not sure about that. PSU is modular and the GPU is on it's own plug
and not shared. I do think both GPU connections are shared. Could be
separate I guess.
So far no problems in games. I also removed a PCI modem not in use.
Not sure if that had any affect or not.
Mostly concerned about the clacky noises in the Wd's. Seem to run OK.
Running extended diagnostics for grins. I think I paid like $139 for
these drives and they are now $250
ouch. But then again I can remember when little drives cost more.

Does the power supply have multiple 12 Volt rails? Maybe too many
hard drives on the same rail? Or too much draw on one particular rail?

Normal for these big drives or should I make sure I have
replacements in stock ? even though prices have almost doubled
since I bought these. I basically took a system drive and a data
drive (and their backup drives) and moved them to separate
partitions on the new drives. Noise bothers me. Short WD
diagnostics say all is OK. Am going to run the extended tests when
I get a chance.
on a unrelated side after removing two drives off the PSU my video
problems seem to have gone away. Perhaps a power issue. PSU is a
Seasonic 650watt
