(Restarts pc) behaves like 500 watt psu

[ARC_]

my pc restarts as reaches to 550watt consumption? For some unknown issue please help.

 

as i overclock my multiple gpu to 550 watt consumption pc screen freezes and restarts but are 514watt consumption works fine 

[Tristerin]

550w to a GPU?  That would be 3 8 pin PCIE cables maxed out + the 75w maxing out from the slot itself (525w avail) - only cards Im aware with that are Kingpin and Hall of Fame variants?  (that many connectors)

 

Need more info

as i over clock them work fines for 5 minutes or sometime 30 but then the screen freezes ... only with 550wat of consumption 

[Tristerin]

What board, what GPU's, what software - is this a mining setup? Need details.

[Grabhanem]

How are you measuring that 550W? and which cards are you specifically using?

 showing me the wat and cards are rx580 8gb

What is the wattage limit on the 12v rails that feed the GPUs?

Also, are the overclocks even stable? It could have nothing to do with the power supply, just a bad combination of voltage and clocks in your OC.

What @SpaceGhostC2Csaid.

 

When you aren't overclocking there isn't an issue?  And when you OC it is an issue?  That's a GPU issue in my book.  Are you using specific BIOS for mining?  Or just compute on the card?

[Tristerin]

Reading your responses again, either its a bad OC, or thermal shut down (works for 5-30min)

 

When you don't OC - you don't have this issue though?

 

 

I have one question - have you turned on Compute in the drivers?  This is like double the horsepower for hashing.

[Grabhanem]

I'm not sure I'd trust etherminer to give accurate power consumption-- normally RX580s draw a lot more than 100W each, mine was closer to 200 (admittedly I never mined or otherwise computed with it but I'd expect gaming power consumption to be less if anything.)

 

Can you measure power with a current clamp or wall sensor or something?

[Tristerin]

I hope he responds - Im curious if he was even using Compute (why AMD cards are amazeballs at hashing) and if not, and did, realized any overclocking was useless using the Gaming side of the drivers.

yes i am on compute mode and have no issue without overclok

no i  have to order it from amazon

also using msi afterburner for oc setings

no have not bios modded any of my gpu just using computer.

I haven't overclocked with Crossfire in a while - but doesn't it apply the overclock from 1 card to each card?  Silicon is unique per GPU, you wont be able to guarantee to get them all to behave the same.

 

I recommend finding the lowest common denominator for overclocking (whatever your shittiest overclock is apply that across all 5) - correct me though if I am wrong and if you can individually address them in MSI afterburner?

np i have just made them to compute mode and all the setting for O.C went by them self i have just lowered the power to -29.

Compute mode ftw with AMD cards

Compute mode ftw with AMD cards

i guess i had wrong O.C setting form msi afterburner now changed to:

core 1150mhz

memory 2100mhz

If PSU trips due to too high power consumption (which would be about 1400W with 1000W Antec HCG) then it would latch off, meaning that wouldn't just shut down or restart but it will shutdown completely not letting you start the PC again until you cycle the power switch. So unless it does that, likely it's just unstable OC, not PSU or power draw related problem.

problem solved for rx 580 that was bad O.C thanks everyone for helping:

Correct- Msi afterburner now changed to:

core 1150mhz

memory 2100mhz
