Which sockets should I have the gtx's connected to?
 
Crysis and some 3d apps crash after about 1hr of play. Could this be a psu issue?
 
Thanks

hi
 
You should have the 4 green pci-express connectors, connected to your video cards.
 
Hard to say about the crashes. You have a psu that supports two video cards.
 
What kind of crash do you meen?
 
Does it reboot by itself ? does  your machine just freeze?What operating system are you using?What is it doing?
What are your machine specs?
 
 
regards
Laserman

It hangs in Crysis, image freezes, sound stutters for few secs more then loops a sound until manual reboot. Ntune Stability test used to run but now the image comes up but the characters don't move, If I press stop it does so, if I drag the animation window it crashes to BSOD with nv4_disp.dll error.
 
Thanks

Make sure if your not running two screens that your video card setting, in the nvidia controle panel , (MULTI-DISPLAY/MIXED-GPU) is set to single display mode,  
(extension) limit set to off,(error reporting) set to off,(SLI performance mode)set to single gpu,(comformant texture clamp) set to use hardware.
