cpu no longer overclocking

just checked the video and a single 295x2 pulls about 700w
so there really is so need for the ax1200i wattage wise, might even get away with a rm850

My advice is use a wattage calculator online (there is probably a sticky somewhere with a link) and just get a reliable psu. Just don't skimp on it!

Sorry I was referring to the 1500W part, the maximum draw that I observed with my set was about 287W each, this was with OC so was a bit surprised. thx for the vid

Sorry I was referring to the 1500W part, the maximum draw that I observed with my set was about 287W each, this was with OC and maximum load and heat setting/

keep in mind i'm referring to the 295x2 as you want to go 290x cf

yea, sorry I misread, fixed it before you finished your reply haha

Got myself the rm1000 today, as platinum wasn't exactly much better. Unfortunately the problem still persists, I managed to have it OC'd to 4.8ghz with about 1.39v prime stable, but then after I started a a game and played, it just crashed after about 5 min or so, the prime stress test was only for about 12 hours though. Good news on the gpu side though, managed to get it to 1300mhz core stable through haven with 100% fan speed xD (won't be trying that again till I add both cards to my loop 94c)

Also are there any good AMD CPU options right now? or have AMD just stopped in the CPU side?

Just an update, I decided to rebuild my watercooling loop and in the process I cleaned the CPU. Now there was some TIM in the tiny gap inbetween so I cleaned it out as much as I could. Now it is OCing past 5ghz again .

The problem though is that I cannot decrease the voltage, while it is stable at 1.44v, when it starts to idle it just crashes the PC due to the offset voltage. Havent played around with the other voltages yet but so far so good.
