Title: PSU problem and more. Post by: craked5 on April 14, 2012, 04:13:01 PM Hello guys! I got 2 questions/problems to ask this board.
The first one is, i run a mobo (Asus p5k premium) with a 5830 and a 5870 both running fine, so i bought another 5870 to add via a pcie x1 riser. I bought a compatible PSU to power the 3 card independently but it doesnt seem to work, the card turns on but with its fan running on max and no image is shown. Any advice? The other thing is i want to change to BAMT or w/e linux and i cant figure out where to find a program to change voltages, core and memorys in linux, help please :) Thanks for reading/helping! ;) Title: Re: PSU problem and more.

What happens if you swap the third 5870 in place of one of the other cards, with the original PSU?Title: Re: PSU problem and more.
