Just lost my main rig. The power supply went South. 1100 watt Apevia Warlock power supply. I have been having trouble with it rebooting for the last day and I thought it was because of the video cards. GTX 260, GTX 460 and a GTX 465 all oc'ed.
All of a sudden the power went out and all I heard was a clicking sound from the power supply.

Called Apevia and got a copy of my invoice. Out of warranty by 1 month. Talk about customer service. Rma'ed the power supply with no problems. They are cross shipping a new one to me. Great customer service. I thought for sure that I would be out of luck on this one.

If anyone needs a big power supply CompUSA has them for less then I paid 1 year ago and it has a $20 mail in rebate. Plus it has the cool switchable led light. (red, green and blue.) I ordered one from CompUSA so I will have the extra one as a backup.

Wow, sad to hear, but glad to hear at the same time. ;) That is awesome a company is willing to stand by their product like that! Definitely one to recommend for the new builds going on this year. :)

Dose it really only have 2 Pci-e cords? Pretty good deal but I'm looking at 4 VC's and only 2 sets of connectors?

The old one I have has 4 pci-e plugs, 2 x 6 pin and 2x6-8 pin, 2 4 pin 12v leads with 3 connectors each plus a floppy connector, plus 2 x leads with 3 x sata drive power connectors. For me it has plenty of connectors. I have 3 HD's, 2 DVD burners, 3 video cards (I use extra pci-e connectors), plus front and rear 120mm fans, plus northbridge fan and cpu cooler.
The power supply runs everything and to me it is quiet.
