massive daisychain of adaptors to connect additional cards, when this could all be circumvented for a <£20 price difference on a product that is already over £100
