Wonder if anyone can help
I have 2 Sapphire 4870 512Mb cards in crossfire, they run perfectly well except when I try and play Empire Total War, which it seems stresses the cards to breaking point, after a few minutes of play my monitor loses signal and computer crashes, onlooking inside PC I see that the D601 LED is lit on my first card, which I know indicates critical core power failiure, Ive ran GPUz in background and logged to files which shows my temps skyrocket pretty rapidly with the following results
GPU temp(memio) reaches 119C
VDDC Slaves 1 through 3 reach 150C ***Problem***
Main temps dont go above 90C which whilst hot I believe is acceptable?
Clearly something is wrong, can anyone help me as to why only this game is causing my temps to shoot up and therefore computer to crash, and whether there is anything I can do to try and rectify situation
