    Ok so here's the deal: I have the this case wich has this PSU. While playing FEAR I have noticed in the last day or so that it starts to stutter occasionally. Is this because the 12V rail doesn't have enough power? I've also had the nVidia Sentinel program pop up a few days ago telling me there wasn;t sufficient power going to my card. Whats strange though is that when FEAR does stutter you can hear the HD working like mad. (Maxtor Diamondmax 10).

    how much ram do you have?

    What settings are you running fear at?

    On the power rail going to your gfx card: is only the gfx card on that rail or are there other devices as well?

    TBH your psu should be fine.

    How would I check that?
    It's the only device on that power lead (PCI-E lead)

    What's weird is that it played perfectly well up until about two days ago. Maybe its something to do with how far into the game I am. Can't really see why that would be a reason though.
