Hallowen are you prepared for the event of the 1600W PSU not having enough juice for all 4 cards? It does seem possible to me @ approx. 400W per card of available power. Curious because I saw over on KPC a while back that TiN tested the 580's and found they can draw ~850W per card peak usage. Could be worth looking at putting one of the cards on the 1200 TT PSU instead. Link: http://kingpincooling.com.../showthread.php?t=1203

I Have All Three 8-Pin and Three 6-Pin Not being Used on the Thermaltake 1200W, So if I Need More Power for the KPE's, I can put One on that PSU. Of Course if Push comes to Shove, I can Always Buy a Second Rosewill Hercules 1600W!

It is VERY Possible that the KPE's are "Throttling" due to Not Enough Power!

It's Going to Be awhile before I can do any More Testing Since I have to Re-Load a Fresh Copy of Windows 7 X64. I'll get back when it gets completed and I Finish the System Installation. EDIT: I ALSO have to Look for a SECOND Rosewill Hercules 1600W!

Once I get my bench disk all perfect, I back up an image of the disk, so I never have to re-install windows. I use the free version of macrium. Use an e-sata cable to an external drive takes less than 3 minutes to back up or restore the image. Even my larger drives that are over 200 gb full only take 16 mins to fully image.

Well, That was just the Trouble! I Didn't have my Backup Bench Disk Made to My E-Sata External 1GB Drive Yet, So No Choice But to Re-install. EDIT: Speaking of Trouble..........How Fast Do You Think You can get off Your Couch when You're waiting for Windows to Load, and All of a Sudden One of Your CHILLER PUMP FLOW ALARMS GO OFF!!! Yes Sir, I Dove off that Couch like an Olympic High Diver back over to My Rig to find out WTH! Thank GOD it was the MB/Vreg Water Loop Pump that Failed and NOT THE VC PUMP!

Yeah I know I had the same issue running 2 295's @ 800+ and an i7 on a 1000W PSU, FPS would start dropping and then the whole system would just power off. Adding an 850W to it cured that issue. I would try one card on the TT 1200W first though to be sure and see if that works. How bad was the pump failure?

Putting One Card on the 1200W didn't make any difference, so I'm going to try Just 2-Way SLI again to see what's going on. The Pump (Which BTW is a underwater 120VAC Pond Pump I've always used in my Chiller) that Fed the MB/Vreg just Died, But I had a replacement for it and Now at Least the Chiller Loops are Functional again.

I Have Found The Problem!! In this First Vantage Screen, I have Scores EXACTLY Like My other 2-Way SLI Benches with the same OC Settings I used with the TWO KPE's in SLI. In the Second Vantage Screen, I Start to LOSE FPS in 3-Way SLI (Throttling is Starting) and the GPU Score becomes LOWER than just 2-Way SLI. In 4-Way SLI (Which I didn't even Bother to Show a Vantage Screen), There is SERIOUS Throttling limiting my FPS to around 320 like I mentioned Before in another Post! To Sum it All Up........ Two KPE's in 2-Way SLI NEED a 1600W PSU to be OC'd HARD, and I Need a SECOND Rosewill Hercules 1600W to even THINK about High OC's in 4-Way SLI.....Possibly EVEN A THIRD is Not Out of the Question! EDIT: 4-Way SLI with Four KPE's is Doable, Just as long as they are at Factory Stock Settings and No Voltage Increases, But THAT to me is Such a Waste of the Performance Potential of these Graphics Cards.

Gunslinger PM'd me back and said He was having similar PSU Problems, and also said that Vince (Kingpin) On LN2 at high clocks was seeing 1500W+ being pulled by a Single Card! Holy *********, I Have to assume that on LN2 You would Need at Least FOUR 1500W+ PSU's to provide enough Power to the Cards!

Well, If it's not One Thing...It's Another, First I Finally manage to Buy Four KPE's + Four EK WB's, and Now (Just to be on the Safe Side) I Need Four 1500W+ PSU's! BTW: I've Been Surfing the Internet for Days and There are Absolutely NO 1500W - 1600W Single or Two Rail PSU's in Stock ANYWHERE!

Q56_Monster Just buy some old used ones hallow. A good single rail 1200 off Fleabay, the marketplace, or any of the forum buy/sell sections. String em together.
When I Connected My Thermaltake 1200W that had ALL of the three 6-pin and three 8-pin PCI-E available, But was already being used as the Main PSU for the MB and OC'd CPU on just One KPE, I had Artifacting like Crazy on Vantage at the same OC Settings as the other Three KPE's that were Already Underpowered with the Single 1600W on Them (as My Tests have Shown), So I Immediately Dumped That Idea Before Something Got Damaged! I Don't Think buying another 1200W+ to try and run the other Two KPE's will be sufficient, Since I have already shown in testing that Two OC'd KPE's required at Least One 1600W with an available 110A Single Rail to Operate at the Levels I want. Yes, I agree with You...........I probably Could Jury rig some old PSU's to get the Wattage I need, But THEN I Take the chance of Screwing up Thousands of $$$$ in Hard-to-Get Graphics Cards. Finally, Last Night after Hours of Internet Surfing (looking at my Laptop Screen until my eyes were blurry) I managed to Find another Rosewill Hercules 1600W that I bought IMMEDIATELY, the only problem being is I won't get it delivered to me for a week or so, But then at Least I will have the Exact Same Wattage and Amps Fed to All Four Cards! If a Total of 3200W doesn't do the Trick of running Them on Just Water Cooling (Not Sub-Zero or LN2)................The Only Other Option that I can see is buying Two More 1600W PSU's on Top of the Two I will have. Quad Graphics Cards.....................Quad Power Supplies...................and a 200 AMP Service Installation for My House!

Like I have Shown Before, Anything more than 2-Way SLI results in a 3K - 5K Reduction in Vantage Scores along with what appears to Me as "Throttling" in 3-Way and 4-Way SLI because the FPS Just won't increase any Higher no Matter WHAT You set Precision X to. In 4-Way SLI, I can almost get the same scores WITHOUT OC'ing or using Presicion X as I Do with setting Precision X at +400 on GPU and Memory! There Must be SOME Kind of Scaling/Throttling issues, But I have Not found out why as of Yet!

I am in the Process of re-loading windows 7 and I don't have access to it ATM. I am using KPTI_SA-Classy-tool-1.5v.rom (Revision 4 02/05/2014 by skyn3t) from Overclock.net in the EVGA GTX 780 Ti Kingpin Owners Club Thread. http://www.overclock.net/...ed-k-ngp-n-owners-club

I Have a Theory about My SLI Problems in 3DMark Vantage....... I was Looking in Futuremark Hall of Fame in 3DMark Vantage (Performance Mode) and I Think that 3DMark Vantage (Performance Mode) is the Problem I am having in 4-Way SLI trying to use 4 Geforce Cards. I noticed that ALL of the High Scores in Performance Mode, and Even Kingpin's #1 Score was done with only TWO Cards in 2-way SLI. There was Only ONE 4-Way Score (#2 highest) that used 4 Radeon 7970's in 4-Way SLI (Don't Know WHY 4-Way Works for these Radeon Cards) after which everyone is back to using 2 Geforce Cards in 2-Way SLI, But NO 4-way GeForce Cards were used until position #31 (4 x GTX 580's) By Contrast, In the 3DMark Vantage (Extreme Mode) I see that ALMOST everyone in the Top Scores are using 4 Cards in 4-Way SLI. There HAS to be a Reason that Even KINGPIN Doesn't use 4 Geforce Cards in 4-Way SLI when Benching in 3DMark Vantage "PERFORMANCE" Mode, and You Might even Also Notice that I am in the #8 Position in the Hall of Fame 3DMark Vantage (Performance Mode) using Only 2 Geforce Cards in 2-Way SLI!

Well, It Seems that My Theory MAY have some Merit, Because Evidently when I run the KPE's in 4-Way SLI with 3DMark Vantage EXTRTEME MODE Enabled, In The Futuremark HALL OF FAME, I am #1 ! But even though I managed to Score this High, I STILL Think there is a Problem running 4-Way SLI that has Not Yet Shown Itself...............Hmmmmmmm. X67405
