A warm welcome to our 2 new team members TehRainbowGuy and Christian, and welcome back to crunching for TeamOcUk Mr kolala sah.

Cheers for the News Tea Bag

Top of the flops and weekly dumpage lets improve that
And top of, still top single league.

 

[ToxicTBag]

Your welcome sah just don't forget to make your green pledge

Aaah i see you have a 2nd 260 and its allready producing, should propell your figures northwards for next week ahem .... unless of course Mr kolala has plans for your demise

 

[Meridian]

My production will drop a little over the next week or two (I'm down to only two machines anyway these days to keep the leccie bill under (some) control) while I try to diagnose a rebooting issue. I thought it was the increased o/c, but now it's looking like the two 480s won't play together. I have to stress test each first, then try both to prove that two together are the problem. The Corsair 850W PSU should be able to handle the load with both in, but I may have to think about replacing that if it appears to be the issue.

Thank you for the news Mr Tbag, it seems I'm still above k3v in the single league even though he crunched more than me this week , if I send a few Easter eggs your way can you see to it I'm above Marine Iguana as well?!

I wish you luck with your fault finding Mr Meridian sah, i would have thought 850 would be cutting it a bit fine with 2 x gtx 480 but [yoda/] either way a speedy return make you must! [yoda\]

Your welcome Mr dekez, well spotted and sorted now you mention it i could go a few easter eggs .... doh shops shut i forgot

11-1200w sounds more like it Mr Meridian sah, dont know how you got away with your old psu for so long

**Someones selling a 1200w new&sealed on mm**

Yeah I now have to keep eyes on the temp of my 470 as it likes to get a little warm, But ill just adjust the overclock according to time of day should keep things in check

 

[ToxicTBag]

Your still using the 800d so why not put the 470 at the bottom where it will catch more air from that incoming fan above the power supply

 

[Marine Iguana]

That would require me turning it off again I don't like doing that

 

[ToxicTBag]

Good point leave it till another night am off to nap catcha later Mr M

 

[edgedemon]

Ta for the news Toxic - I would give you a slap, for my name in the flops section, might post you a written slap! Seriously though, excellent news post.

Meridian - 1200W seems a bit high, but depends on what else you have in there?

My apologies good sah corrected

 

[Meridian]

Meridian - 1200W seems a bit high, but depends on what else you have in there?

Er...

i920 at 4.3GHz (at 4.2 currently for testing)
6GB RAM
2 x GTX480s in SLI
4 x SATA drives: 2 in RAID 0 and 2 in RAID 1
2 x DVDs
Swiftech H20 320 Edge cooling system
3 more 120mm fans

I would have thought less as well, but the PSU is the obvious issue. Anyway, just ordered a Corsair 1200W and we will see what happens.

[ToxicTBag]

Hope it all gets sorted right quick Mr Meridian sah

Well this ones been a long while coming, that'll teach me to go off slacking
Should be a lot of tiffy's out there this week....

Show 'em orf chaps wot wot !!

 

[Marine Iguana]

Good stuff Tbag

 

[ToxicTBag]

Cheers Mr M, is rig performing as it should after your tinkering?

 

[Marine Iguana]

Everything is working ok not had a single problem yet But tomorrows another day and that can bring disaster

 

[Meridian]

Cheers Mr M, is rig performing as it should after your tinkering?

It's not really tinkering yet: the new PSU won't arrive before Tuesday, and probably not until Wednesday, so all I've done is stability test with one 480. I've had one reboot, which worries me. Once the new PSU is installed I'll try again with just one card and if it survives a week without reboots I'll swap cards and try again. If each is OK alone, I'll then go back to SLI. If I'm still getting reboots with both cards on their own it will be back to the drawing board. But it will be at least two weeks before full production is resumed.
