luk man i want to share this with everyone there is no problem at all with the PSU. I have even installed My own 8800gt and the palit 4870 on the PSU.
Nothing happened to it. its the the Faulty Palit and ATI chip that are to be blamed.
Was you trying to test Crossfire + SLi might work on that PSU..:rofl: Let me clear your mind, even if you try four cards on 600W, it won't blew up unless all four are working..In your case, it was 8800GT that was giving display & that too at
IDLE state where GPU hardly eats 40W power.. :hap5:
I hav an local PSu 450wt quantum and i have overclocked my system on this PSU why didn't my
PSU got burnt or My 8800gt got burnt on that local PSU.
It didn't got burned coz the setup was different, you had cheapo dual core OC & 8800GT which consumes as much less than half of power as of HD4870.. Here you have a power hoger 4870 with quad core & high end mobo which eats more power than your dual setup on cheapo PSU..
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
hyeah:
U should Think less and try not to do more..
I'd suggest you should Think more and try not to do less..:rofl:
but this one isn't blown. Its MUZUx2 who is making all u agree on "PSU is Faulty" and not ATi. The PSU is working Fine and good at least better than Palit ATI 4870.
where you saw i'm telling here to everyone that your PSU is faulty.. i simply replied to SidhuPunjabs post that i was also thinking that PSU is culprit. BTW, we all TE members here won't reckon CM EP 600W to anyone going for high end System, there are members who have issues here with same PSU with high end cards, this is what Gunman was telling you..
You did blunder, buying CM EP600W PSU for high end system,having half the knowledge is more dangerous than having no knowledge at all..im not saying CM 600W isn't good PSU, it was good one in its own glory days back in 2006..Its still good for low - midrange systems but not with high end, and we simply here don't reckon it..
The truth is that, CM EP 600W isn't giving you output of 600W at peak loads, it only gives 400-450W at peak loads as its efficiency is only 70%.. . furthermore, its dual rail with 18A on each rail i guess.. But, the fact is that its not outputting 36A on two rails which is recommended for HD4870 instead its only outputing 18A on two rails, too low to handle 4870..There are lot of these myths about Psu..try to learn here

So, in your case Its prolly a CM 600W which i & others here believe is culprit.. & welcome to the forums..
correct me guys if im wrong..
