Hah nowhere near needing a 1200 watt PSU yet. I've had a cooler master PSU for at least four years in this rig and have had no problems at all.

I have found that even with 2 HD5970 and 1 HD5950 running at full bore with a 2600k for a cpu and my HX850 is running it all no hiccups!

Normally with some overclock and two GPUs you don`t need something higher than 850W, i guess. But this 1200w is really a monster. Great review!

Why the heck were you using screws that long? Use the included screws and you won't have any problems.

I was also testing a case during that time and that came with those specific screws for the power supply. Went along with what the case manual was going by because that case had some very odd screws, not the standard ones you see in 90% of the cases.

thanks for the review > and explaining a bit about the snafu with the screws you encountered.Don't think I 'll need a PSU with that type of power output but good to read about all the same.
