CPU/GPU Issues

[Nicolasb]

Hi guys,

 

I'm having issues with my PC after installing 2 new GPU's and a new CPU cooler (H100i)

 

Here are my specs:

 

Operating system 64-bit Windows 8.1 (6.3.9600)

Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8Z77-V LE PLUS

Memory 16,384 MB   Processor Intel Core i7-3770K Processor

Reported stock core clock 3,500 MHz

Maximum turbo core clock 4,223 MHz

Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Vendor Giga-Byte Technology Co., Ltd.

# of cards 2  

 

I'm getting around 60FPS in WoW, random stuttering of the game and framdrops, no sound what so ever anymore from speakers but when I plug in my USB headset I get sound.    

Does anybody have an idea about what's going on?  

 

Thanks in advance!

did you update all your drivers when you installed you CPU and GPU

Everything is updated yes

how are your temps?

[Nicolasb]

They are fine, below 50degrees celcius for cpu under stress test and other components at around 40 degrees

 

how are your temps?

have you tried running something like MSI afterburner to make sure your GPU is working ?

No not yet. I'll try that out now.

 

By the way, when monitoring my voltages I noticed my CPU voltage is ranging from 0.9v to about 1.2v.

 

Is this normal or does that indicate a problem with the PSU?

 

Also, what you are asking me has nothing to do with the audio not working anymore.

Just installed afterburner and the GPU's are detected and showing readings.

 

Only my core voltage doesnt show any readings. Is that normal?

what type of PSU do you have?

[jslane21]

Test both of the 970s one at a time to see if there is an issue with one of the cards.

do you have your sli bridge connected?

[Nicolasb]

do you have your sli bridge connected?

Yes

[ELSknutson]

Yes

did you try taking the cards out?

The cards are fine.

 

I plugged my speakers in my frontal headset entrance and that gives me sound. Does this mean my motherboard might be damaged? The rear inputs don't work anymore.

it could be there might be an issue with your south bridge

What I have going on now is a part of the 'image' of my first screen as I enter the game lingers vaguely on my screen even if I move somewhere else. Only experiencing this in Farcry4 tho...Random framedrops apear in every game on highest settings.
