SLI 1070 crashes

[FdeXupp]

Hi,

I currently have 2 gtx1070s setup in SLI. But they are crashing even when I'm not in game and the temps are always in low 60s.  I hear the GPU's fans maxing out and my pc freezes. Whenever it reboots sometimes my resolution is changed and I can't access Nvidia Control Panel like it is missing and then I need to reboot a few time for it to load.

 

Specs (if that can help):

CPU: Intel 4790k,

Mobo: Asus Maximus Hero VI,

GPU 1: Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070,

GPU 2:  Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 (bought recently used),

PSU: Corsair ax860,

 

I have 3 monitors all plugged in the top card.

 

I tried reinstalling drivers and wiping my whole computer.

 

Thank you.

So both cards have been tested by themselves in each pci slot used?

No overclock?

 

what benchmarks are you running if any? Not just jumping into a game right?

 

Are you monitoring the system? That cpu will be struggling with two cards. 

[FdeXupp]

Haven't switch them. Will do right now.

They are not OC.

Benchmark used is Heaven.

CPU does not seem to bottleneck the cards.

Individually both card are working perfectly fine no issues.

this is with the benchmark running for 30 minutes.

That isn’t going to help much. Need an actual graph of what’s the system is doing. Normally a gpu program can give you all that info. As well as using the task manager for per core cpu and gpu usage. 

Gpuz will prolly be easier if you open up two instances.

are you using surround?

[FdeXupp]

[FdeXupp]

Bridge wont matter. Will still perform.
