I don't want to create a topic at the Technical Support since there's a topic about SLI here. Have this problemo with my 8800GT SLI's. First it freezes the computer, then came out this stuttering sound then suddenly shut downs the computer (only during games). Thought it was the sound driver so I updated the driver but it still happens. Can anyone icon_question.gif

Bro eyern..

I guess ur PSU is not sufficient enough for ur GC's.. u got a zotac AMP there.. it is same as a OC version of other brand.. (OC version need more juice of power)

Try google for a sufficient PSU to power dual zotac AMP since u got that one..

Before i go for sli, i'm using CM550W Real Power... that is for normal setup.. but for OC (proc,rams,GC's) u need at least 600Wtt of real power PSU...more is better..

Are you sure my PSU not enough? I've read somewhere on the net says that 8800GT SLi requires 450W. But they didn't state which version of 8800GT whether normal or OC ones. I'm thinking of getting OCZ 600W ModXStream Pro Power Supply. Should be okay right?

I like your gc bro.. XFX tuuu brows.gif

if u hav an extra bajet, just get the 1k watt psu. Can power dual gtx280 in future.  Hehe:)
If u dont, get 750watt from CM.
600w is just ngam2 la bro.

1000W too much for me bro. I'm not planning to upgrade my gc yet huhu.

For ur earlier post, yes i would say ur psu is too low for ur setup, it'll stress ur psu too much, heat-up etc, and in ur case its not enough juice. shakehead.gif  Get true power >550 at least, 600> best, ive used CM Real Power 550 for my Sli with 2 oc-ed 88gt's n oced proc, runs fine . . . though its a bit too much for the psu coz of ocing. sweat.gif  Now im using CM 850 for my gtx260+ . . . single though, not sure if its sufficient for Sli. hmm.gif
Bro, if u have dual GTX260.. u also u need a bigger case tongue.gif. Yeah.. probably insufficient power. I was thinking about what you guys said.. getting CM Real Power 650W (Standard) or CM Real Power 620W (Modular)?

Time to upgrade psu pulak cry.gif
