oh man, that sucks!!!

I'm back!!!!!   Just fired 'er back up with the PSU I have in my wife's office computer.  mobo, both vid cards, HDD's...all fine.  Thank you Jesus!
I'm one lucky man.

It was the main PSU that let go.....it must have been on it's last leg for awhile now.  That's why the gpus red lighted all the time.  They started to do it again tonight and shortly therafter...POPPPPP!

This little 750w PC Power & cooling PSU is handling everything fine.  It even has 2 eight pin pci-e connectors.   I'm not gonna push it though.  Gotta get up in 3.5 hrs...see ya!

wow Q, you dodged a bullet!  You bought your wife a PC P&C??  what a good husband you are.  I wouldn't DREAM of it.  But glad to know IF my PC P&C 1200 fails, my PC P&C 800W will hold me down until repairs are complete.

damn its early

getting closer...hopefully by next week...you'll have that 239 down.

Teach you how to get to 229?  I can't really do anything in 229 without 'extraordinary' cooling methods. 
 
if you got the 500, then get the 1200W PC P&C.  You may not need all that power now... but sometime in the next 7 years (their warranty) you just may

if not, just find a single rail.

Thanks, the more expensive one has the esa (599).  The label on it says peak power 1400 w (110A), while the label on the 499 model say peak @ 1300w (100A).  Could this account for the price dif, or is the price dif because of the useless esa?

The last image hasn't come thru yet, but your point is a good one nate.  Sometimes it's not all about cpu frequency.  You might even see a drop in your cpu score if you go higher.  Man that was one blistering physx run....I bet you could hardly believe your eyes watching that sucker.  And when it didn't crash, you probably jumped through the roof!

Can't wait to see it when it comes thru...man must be you're work's network that does that to your images.

True. Very true. Mhm another day of benching... Nice nice...

I wish I could get above 220 Bclk for my CPUz validations though... 230-250 would be amazing.

johnksss

and i think 16x vs 8x pcie....i gained 20 points in vantage..speculation of course

Hahaha. Is that all? And I think I'll start with Vantage today.. Then I'll go back to Aquamark and '01/'03/'05/'06.

my 31.5K single card score was in the last slot.  But I think my 759 board had 16X in all the slots.

I HATE when Calico crashes with like 6 seconds left. DAMN!

Yes, Yes...requires a little fine tuning all around.  Then just when you get over that hurdle, then physx starts crashing!

sawweeet??! 438?!!

seems i have dropped about .02 volts and kept my same over clock...seems now i understand what nate was talking about...lol

damn dbl post
