newer and more powerful graphics cards require more power than just what the 6 / 8 pin connections can handle sometimes. if you're using multiple cards like this all at once, you're putting a heafty load on the MB PIC-E slots... thus why the 4pin points are there. plug those in and i bet your problems will go away.

on another note... here's my offering with the 980x on water:

oddly enough both bench marks are set to the same standard startup settings yet Vantage seems to always score higher than 06 bench for me for some reason... i dunno. at the same time, with 06, no matter what settings i put it to it ALWAYS gets roughly the same score with a difference of only around 150-250 points each time...

only thing limiting me now is my memory, but the 12gb 1866 Dominator-GT pack coming in a few days will fix that right up :P

system:
CPU - 980x @ 4.4ghz 1.38v, not 1.45v as CPUz states
Mem - G.Skill ECO's @ 12gb 1600mhz 7-8-7-24-72 2T timings w/ 1.62v
GPU - HD5970 @ 950core / 1253memory

sorry for image size, i can't seem to make it smaller without making it unreadable...
