Bulldozer vz. Sandy Bridge

I kinda think it's also your PSU... My Ultra 750 (I also don't think it's actually 750W) is probably not also giving enough juice cuz once I start to OC at 4Ghz and upping voltage to normal settings, my video card driver would randomly crash & reset the screen. I know the 8120 processor would have no problems running overclocked to 4Ghz on stock fan as I read user reviews on sites like newegg. But my two GTX-460s are drawing much power on full load, and if the cpu/motherboard sucks a lot of juice, the GFx cards would starve out on power and crash the software. I just tried 9-boxing last night, and man... it's a whole different ball game. I'm no longer getting ultra smooth rendering, still decent, but I think the GFX settings will have to be lowered, and SLI would have to be disabled (which I will try tonight). CPU temps are rising to about 55'C and the core that's running two toons is fully maxed out, I'm averaging 70-90% utilization across all the rest of the cores running one toon each LOL.

ya av only got the one gfxcard but like i said i ran gpuz and am not even hit half my load. but a cheep psu is not a good move really. so i like see what i get paid and maybe get one shiped in for the weekend i hope this is the prob and its not the cpu my cpu i can get to 3.9 easy and temps are great i use a All on one H2O water cooler but my cpu u don't need a lot off v to get a good speed but i have to keep giving it more and more to get it stable and i know my stoping point on this cpu and i don't get a lot.


Got a Update on this: so i been doing some more tests and i find out am only using like 80% off my CPU when a lot is going on. Running it to 100% but its not staying at 100%. so i was looking into the PSU a bit more and find out the amps on my psu is only 32amps. then i find out my gfxcard needs 43amps so thats a right prob before we start. and its olny a 650w and i need 700w for what am running so am probs hitting a few extra probs. am getting a psu tomz and ill update you
