I am running a 2600K @ 4.7 1.48v and 2 290 pros @ 1200/1500 +150mv offset on a Seasonic X-Series 850W Gold. I can run Firestrike Extreme no prob all day long but Sleeping Dogs bench causes my system to exhibit the following behaviour:

-sounds like light rain hitting window emanating from around GPU/PSU area
-PSU spins up, very warm air exhausting
-PC reboots

Do the 290s really draw that much when OC'd? What should I do?
