Are the cards still running hot? Download afterburner and turn the fans up.

Yeah sounds like a psu however system usage for 6870 xfire is only around 415-500 watts.

How do you have your cards hooked up? molex to 6 pin or what?

**Rummy** · 10-03-11, 02:59 PM

Zero try using just one molex connecter per 6 pin and see if that works. Your power supply should be enough.

Try it with just one molex per 6 pin.

**Rummy** · 10-03-11, 04:20 PM

first one

Also of you are overclocking you may want to put that at stock until you are running stable. PSU might not be able to handle it all.

**Rummy** · 10-04-11, 03:58 PM

Yes the psu is struggling also run your cpu stock not the gpu.

**Rummy** · 10-04-11, 03:59 PM

I would get a new psu.

**Rummy** · 10-04-11, 04:32 PM

The AX no doubt. Get it NAO.

The AX will last you a long time.

I would also remove the second 6870 ASAP until you get the power supply as to not damage any components.

Yeah your PSU is a pile of crap. A good 750w psu is fine for that setup, not a crappy one. But yeah, get the AX750.

**Rummy** · 10-05-11, 01:36 AM

The Ax 750 is Gold certified and the Hx is Silver certified. The AX is still the better psu even though the rails are different.
