so after this thread:
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16939
I got a new corsair 850TX
Lately, the burning has gotten worse (only when I play games). I take the connector out, push the sides of the 12v1's on the PSU connector together for a tighter grip, and to hopefully help 'scrape' some of whatever it is on that connector. Which usually works, the wire dosen't get as burning hot as it did playing games before, for a few days anyways
but today wierd things started to happen. One thing that happened before but not many times is win7 would startup and each video card would be "could not start cause the device reported an error", I restart once and that usually cleans it up, but now, it did it 3x times in a row, till I did whats mentioned above, and it worked
I'm playing New Vegas and I am starting to constantly get "Driver stopped responding, but has recovered" message. Something I only got a few times in firefox when flash activity causes the hardware acceleration to go on the fritz, but I never got it during a GAME
then after some research I realized 12V1 'powers everything but the CPU'. I know my video cards have 2x6 pin each, but I bet there are some power circuts that draw it from PCI-express on each card. (I have 2). One thing I also notice is every time I play that PSU pushed some REALLY hot air out. Is my system too strong for this PSU?
neweggs 'power supply selector' says 1200, but I figure they're padding the hell out of it to try and sell the higher shit
Asus P6T Deluxe V2
2x XFX GTX 285 factory OC
2x WD velociraptors
