cisco0623 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 currently I have the cpu OC to 3.35 at 1.3vcore I can OC my video card, but when I pass 730mhz on the cores and try to run a game or benchmark, the machine will just reboot? I scaled the cpu back to stock - same issue. I tried every variable imaginable - same result. I double checked and made sure I followed the rail diagram (both gpu on 12v2 (first card gets hard wired pci-e and second the blue modular ones) and cpu on 12v1.) Is it possible my system when being heavily overclocked draws more power than the hx1000 can deliver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 19, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 19, 2009 The PSU should be more than enough for your setup. Have you run memtest on your RAM modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky25 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 didu said u have both cards on 12v2 u need to have one gtx295 on 12v2 and other on 12v1 does not matter 12v1 is on cpu to ,put first 295 on hardwired and other from 12v1 red sockets on diagram that will solve your problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cisco0623 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I actually have not done a mem test on the ram since they are well under-clocked (1600mhz, not 2000) since I was working on my gpu overclocks first before I pushed my CPU. I did read there was a recall on these modules because of a high defect rate. Do you think this may be the issue? I never thought of that until you mentioned it. funky25..... the sticky here with the rail diagram says both GPU 1 and 2 should be on 12v2..the hardwired ones going to the first GPU and the modular ones going to the second gpu so I am not sure why you would suggest that?

funky25 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 lol well just try it diagram says that in case there is 3 gpus ,diagram also says gpu3 on 12v1 its clear math one gtx295 pulls out 300w and u on 12v2 have only 500 w so so your 2 gtx 295 pull 600w your missing 100w on 12v2 rail,its logical to share other grafic card with cpu hope u work it out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cisco0623 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 funky25, you were right. I never thought about the math (wasn't sure what a 295 drew wattage wise) and since I am overclocking it 30%... lol who knows what they actually need. However seems I have another issue. I cant really OC the cpu as much because if i do it reboots lol I guess with my setup I am pushing it? BTW i did a mem test using stock cpu and xmp profile - 15 passes no problem. So my mem is fine and I was never worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
