Lower 3DMark scores after overclocking

[TheRealBeandip]

Im using 2 way SLI EVGA GTX Titan X Superclocked.

Ive added +100 offset to the clock and +400 to the memory clock. Ive noticed lower scores in 3dmark now.
But the overclock isnt artficating and is completely stable.

Any thoughts on this?

Ahh thanks for the heads up. Odd that I never found that information. The 9590 was working fine in my previous build which was on a 700 watt supply and a gtx760.

I planned on getting a 4790k but decided to wait since skylake was just around the corner. Ive been staying up to date on skylake news.

I suppose you just figure you need at least another 100W over a 'normal' CPU - http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/62166-amd-fx-9590-review-piledriver-5ghz-17.html for the 9590. eg if you want to run a gtx970 with it then get a 600W PSU rather than a 500W one.

Your LEPA 1200W probably should've been OK though. If it's working OK.

Yeah I havent had any issues with powering the system. The graphics cards get power throttled from hitting their BIOS set power limit, not the PSU being limited.

Im considering flashing to an aftermarket BIOS with a higher temp unlock once I drop the 9590 out of this system. Bringing the 100 watts out of the loop should let these cards cool down a lot better. Also might add a 1080mm radiator.

In short, it depends on how bored I get, how much ive drank, and how much money I have that day.

Sounds typical to me. Then I wake up in the morning saying to myself "What did I get up to last night?" and hope my PC still runs.
