So after picking up a second XFX 7970 DD Edition, I've started running in to stability issues.
After reading some reviews of the cards (One's a DD edition, the other a Ghz edition), I've come to the conclusion my system is drawing around 818W at peak. I am currently using a Corsair TX850 PSU. This PSU was purchased new last October.
How much head room between my total power consumption and power supplied should I leave? Is it likely this small margin of 32W is causing system instability?
The CrossFire setup was working fine for about a month, then stability became an issue.
Thanks,
Charlie
