Chances are your Corsair was just a dud. It should have been able to make about 1000w before shitting down. I still seriously doubt you pull as much wattage as you think. I would love to see your numbers after you get a Kill-a-watt

I'm taking that as a mistype.

Nah overloaded power supplies always shit down

 

[tiny voices]

Nah plenty of units can offer WAY more than their stated wattage.

This Seasonic 750w unit delivered 938w while still remaining within GOLD specifications for ripple and such.

Obviously the psu was modest and lied on it's label.

i would just have thought being able to push the 1 card as far as i could but soon as the second one got put it and overclocked at all it started crapping out. I dunno. The hx850 worked perfect for 1 card so its going into another build. I came across several people having the same issue as me with the same psu trying to run the same gpu's so i dunno.

I had a similar problem with my AX850, it ran 2 580's fine for over a year but when I upgraded to a 780 it would crap out under load. works fine in this computer though, it has a better psu, zm1000-hp

This is pretty much how most quality PSU makers operate. Very common.

Yep, quality PSUs have the sort of "liar-labels" no one minds. My Delta-built SG-650 is apparently good for up to 840W. Too bad it only comes with two PCIe cables.

 

[azzazel_99]

Perhaps I will rma this one to corsair just because. I've got time before my next build that it will be going into.

 

[jeremyp79]

Not sure if anyone else was waiting on this case, but newegg finally has the corsair 760t in stock 🙂 Just got mine ordered.

My Antec HGC-750 is Delta built and HardwareSecrets were able to pull 948w from it without it shutting down. I still remain with my opinion that Delta is currently about as good as it can possibly get.

This place became a ghost town........

Been hanging around at Reddit now lol. And the amount of humor I have been looking thru at /r/pcmasterrace/ has been great haha

Good news for me is that I'm finishing my CNC college class either this month or next month. Then straight to my machine training in a Mitsubishi horizontal machine 😀 Then I can start my project engraving for my case.

 

[azzazel_99]

Awesome man. That would be cool

 

[Onus]

I fired up Omega today to try to rescue some data off of a drive from a coworker's Dell (it has a HDD dock on it). It was pulling 239W from its UPS. By contrast, right now Gypsy is pulling 72W.

Daniel Sudakov - Sorry man, Been busy with school. Lots going on. Dont even check my email....so much stuff to do

Yeah yeah lol, I feel you. School and work for me. Plus the Easter holiday drinking and eating 😀 Hope school goes well for you, a friend just finished his final exams.

 

[tiny voices]

I have finals next week as well.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Oh god.. Finals... Taking classes that I should be taking the next year. And I missed half of the year.

 

[Mirakledba]

Tiny and Daniel - My last day to submit work is ON my birthday (July 2nd). I am also going to be fasting that day as it is ramadan, and studying for finals as finals is 5 days later..... :L

 

[mathieub]

[Mirakledba]

Best of luck.

So I've been messing around with my GTX 750 ti. This thing is sweet! I just got done gaming on it for an hour. Played Bioshock Infinite on custom settings, it's 1080p and Ultra settings with AA turned off. I held 60 FPS for the vast majority of gameplay except for a few momentary dips into the 30 FPS range. However the card comes stock at 1085MHz core / 1350MHz memory and I am running it at 1402MHz core / 1650MHz memory, on stock voltage (1.150v). The max temp reached during this session was 55C in a 23C room. The fan speed never got over 60% and is super quiet. I think I am in love with this card. So tiny, but packs a punch. Check her out with the backplate installed.





EDIT: Wanted to add one more little tidbit, with this card at 1400MHz and my i5 @ 4.5GHz the highest I pulled from the wall was 135w. Average around 115w

 

[nukemaster]

Damn that's good.

What is the fan speed at 60%?

 

[azzazel_99]

Thats awesome!
