Hi,
I hope someone might be able to help me, I've got a system with the following specs;
Antec 900
Coolermaster Silent Pro M 1000w
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Intel Core i7 920
3 x 2gb OCZ Gold DDR3
Intel X25-M 80gb SSD
2 x 500gb SATA HD's
MSI GeForce GTX580 Lightning (running middle monitor)
GeForce GT210 (running left and right monitor)
Over the past few months I have noticed that during long gaming sessions when its been under load for a couple of hours my PSU will spin its fans up really loudly for a few seconds and then go back to normal. I assume its getting too hot and its a safety feature to cool itself? My GT210's PCI-E Slot is right above it (bottom mounted PSU).
Anyway, last week I had a random shutdown and when I restarted it I smelt burning for a couple of seconds although I cannot work out where the smell come from, all parts are working okay from what I can see, I can game etc fine.
I was told by a friend to do an OCCT GPU test which will create some screenshots at the end that might give us some pointers if there is a problem in my system.
So I wondered whether someone with some knowledge on PSU's would be kind enough to have a look at the attached screen shots and tell me whether I should do some more investigations on the system or not?
I have looked round the net to see other peoples test results and mine are very erractic, a few I found has a perfectly stable green line for the FPS, how come mine starts off stable then after a minute or two jumps around loads?
Many Thanks,
