R9 290X Power

[Bloodkil933]

I have a 1300W SuperFlower PSU and i'm trying to overclock my 290X's but they both seem to only hit 1200 but anything above, they both artifact.

 

I was wondering if this was because they each only run off one 8 pin + 6 pin connector, instead of each having one 6 pin connector and one 8 pin connector?

 

Thanks

The power connectors are fine, it's the silicon that's preventing them from clocking higher.

I am fairly sure that the reason that is happening is because they are 290x's. 1200mhz is fantastic for two in one system. Most cards won't even get that high.

I had a feeling that was the case, was just unsure if they weren't getting enough power since they both only use one cable each

It's a split cable but it's the same as having two different cables coming from the PSU.
