Title: ruining 2 gpu's without powered risers??? Post by: ibrahim11 on January 06, 2014, 10:42:39 PM Hi, I was wondering if I could run my 7950 and the 280x straight off my extreme4 970 mobo without frying it. Is this possible?

Post by: nachius on January 08, 2014, 03:33:08 PM Power supply should be fine. Most mining software will let you monitor the gpu temps if they consistently push over 90*C they are getting too hot. Type of fan really doesn't matter as long as it is moving the hot air away from the cards.

How can I monitor how much the components are asking from the psu. I have a watt meter but that will only tell me how much the psu is using. |
