I installed it at 1pm and went out and got a new power supply at 1.30... factory overclocked to 880 and all the shaders turned on o.O blew out my 500W PSU when I loaded DX:HR

Oh bugger! D: I'm kind of pushing the upper limit of what my PSU can handle too. It certainly didn't like the extra optical drive I had in there when I was testing to see if any of them still work properly (they don't, but are inexpensive and inconsequential compared to a PSU).

wasn't that bad Maplins had an XFX 700W supply for 30... and after wiping windows and installing Batman:AA I'm getting triple my old framerate... at a much higher graphics level.. cant wait for BF3 and DX:HR to finish installing...
