It'll work ok if its only two cards running (in any configuration) bit as soon as i try a 3 cards the last 2 instances started error out. How did you get yours running if you don't mind me asking?

The only thing I can say is there are good 295's and bad ones.:(

What OS are you using, the only way I could get 295's stable was on XP (32 or 64)
 
You don't need Pcie 2.0 x16 really, x8 won't cause much of a problem.

I think there is an old thread somewhere of my 775 multi gpu rigs.. let me have a dig
 
The PSU should be more than ample Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W.
I'm not using dummy plugs on xp and wasn't with Win 7 as it made no difference with the newer drivers. Although the 460's seem to need a plug in even though the desktop isn't extended.
Im running XP64 with the 295's. Does 1 instance of the client use 100% of a cpu core? thats all i can think of as a reason probly missed something whilst setting it up ;)

To restore balance to the world after this Wee madness, I've gone retro and I'm now using a PC containing a CPU clocked at 6 MHz. Which project should I try and how long do you think it'll take? :D
 
No client shouldn't use 100% of a CPU core. But you are talking BOINC, although I did do some boinc testing I didn't spend a lot of time on it but it did work. Not much help I know.

What happens if you remove all the cards bar the one giving problems and just use it on its own? Is it more stable?
 
Nah i'm not talking boinc that runs fine with all 3 i was on about F@H.
Think i may have sorted it earlier this evening did 2 full runs per card with all 3 running with no problems. Not sure what i did different this time must have messed something up in the initial setup/config which was then cut and pasted to the other folders :rolleyes: really should have done each ones config individually rather than trying to take a short cut.
Also it wasn't 1 card causing the problem it was which ever card i started running last.
 
Biffa, what client are you using for your GTX470s? 6.32 System Tray or 6.31 Console?

Any worth while PPD boosts using big or advmethods flags on these Fermi cards?

6.31 console
You can't do bigadv on gpu's you can put the switches in but they won't work, its not a supported switch.
You can put advmethods tho not that it makes a difference that I can tell.

Thanks for that Mr reaver sah! Looking at the wording on item description all 3 pcie 2 slots are x16 brilliant bit of investigation sah thank you!:D

As already quoted 4x 8x 16x doesn't really effect output on seti etc

I'm currnetly running an MSI P7N SLI Platinum with a Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz.

It ran perfect with 3 x GTX260's. It ran for a while with 2 x GTX470's & the GTX275/GTS250 Hybrid (although I had to utilise a second PSU as temps on the 1000w Corsair were a bit too high for my liking).

The motherboard itself will only run dual sli with the third card used for Physx but I've had it for a few years now and can say with certainty 'it's on of the better choices I've made'.

Pic needs bringing to this page.

That looks Epic, Good effort. :cool:
 
This is what it looked like more recently:

And heres how much power it pulled:

It was a handsome beastie though.

P1100251.jpg


Its empty of gpu's now... in preparation.. preparation H you could call it... :eek:

The bad news is, I just found out that with the dual DVI ports on the Titans set one on top of each other I can't actually get the card to fit in the bottom PCI slot in this case.
20130507_002720_zpsbeef8451.jpg


Which means as I have gone for EK blocks this time round I won't be able to move the bottom card up a slot because the EK blocks are to phat. :(
The good news is I have another case that is waiting in the wings.

The bad news is I have to completely transfer the guts to the new rig and thats going to take some time.

Did you not run into the same problem of clearance on the original build , how did you solve it?
Are you transferring to "Mega-Beastie Case"? ;):D
Click to expand...

Its the only case that I've got that will fit without having to buy a new one.

So with the original build the 470's don't have the double stacked DVI ports, so I could and did originally have them spaced every two slots because I used a 1 slot backplate on the bottom card.

470:

Titan:

However during optimisation of the rig (and I did a LOT of tweaking initially) I found that with the Aquacomputer Twinconnect bridge allowed you to do one slot spacing, plus the Aquacomputer blocks are so bloomin thin that you could fit 7 of them in there if the OS supported it.

Look at the difference in slot spacing on the bottom card before I used the TwinConnect bridge and after.

Transferred everything into my seekrit weapon (well big frickin case actually)

Case is a monster! Dwarfs everything else I have, but I reckon you would never get a quad G34 mobo in there.
