Hey,
I built this tower months ago and I found the graphic cards are not stable. I'm running NVidia Geforce GTX 260 (core 216) under SLI. At first, I used Windows 7 and I found lots of BSoD problems on nvidia driver, so I switched back to Win Vista, which doesn't really help. Then I tried to find out my GPU temperature, which are around 45~75 degrees Celsius, and I believe its a pretty fair temperature (around 75 degrees when playing Crysis).
I found that disabling SLI and PhysX would solve the problem, yet that makes no point to me because I've already bought the two cards.
I'm thinking if there's some sort of optimized BIOS or driver settings so that I can avoid this problem.
System: Windows Vista 64bit
PSU: Corsair 850Watt
Graphics: EVGA - nvidia GTX 260/216 SLI (no overclocking, runs between 45C~75C)
CPU: Intel i7 920 @ 2.66G + CoolerMaster V8 (runs between 35C~50C)
RAM: Patriot Vipers-1600Mhz 6GB
MoBo: ASUS P6T X58
Please let me know if there's any information that I forget to write on here...
p.s. I've never overclocked anything (the graphic cards were bought under never-overclocked condition)
Thank you very much!
