Have a 5830 overclocked to get roughly 300mhz.  I have a second 5830 card come in the mail and it only gets 5 megahashes.  I go into msiafterburner and select the second card.  I overclock the card, hit apply and it wont stick.  I have a dummy plug in the slot as well hence the reason its getting the 5 megahashes.  Is there a setting somewhere I am missing to get that second card going stronger?  I have power going to both ports on the card.

Thanks!

Any good recommendations on monitoring rig software?  I am primarily using Windows 7 and was curious if any of you are using a piece of monitoring software that will email or txt you when your rigs have issues?

Thanks!

• 2x 5830
• MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard (picked up from Newegg open box for 32 bucks)
• AMD Sempron 140 Sargas 2.7GHz Socket AM3 45W Single-Core Processor SDX140HBGQBOX
• HD and Memory are already laying around.

Specs for the 5830 (taken from retailer website) say it pulls 500w from the powersupply . I currently have an 850w psu.  If i decide to plug in the second card is it better that i buy a 1200w powersupply or is there something else I can probably use safely?

Thanks!
