pull the cards and see how the CPU clocks ........

just chuck any POS in the slot

that will give you the quick answer,

Could be power bro

possible one of your PS is not up to the job ......

I think that was holding me back benching this weekend in CF ....

[DOM]

how are the psu's set up ?

are you running all 4 cards on one psu ?

[punx223]

also like DOM asked are you loading the 5V and 3.3V on both PSUS?

[MaadDaawg]

ummm.. I'm using 1 PSU for the board, CPU, DIMMs and 1 580 - using the second for the remaining 3 580s, the water pump, and the rad fans. Using that little dohinky in the first pic to combine the PSUs... only 1 black and 1 green wire that jumps to the second one so I doubt if I'm using the 3.3 and 5v but

Anyway, WD and the Punxster were right... dammit. Turned off the lanes of the 3 cards being powered by the second PSU and started it up, just set it for gamers oc to keep it quick, and it booted right up to 4700.

Is there another way to jump the two PSUs together that works better? Thinking I may need to take the Corsair AX1200 out of the wc gamer and use that instead. Maybe 3 PSUs ?? rofl

Just a thought...
One of the six pin PCI connectors from PSU 1 goes into the mobo to power the PCIe lanes. If I were to replace that with a six pin from PSU2 (which currenlty is connected to the 3x580s and used PSU1 to power two cards, would that give me a more even load?

hook a spare Hdd or 2 and a fan or 2 to the second psu an try again


KAL Had same issue awhile back.... (shit many years now) and we did that and all was well after

[MaadDaawg]

Interesting thought.

Add more load to PSU 2? Worth a try, and easier than disassembling the wc gamer and swapping PSUs around

thanks bro

I'll let you know what develops

basically what happens is without proper crossloading the psu 12V rails will freak out and either shut off or just get buggier than a 2 dollar whore in hollywood

There are 2 dollar whores in Hollywood? shit, I used to live just miles from there and NOW you tell me :

[DOM]

I got a lot of runs with the cpu like that it doesn't matter I don't even put in the clocks its to much work

Let some what she can do MD

[MaadDaawg]

Having better luck manually OCing than using the presets. Ran Vantage set at 5.1gigs though CPUz shows less, should have waited before taking the pic lol
Worth only 5.9 boints cause everyone else w/ 4 x 580 is probably running them extreme.. oh well.

Just testing still anyway, and seems to be good room for improvement

Wife will kill me if I don't straighten up before she gets home tonight
