Hey guys

I recieved my gtx280 cards from foxconn a couple weeks ago and I have started to test triple-sli with vantage.

Foxconn Dreadnought 790i
3x Foxconn GTX280
Corsair Dominator PC14400 sticks
Silverstone 1000OP
Featuring tek9 4.0s gpu and astra cpu pot

So far my testing has been on air and only entry and performance this is with gpus at stock clocks. I have prepared my gpus for subzero now and the testing will begin this weekend...

Watch this space

you gonna need a more powerful PSU
we saw power usage spikes with quad at 4.5GHz and cards at slight OC on air all the way up to 850W with dual cards and system.............tripple card was running off of another PSU

1KW with what you are planning to run won't cut the mustard

are you planning to grow and extra pair of hands or something
that's crazy dude
4xpots lol
