[SOLVED] PSU or GPU?

[timgkerr]

Hi all, brought a GTX 780 and had to upgrade the power unit. Got a AERO COOL CYLON 700W and it has all the connectors. However, when I run the 3dmark free test it hardly ever finishes without the display cutting out (audio is fine) and obviously something is still going in the background but I can't see it. I have upgraded to the latest drivers.

Any ideas? Thankyou. Tim

The wattage of that psu is good enough, though it is a pretty bad quality. if im correct, the cylon is like, tier c on the psu tier list over on the ltt forum.

unless that psu is old, i dont think its the issue.

AeroCool makes pretty poor quality power supplies. I can't find a review of that particular model, however, I would suspect its not very good from what I have heard.

I would definitely suspect that as the issue.

If that PSU was an "upgrade", I'd hate to think what the old PSU was.
