K, stripped out the psu and found that the fan was not working properly hence the reboots once it over heats. so fixed that.
However i have run the system with both power supplies seperately and combined. and i still get about 20 to 25 more fps with 2 psu's and i have made sure that the load is spread accross the 12 volt lines so i'm lot overloading any one rail.

Even evga tools says they 480's are running more load with 2 psu's going from about 50/60% with 1 psu to 70/80% with 2 psu's.
I will see what the results are when my 1500w psu arrives. But it is intresting.

as for water cooling, its simpy so i can cool the cards. 3 way aircooling dosent work nearly as well due to the 3 cards simply been too close together for adequate airflow. tempertures can easily hit 100 unless every fan is nearly maxed out, then you can hardly hear yourself think. water cooling removes this issue as the cards been near each other isnt an issue so much quieter. the amount of heat been dissapated in to the room is obviusly the same.

I placed a 140mm fan in front of my 3 580s (HDD area, except I have no disk here) and they've never reached 100°C so far. ;)
