Maybe it's too much for the psu... Got an add2psu adapter for a second 300-400W psu to power a 580 and take the load of the main psu. Trying that out in a bit when have time.
interesting.. It's actually very interesting topics on it's own, I doubt that anyone would be happy to see this BBQ in his/her rig =)
curious wheather it's only bad contact - maybe there are other reasons..any ideas???

if too much stress for PSU, I assume something inside that black /usally/ box should happen, not outside it. it makes no sense =)

But I'm not going to left my rendering without supervision,
I like my house and Im not going to burn it down. yet ;)
good to hear, that card itself is in good condition.

p.s. what exactly models You're using guys. it's intersting why system hasn't shut down itself too.

I have 3 Point of View 1,5 GB cards. My system actually kept going, with sparky sounds coming out of the psu... Turned it off immediately ofcourse ;)

Didn't mean to hijack the OP's thread, just wanted to contribute my experience :)

I must say I missed rendering with octane and its easy setup, been using mental ray and vray a lot and although the latter is quite fast in setup, octane still rules!

PSU: Enermax Platimax EPM1500 EGT 1500W
Mobo: ASUS P8P67 WS
GPU1 (display): Zotac GTX470
GPU2: Gigabyte GTX 590
GPU3: Zotac GTX 580 AMP2
CPU: i7 3770K @ 4.5GHz
plus some DDR's HDD's and SSD's

Everything nicely fit into Silverstone FT02.
...and works under Mountain Lion.

I bet that bad connection between cable<->PSU socket is the cause.
I used this GTX in my Mac Pro hooked into Booster X PSU for a long (render) time, no issues.
I should probably switch to Titnas. That was the first warning... no wait - second, the first was electric bill.

It is no secret that companies put in parts which break after warranty. Samsung does it with their LED Televisions. I know a lot of other companies too.

Nvidia would tell you to buy a Tesla card and it will not happen. ;) ;)
