Title: 2Card Setup freezes after random time Post by: qiuness on July 02, 2013, 04:48:00 PM Hello guys...
Maybe you encountered this before. I have a PC with 2 7950's running stock.. that means i did absolutely nothing to them from a tweaking perspective. The problem is.. they freeze the PC. I use them with 2 16x-16x risers. So far i tried 1. exchanging the risers... no help 2. reinstalled windows... no help 3. exchanged cards between them... no help I`m running 12.8 Drivers with CGMiner 2.11.4 Temp is max 80C What i can still try is: -> Latest drivers...and maybe i don't know.. use a 3rd card as a primary card..i`m out of ideas.

Been trying to blow up an old 5850, and it runs between 85-95ēC all the time. Been fine going 24/7 for the past few weeks, so I really doubt overheating is the issue.

I dont know where are your 5850s from :)) Really? Mine gets sick after it gets above ~92, but then I just have CGWatcher restart it and it works fine. I know that thing is about to crap out, so I am not too concerned with it. Got it in like 2010 so it's had a good run lol Just focusing on making sure the 6950 stays healthy. My PSU was a 630 Antec from a long time ago and it would crash with the two cards. I think it was something to do with current, but I don't know. I used it as an excuse to get a 850W for $60 on CL lol Title: Re: 2Card Setup freezes after random time Post by: qiuness on July 02, 2013, 07:46:01 PM i've got an antec 1200W and this is the second PSU...
I`ll try to get the temp down, but it's strange that it freezes the PSU Title: Re: 2Card Setup freezes after random time Post by: Damnsammit on July 02, 2013, 08:15:21 PM i've got an antec 1200W and this is the second PSU...

Have you tried them with GUIminer? Same results?
