7970 overclock auto shutdown

[ruhtraeel]

Your right, this is not a gaming PSU looking at the 12v distribution but it still should work.

Looking at the picture of the 1050w, it looks like it has two PCI-E 6pin connectors. I may be hard to tracking down the individual rails because all of the 12v wires look to be all black, unless you can decipher the R, D and M. I think it's possible running this card using this psu, but you will need to choose your rails carefully. If you have two 6 pin PEG connectors then an adapter of this sort would more than likely work best. I wouldn't expect to overclock much or at all. If you have some extra money you should really be looking at another PSU oriented towards gaming.

This helps a lot, thanks. I'm still curious as to why the 750W one didn't work either (unless its power distribution was different as well).

If I got a 6 pin to 6+2 pin or 6 pin to 8 pin, would that connector deliver enough power to the card? I know 6 pins give 75W's, and 8 pins give 150W's. I was thinking maybe I could get a dual 6 pin to 8 pin (if they exist, I'm having a hard time finding them), and then use that + the dual 4 pin molex to 8 pin.

I bumped down voltage back to 1050 and the clock speed to 1025mhz, and my computer hasn't been restarting.


If it helps, here's a picture of the inside of my computer:
