Right, the PSU should be capable of supplying AT LEAST 30A along the +5v rail. You could go Enermax, who are pricey but do exactly that they say on the box, or you could try one of these:

The only downside is the short ATX lead, but extenders can be sourced

Colleagues here have bought them and have zero complaints so far. I think that they can get quite warm, but nothing to worry about.

You can get them from here:

http://www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk

At that price, I would say deffo worth a shot


Cheers,
