Hi to all once more!
I'll cut straight to the chase here cuz my time is limited.I just upgraded to a gigabyte gtx 980ti about close to a week ago and decided to give my gtx 760 over to my younger brother.
As anticipated , he decided to do his own stuff and try to upgrade the card I just gave him, providing(guess!) only fruitless results.As I wasn't sure he was doing things right, I took over and decided to give the core clock and the memory clock slider a go, pumping up the fan to 100% and taking a unigine benchmark for every seperate 10 increment on core clock alone and then 20 increment on memory clock, reaching respectively a 50/150 core and memory clock stable oc.
I didn't touch the core voltage at all up until I wanted some more out of it, since 50/150 core and mem clock is a bit negligible.So about 45 minutes later and the clocks sitting at 80/200 each I had my first crash.I decided to up the core voltage abit not much, just 2-3 points out of the all an all 12v slider (using msi afterburner), as I thought I needed to give the gpu a little more power to breathe.It was then when the PC shutted down.Didn't have to think much.I just opened the case and checked the psu.A mere 550w psu from thermaltake.My first thought was that my brother needs a new psu as I checked their website and its a bronze certified one.I don't know if I'm correct or not but with this psu u can't do much anyways as the 760 needs a 500 w minimal psu.
Is it down to the psu or is it just the card what do u guys think.
Very srry for the long post and thx in advance.Ill appreciate every opinion.Ill come back at around 8 hours.Trip inbetween.
