Not sure why you're suggesting I'm not aware of this. I'm not fighting with my graphics card here. Something a little more 'novel' for desktop solutions. Much more similar to a mobile graphics card would to conserve battery-life and manage heat. Also, while the Tahiti 7xxx cards do throttle, they do so to keep temps down while you browse the internet or other mundane tasks that don't require full-draw. I suppose there's nothing wrong with a little level-headed consideration and people should be aware of these things, but in this case, it's unwarranted. Your hard-and-fast ruling is just inaccurate, sorry. We're not putting the LB at risk with this setup. We're not overdrawing the lane and we're well within what's needed from the PSU. *Edit: The reason I keep pointing out the PCI lanes are 300w combined, is because that's how the LB is wired to power them as a 300w lumped together channel. There is nothing unsafe about running this card either. We're not exceeding the LB or the PSU or even uncomfortably close to it. The MP has a limit of 300w across the 4 PCI slots and that 8-pin adapter does, as you said, allow the card to pull down more watts.
