Just one question, when you say:

If you are serious run your atx at 240v. Better efficiencies no matter the brand.

Do you mean better power efficiency? If so, how do you configure PSUs to run at 240v? At stock they run at 220v right?
Would love to know more.

He's probably from US, where they have 110V. And since PSUs are more efficient at 220+V, they sometimes use some extra hardware to get higher voltage than they're supplied with. We've got 220V in Europe straight from our outlets, so we just plug our PSUs in. But most decent PSUs can run off anything in between 100V and 240V. I suppose if you're going to "mod" you power to get higher voltage, you might as well go all the way up and make it 240V.

Hi there -- Yes I am from the USA :-).

If the new AMD series is working at 200+ Watts, I will just stick with 1080tis and mine something else and buy the ETH. I was hoping that they would be more efficient to mine but it seems that might have been the wrong thought.

For the total system, I cant get everything else running at 75 Watts total (MB, HD, Ram, Processor) and I am just cloning my current hard drives to make life easier.

I do disable onboard Audio / Wifi (if MB has it) and anything else I might not need. All rigs are open air, so cooling is not an issue (plus we are in winter here and this will be stored in the garage, which is +10F from outside normally and this am when I woke up it was 25F outside).
