Is it normal...
.... to hear the PSU "wind up" when an application produces a lot of
graphics such as 3dMark 2005? I can't even make it thru 3dMark without a crash... 6800GT PCIe 535W Enermax |

Some PSU's have a thermal controlled fan, so it spins down according to the temperature. And since the gfx card eats more power when its stressed, its normal it "winds up". 6800GT PCIe 535W Enermax Ought to be enough. Try open the case or apply extra cooling. Maybe you can set various fans in the pc to run at full speed despite the temperature. -- This episode is called: "an elephant ****s a pig". But the networks had it changed to "an elephant makes love to a pig". Which is kind of silly, because if an elephant was on top of the pig, it wouldnt be making love to it, it would be ****ing it !

It couldn't run my A8V and 6800GT if I connected more than 3 drives. Not good... put in an Antec 550w true and all is well. |
