QX6700 + 8800 GTX SLI testing

[M.Beier]

How on earth can that PSU be strong enough?? :|

Nice modding, and cool config, but Sampsa my mate, you got some strong guts, thats just WAY to weak insulation, damn..

Looking good sampsa nice to see you benching again..nice units too

Nice pics there

Not sure about cooltek but Seasonic S12 650W can handle quad + SLI at least oc on air And to my surprise that same PSU worked with 24 HDDs as well when it was being tested

Very good start!
...waiting for LN2

I do not know Kiwi, my simple Xeon3060 + single 8800gtx pulls 460w just running orthos, let alone 3D.

If I had a QX6700 and a second 8800, I bet I could pull 700w...

As I said, I was surprised myself. We tested that Seasonic with my friend who has qx6700 + SLI GTX and it passed all 3dmarks several times. And the rig was overclocked of course. 12V rail was pretty stable, at least a few times when checked with DMM

HOW DID YOU CHECK THE WATTAGE?

[kiwi]

No need to shout Just attach watt or amp meter to the wall power socket and calculate

so sensitive

what sort of metre did you use?

[dinos22]

i just can't believe it would be possible that's all unless we are talking about superhigh overclocks here....even then i donno

Similar to this, I don't have it myself but I will buy amp meter (they are cheaper) and calculate I know I have 220V +/-

Kill a watt

Maybe u got a error in ur measuring or ur PSU have a efficiency like 40%..

My system, as it is shown in my signature, needs 360W while running 2 instances of Prime LargeFFTs and 3DMark '06 at the same time.

@Sampsa

Great results!

You are at 1.4xv, I was priming 1.6+v Try it..

Oh, and you do not have 8800s, they use alot of power just at idle..

QX6700 @ 1.55v, stock 8800GTX SLI = 733 watts in 3d03 GT1

[Boble76]

Sampsa, how's your 3DMarks going now? You already got LN2 I think...?
Can't wait results.

Good Luck!

Just shows again that high wattage is so overrated. A good quality 600 W PSU can handle almost everything.

Nice photos from the trip Sampsa

Good luck

[ent]

Wow! Sampsa is back , nice results, but I know you can do better

Nice pictures, especially Finnish juice

Well, Cooltek 600W has four +12V rails with 20A each so it's pretty good PSU. I have now replaced it with Silverstone ST85ZF. Also next time there will be better insulation

Whats the third mod on the card?

My Asus EN8800 GTX had wrong resistor value (50k instead of 25,5k) which was reported just before G80 launch so I fixed it.
