For those that made it to the event i brought my box i just built firday last week <br>Core2quad<br>8 Gb - Ram <br>SLI 8800 GT 512 Mb video cards<br>500 Gb sata Hd<br>Case with plenty of fans (8+1ps fan)<br>650/750 watt Ps (suppose to be sli certified ... )<br>
<br><br>I have been getting random reboots on this box for some reason.<br>the first time it happened was 48 hours after i got the machine it happened twice during the demo.<br>and when i got home it also happen but pretty much 30mins-1hour. <br>
<br>According to lm-sensors the 4 cores under full load can run between 58C-50C with there being up to 8 Degree flux<br>between the cores. ( i plan to get some new heat sink grease and another Heat sink fan ) ( due to these processor <br>
running pretty hot to begin with this might be normal ) So this could be a heat issue. yet it seems to random and <br>could run some pretty intense programs like folding @home 64bit smp version .... and games just fine )<br>
<br>Power could also be the problem ....... ( so once i got home i pulled one of the 8800 GT in SLI out gona test this for a couple days ) <br>.... off to get a 1kw power supply if this is the problem or at least a supply with 2x 30amp 12v rails <br>
<br>Could also be a problem witth SLI and nvidia driver. i did set option SLI=0 to disable it and it still rebooted <br>
