Title: Power Supply Issues Post by: altcointalk14 on March 01, 2014, 03:12:40 PM Ok, I have now toasted two 1000W, one 900W and two 850W psu's. I have a wide variety of cards all r9 variety 270 to 290x. My Killawatt meter should be here today, so any proceedures for setup to make sure I am safely using the max capacity of each psu is very welcomed.
last psu that was toasted: 850W (46A on one 12V rail) so 552W on the 12V. the only thing connected to this PSU two GPU : Asus R9 270 and MSI R9 270. Both of these cards were running stock bios/voltage. I thought I was only using about 65% of capacity. can someone explain/guess the mistake I made? Thanks!

My way to stay safe when buying PSUs: only buy Corsair, never had anything die yet.
