Hi guys, I'm wondering if I should drop another $300 to get a WC'd 5970, and actually use my rad.
I currently run a rig with the following specs:
2x 5970 (1 Water Cooled with an EK Block)
1x 5870
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7
AMD Sempron 145
Seasonix X-1250W PSU.
Watercool gear:
HWLabs 480 GTX Rad
4x 5400 Gentle Typhoons
XSPC D5 Pump Res Combo
Electricity ain't a problem, so just ignore that. I know that the WC'd 5970 pulls about 84 Amps. (Yes it's overclocked) I overclock all my GPUs. So I was wondering if my PSU could handle another 5970 overclocked?
I have a huge 480 Rad with 4 5400RPM Gentle Typhoons screaming away in my garage, so I want to kind of use my rad, but I'm not sure if my PSU is up to it.
Also I am running Windows 7 64-bit, so could I run 3 5970s and 1 5870, all overclocked, on my PSU, and be able to mine on THEM ALL. I hear some people say that 5 is basically the highest because after that it gets unstable, but others say up to 8 GPUs are fine. I'm confused. :S

I have underclocked my WC'd 5970 to get lower VRM temps. I keep all my VRM temps under 100 now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers. (Y)
