So I thought, but asking never hurts.
It's a quality PSU, already well known in Europe - the producer is German, but everything is made in China, as usual.

I haven't been able to test that psu out on another rig in serious stress though. For me to make a good judgement i'll have to wait for my Rma and the psu i ordered. This time i ordered an OCZ modstream 520W. I'd say that should help take care of my more pressing juice problems
I'm glad to hear you regain stability of your system. With that PSU beast you've ordered you will have no problem for sure - will be hungry for more all the time.

I unzipped and flashed the CPC Off (2T) bios two nights ago, but it seemed to be exactly the same bios - no 2T timing, the same performance and same issues (now I know Merlin's bios isn't to blame). Or I might have done something wrong, since I was very sleepy. The official one - I've already described my experiences with it - shortly : "a real slow cow".

The only thing I didn't reasammble yesterday was the Zalman passive NB heatsink - I had already had enough of all of this and I would have to take the mobo out to check and reinstall it. Gonna try later, when I have time, sometime ....

cheers!
