Thank you to all that commented on this post.  I hope my adventure helps someone who might be thinking about a power supply upgrade for their Aurora.  Now must get back to slaying demons...     
When I bought my Aurora R9 I was surprised the available power supply was only 850 watts for a SLI setup. So of course, I finally decided to upgrade to a 1500 watt; how hard could it be since everything is standardized, right? I thought I could leave the Dell cables connected to the motherboard and just swap out the power supply and reconnect the Dell cables. No...there must have been a sale on 6 pin connectors... [IMAGE]There must have been a sale on 6 pin connectors I ended up having to use the new cables for everything.  The metal swing carrier for the power supply was the next problem, it has tabs and lips that hold the Dell unit securely, but have to be bent down so a larger (longer) power supply can fit. Once I got the new one in, dressing the cables was like putting 10 lbs of something into a 5 lb bag. [IMAGE]Medusala's hair? Anyway, I got the job completed and everything works...super quiet power supply, might be my imagination, but I'd swear the picture quality is improved when gaming...more detailed.  Must have helped something because I've actually advanced a few levels in Doom Eternal since the upgrade. [IMAGE]As pretty as it's going to get. Quick, put the side panel back on!
