    CPU = Intel i7 2600k
    CPU Fan = NZXT Havik 140 CPU Cooler
    Mobo = Asrock Z77 Extreme4
    GFX Card = 2x EVGA GTX 680 SC Signature 2048MB in SLI
    RAM = 16GB Mushkin Enhanced Blackline Frostbyte (4x4GB) 2133
    SSD = Intel 520 Series 120GB
    HDD = seagate 1tb
    PSU = corsair Pro HX750w <------------------------------- PSU in question
    Case = Xigmatek Utgard (this case has 3 fans in it already)
    Monitors = 3x liyama E2407hds (i run these at 1920x1080)(5760x1080)

    thanks for the replys

    Should be absolutely fine. You could run that on a 650W PSU. A single 680 only needs about 200W, so two of them plus a 2600 would need around 500W.

    Yes, 750W is enough.

    He'd only need higher if hardcore overclocking is involved. Say 2600K at 4.8GHz or higher and GTX 680s that have been overvolted and average around 1250MHz with GPU Boost.

    Should be fine, you have a good quality PSU there and the GTX 680's are very power efficient, which tend to use less than even AMD's counterpart - the HD7970.

    This sounds incredibly unlikely. Cold cathodes and LEDs require very little power. Fans only need on average 1-2W at 12V. Most fans spin up at 5V, or less than 1W in most cases. If the fans are plugged into motherboard headers they are taking power from the 24-pin ATX connector. If that connector is having trouble supplying power to fans it most certainly wouldn't even turn your PC on to a usable state at all. If the fans were connected to molex connectors, then I my first guess would be those connectors/cables themselves were faulty and not the rest of the PSU.

    Certain Thermaltake PSUs like the Toughpower Grand 750W and the Toughpower XT 775W are in the upper tier, among the better PSUs on the market.

    Your main sources of power are going to be the following

    GTX 680 up to 250W each with a mild OC
    2600K up to 130W with a mild OC
    Mainboard around 40W
    HDD/ODD around 15-20W each during spin-up only.
    SSD around 5W while active

    Or your PSU was in some way faulty and the wattage had nothing to do with it.
