Skydiver Benchmark?

[bbond007]

Just wondered if anyone has run into an issue with this benchmark on their upgraded x51.

I have a 1st gen 3770 i7 x51 with 340watt PS and GTX 660 TI OC.

I also have a SSD and 3TB HD.

I had an issue with it crashing requiring the computer to need to be hard reset.

After updating the drivers failed to help, i tried putting the GPU power to 80% which made it run without issue.

Very nice looking benchmark that really runs nice on my x51.

I just am sort of wondering if my PSU brick is getting weak, or if this is just the first thing I have run that really pushes the x51 that hard.

Thanks!

15390 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti(1x) and Intel Core i7-3770 Processor

bbond007,
Sounds like you are maxxing out your 340watt psu. If you want to get more out of your 660 oc here is some suggestions that might help: here is ehat i did with my x51 r2 i7 4770k. I have a Radeon r9 270 and getting some nice oc numbers. I added a corsair cx750 watt psu external to the graphics card. I installed TRIXX SAPPHIRE oc tool so i can also adjust voltages of the card. Im currently running stable on all CODS including ghosy and BF3/4 at 1255 ghz from 925 ghz before ocing, my voltage is 1.275 with no crashes. I also installed a side case panel fan 80 mm over the cpu fan for better airflow out the case. I'm also going to install 2 125x25mm exhaust flat fans to suck. Hot air off the the card and interior. Hope this helps you.
