Hello All,
(Using the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified Power Supply)
What would be best for overclocking the CPU and GPU single or multi rail +12V outputs using the x79 Motherboard with a i7-3970X CPU and 3 each GTX 680 Classified Video Cards.
What Ports would I use for best powering the Video Cards?
Thanks
Bill

    single, w/ single it wont matter which plugs you use. I use 1,2,4-7 for my 3 680's.

    Single Rail is best, with multi rail you have to know what cables to use to balance the load properly.

    Gaming Rig: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x @ 4.25Ghz - Asrock B450 Pro 4 - 16GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3000 - 240GB SSD (OS), 1TB ADATA SU800 SSD and 2TB ADATA SX8200 Pro M2 NVME (Games) - 8GB RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra - Sound Blaster Audigy 5 RX - EVGA Supernova 750w G2 - Antec 302 - 24" Asus VG248QE

    Only the manual came with mine, no white paper.
    Do you have a link to this White Paper?
    Thanks
