hi,
I just recently got new CPU ram and mobo for my system. I got a E7400, 2gb OCZ SLI ready 1066 ram, and ep45-ud3r mobo. I got this hoping for the clock speeds that i see other people running wolfdale chips at. I wanted to get to 4ghz But can only get stable at 3.6ghz. No matter what try. But thats no the huge deal because 3.6ghz is still really good imo. So i ran occt for 1hr stable and prime95 for 20hrs no problem. So i assume it would be stable. But when i try to play any game (cod:waw gta 4 or battlefield 2142) i get Gfx issues. Textures disapear, and locks the game up but not the system vent still works and i cant ctrl alt delete out of the game. I have also after this started i put bios settings to oopitimized defaults with no luck.
After all day of trying to solve the issue. I think i might know what it is but cant find any info on it. The CPU power on this mobo is an eight pin. This i think is a problem because my PSU has two 12v rails and each 4pin power connecter it has are on seperate 12v rails. So what i am thinking is that now that my cpu/mobo is takeing up more power on the 12v rails that my gpu is not getting the juice it needs. Nvida says its suppost to have 26a on one 12v rail.
specs
2 hds both 7200 rpm
2 dvd burners
E7400
gigabyte ep45-ud3r
2ghz OCZ SLI ready 1066
8800gt
freezer 7 pro cpu cooler
PSU BFG power supply - 650 Watt Power Equipment reviews - CNET Reviews
I couldnt find a review site that shows what rails that the PSU has but it has two 12v rails at 20a each.
Thanks for any help in advance. I am not sure i am on the wrong or the right track. hehe
