Overclock Evga 770 sli crashed

D007 · Aug 21, 2014

Man don't even worry about the OC. The two cards will beast mode. You don't need to worry about it. The OC wil gain you a tiny improvement but nothing to get bent out of shape about if you can't OC as much. You could always RMA the one card and try for a better overclocker.
Also that 750 psu is a bit light imo. I'd of gotten an 850 at least.

also you know eyes have a "maximum refresh rate" at 30fps~ ofc above 30fps its "smoother" but on a 60hz screen even with Vsync off its not of a big use ... (except for self satisfaction) and benchmark? having more than 112fps is not a big help, i had a SLI of GTX 580 Matrix Platinum solo: 980/1100 was the best stable i could achieve SLI: 816/1002 aka stock after all you have a 680 SLI it's already beastly.

indeed (OC accounted and WCL setup too but as i wasn't sure you did your double pump setup i left it on double so it might be lower)

fun ... my setup would also need a 850w if i go 290 CFX...

well not really ... (and i count a lil 4.5 OC in the process )
Minimum PSU Wattage:619 W

but i dont have a WCL hehehe:

that's unprecented ... a 290 CFX who eats less than a 770 SLI

(same OC on the CPU and both show 110w TDP oc'ed) nah its the watercooling setup who add some more W in the scale

(cheating a bit, i have less fans less SSD less HDD but i dont need them, or i don't need that much

eheh)

I have 2 780 OC rev2.0 cards from Gigabyte. The first one overclocks okayish but the second card I bought barely overclocks past the factory over clock. Was I disappointed? Damn straight I was. But in reality i began to realise, why am i trying to oc my gpus when there is no need to? So really, 2 780s or in your case 2 770s, there shouldn't be a need to oc past factory settings.

I was just a bit paranoid about OC the gpu

I was thinking the same about the psu, better to get some more watts. .

... its the recommendation from the calculator i use ... not mine xD i don't like corsair PSU either (tho the RM series is the only one i would eventually put my hands on ... )

i just copy pasted the result given and included the PSU type to show what they really recommend :rolleyes:

also next time use "edit" function

I would prefer enermax platimax over corsair.

Im not sure on Nvidia, but with my experience on Crossfire AMD cards, one card will clock like mad, but when a second card is tossed into the mix even though both cards clock the same your clock ability goes down.

Why? It doesn't matter whose PSU it is, what matters more is the OEM of the PSU itself. Most companies (Corsair, Enermax, etc.) just out source to OEMs like Flextronics, Super Flower, Seasonic to build their PSUs internals then throw some branded stickers on the PSU and sell it as their own.

Ill take an Corsair AX/AXi PSU before an Enermax Platimax.
