Solution clutchc Jan 6, 2016 Is this the nameplate on your PSU? http://www.goldfries.com/images/hwreviews/2014/fsphexa550/hexa_04.jpg If so, I'd expect the system may reboot or shut down occasionally. 2 x 18 amp +12V rails is pretty weak for the 190W R9-380 and the rest of the system. It's not something I'd want to use. You'd be better off with the faster, lower wattage GTX 970: http://www.hwcompare.com/19969/geforce-gtx-970-vs-radeon-r9-380-4g/ http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1595?vs=1591
