Well, I got a modular 850w one (Superflower/TTGI Amptac), 6 12V rails varying from 20-33A depending, max of 68A combined. Should be plenty for SLI if I decide to do it, because I'd have to change my motherboard. But I don't think I will (SLI), since I expect BFG to refuse my RMA when the card reaches them. I opened it up and applied some AS5 on the core, but it's obvious the card has been opened up... So they can refuse it on the basis that I tried to fix it myself. I'm not getting my hopes up...
