670 failing wu's

Jumper118 · 6 Sep 2013 at 17:49

my brand new gtx 670 keeps failing wu's at stock clock! i was doing a 24hour test before starting to push the clocks up but it has fail some units 4 or 5 times. it averages out failing every 3 hours. it is not over heating and according to msi afterburner and gpuz it hasn't exceed 69c. the card is boosting to 1188-1251mhz even though it says in gpuz that it should only boost to 1098mhz. it can do run of heaven 4.0 sometimes but most of the time it crashes and either says the uigine engine stopped working or the display driver crashed. :confused:

try different drivers or underclock it a little and see if this does anything

ok last time i updated the drivers it killed a 20 hour old 660 but i'll give it a go

any luck ?

no luck

i've up dated the drivers and it was stable over night but it seems to be failing again this morning. i've down clocked it and it has failed again.

What's your PSU? Could well be that it's not quite coping with the GPU.

That should be okay but it's worth trying a different one if you can. It might be struggling a bit with the overclocked CPU and two GPUs.

try with just the 670 if your using 2 gpus.

ok its working now gpu boost was boosting it to 1241mhz which it wasn't stable at. so i've underclocked it by 50mhz so its still at 1188mhz boost. its working ok for 48 hours now.

hows is going now its been a few days then? whats the ppd been estimating?

My 670 is fixed at 1200 with an OC BIOS and it runs at just below 80K. 1188 should get very similar numbers.
