Hence, the beeping is most likely the PSU warning you its running out of power as you are gaming. Remember, the watts draw up the more intense and long lasting a gaming session is.. so I could definitely see it becoming a problem.

lol i figured it out it was my ups beeping and shut off

 

[Sardaukar]

Ohh yeah, I'm pretty sure a standard UPS cant be used with that powerful of a system - they are typically rated for nothign more then a simple standard desktop computer. You are probably pulling more power then it can draw. And with the design of a UPS - it means you are constantly pulling from the battery backup - so once that battery is depleted, say goodbye to the performance of your computer.


Did you change it out to a standard wall plug? Should probably improve performance quite a bit?

 

[Alfons]

That was a bit.. unexpected :

Good that you've got it sorted now.

By the way, I haven't mentioned it before - but damn nice setup on the computer there.

well ty i picked everything out and built it by myself.

lol it was really stupid cause i kept hearing the beep and it sounded exactly like the mobo speaker and one time it just wouldnt come back on i tried for an hour or so to get it on and gave up was gonna buy a new psu till bout 5 hours later i went to put my 3ds on charge n it wasnt working my buddy saw the ups was off im like omfg r u serious that was the problem? plugged the pc directly to the wall instead and now everything works perfect. its a 750w ups i thought a ups worked like it charged and if the power went out it would use the battery then not the other way around lol.

i need to buy 3dmark 11 so i can do an actual bench but i got unigine so far benched

I don't really see the point of running sli/crossfire as 1 card has always been suffice for me.

Nice setup nevertheless though. I always recommend a higher-end ups for any system using over 800 watts. Better to do it right and buy what you need with room for improvement; saves time and money.

 

[themasher]

oh sli is nice 1 card is deff suffice tho but i got these for folding also lol

You must be rich; cyberpowerpc recommended 700w for my radeon hd 6870 so.. you must need a lot more power. But rishwin also said that they exaggerate the power requirement so customers spend more money.

 

[themasher]

well its around 1050 drawing on load with no o/c on the cards lol and well no im not rich a couple months ago my mother passed away and she was trieing to buy me the parts to my pc so i went ahead and paid them off and ya
