Got a simple question.
I got an enermax 1250w psu, with 30A per 12V rail.
Also got a 1050w psu, with same 30A per 12v rail.
Each card is on its own rail.
The 1250 powers the CPU and 2xGPUs.
The 1050 powers all the pumps/HDDs/Fans and 2xGPUs.
So far so good.
Now, does the 30A per rail hinders the option to reach the card's requirments?
Before, I had 3 cards being powered by the 1250w PSU. Until I changed that, the system would halt when I tried to increase to OC up to a certain point. It would not shut down, just halt.
After I moved one of the cards to the 1050W PSU, I was able to push foward with OCing.
Now I got the same. Once I go over 968 core speed, the system halts in the same way. No drivers errors, just halt.
So is it the PSU? just not enough volts the on the cards?
What I can do, is use another rail and try to "split" it between two cards on each PSU.
Like card1 is rail 3+4, card2 is rail 5+4 (where 3 and 5 are the 8 pin connectors and 4 is the 6 pins).
Will this help?
I'm considering getting a couple of quattro 1200, which has a 38A per rail, but as I did some sleeving on my PSU, I'm going to lose some good money selling them.
