Tt Andy Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 That build looks awesome man! Just out of curiosity, 600w for crossfire 7970 hows the PSU holding up? you must be squeezing every little bit of juice out of that power supply ThreeEightySX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeEightySX Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Honestly I'm mind blown, It has held up since this post even with a 1045T overclock, it gets pretty warm after about an hour in BF4, but has never crashed on me! Don't mean to promote it here, giving the Thermaltake PSU's, But for a 600W this thing is one of the best bangs for your buck i've found out. Thanks Andy! Awesome to see that you guys at TT think its cool, I've put alot of time and money in this computer, crazy going from micro ATX and a HD6570 OEM too Full ATX and 7970 Crossfire, Case got real small real fast, but ive made it work lol.

Tt Andy Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Well if it works for you, that's good man! Seems like you have utilized the interior of your case very well ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeEightySX Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well if it works for you, that's good man! Seems like you have utilized the interior of your case very well ! Yeah it has, only problem im having now is GPU temps, temps are crazy high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tt Andy Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yeh, that's a big problem with 2 or more cards... when u sandwich the cards like that and your not using a blower type cooler all the heat just gets spread around your case. When i was running my 280x x 3 on air it was impossible to keep the temps down on the lower cards.. what i found helpful is to have a fan at the front of the cards pushing air directly between the cards.. doesn't look the best, but it works!

Tt Andy Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well i guess your PSU could be running near max and dumping out a lot of excess heat. Anyway my cards used to run around about 85 - 90C on air when i first started mining, then i changed the thermal paste and it dropped my temps to about 70- 75 so i think the easiest fix is to change the thermal paste though with some company's it might void your warranty so be careful.
