I found the reason, it had nothing to do with my CPU or PSU, both of my cards never drew more than my PSU was capable of, it was actually the power delivery system on my first GPU shorting the short circuit protection on the PSU, the bigger issue is now, my first card is dead with a hole blown...

My computer shuts off during gaming or benchmarking a overclock. I run my 4770k at 4.5Ghz at 1.275v and both of my gtx 780s on 1.3v at 1333Mhz. It doesn't turn off if I run the default clocks, however when I do a split power system, using a 850w psu to power one card and the 1000w psu to power...

I can easily get my GTX 780 stable at default 1.15v at 12.15ghz, however when doing a voltage boost up to 1.225v in EVGA's precision 16 software, it allows me to push the GPU on air to 1.25ghz. I'm still very confused about one thing however, when looking in hwinfo64, it reports a 1.15v [core]...

Many of you are probably thinking, get a custom loop or a H100 or better, however I require a single radiator AIO that can cool the 5960X CPU, I'm expecting no overclocking (maybe some underclocking to work the cooler) to be done at all as it is being put in a workstation with one 120mm fan...

Can you flash a Asus Z97-C with the Asus Z97-A Bios? I'm asking because the -A motherboard supports Sli while the -C does not, I was wondering if there was a slight chance that the similarity of the boards would allow the BIOS to be reflashed and contain Nvidia's Sli certification for running...

I think I would probably use Rog Benchmark tool for recording down realworld temps as I am a video editor and a gamer, (yes I know a 4770k is complete overkill for gaming as well as a GTX 780, but its super useful for editing such as CUDA cores). I would use Prime95 for reliability, I don't mind...
