When I have SLI enabled on my AMD machine I get lock ups in games. I first blamed it on the PEG Link Mode settings. Now after playing around with it I’m starting to suspect the power supply. My video cards are consuming 280 Watts each and I don’t think my 600Watt power supply is cutting it. Its seems too do alright when the system is cool, but after playing one of my racing simulators for while it starts locking up in the menu screens. When the power supply is warm I suspect its putting out a lot less than 600Watt so I must be at the border line of minimum power requirements with these two video cards running in SLI mode.
I originally was going to buy a PC Power and Cooling 850SSI for this system but some told me that it was very noisy. I think its time to over look the noise for stability.
