On start-up I get a message saying that nvidia system monitor has
detected
that the card is receiving insufficient power!!! and will run at a lower
speed to ensure stability.

Did u connect the power to the 2 molex? . . .



yea, that's what I was thinking too when I read this. Was closing my case
when I noticed that I had to make a power connection to my new nvidia
graphics card itself, something new for me [though mine is only a 5900xt].
Glad I caught it or I would have been lost for awhile. Can't imagine 480
watts not being enough (I have the same power supply btw).
