Can't handle it?

Hi guys, finally got my cable!

My specs are;

Core 2 Quad

2x8800GTX SLI

4GB Ram

the 12V line is only like 9.86...should i take one of the 8800's out so the power supply can handle it? Or no? >.>

I would say get rid of it and get a good one before you ruin your comp.

I dont understand how you can have 2 8800GTXs and not a CRAZY GOOD powersupply...The PS should have been your first purchase.

I haven't tried with the one, i'm using some weird PSU that came with my case, 1000W voltages read as follows:

VCore: 1.13V

+12V: 9.82V

AVcc+3.17V

3.3V: 3.17V

you NEED to know what the volts are for the one. That PS sounds like junk.

You should let a Pro check this out before you mess it up.

Voltage is the same, 9.82, with one GTX taken out. I'm kind of on a budget, this PC cost me a ton.
