MOBO: Gigabyte 970A-D3 (updated bios via windows utility) - I had this already, I'm wondering if this isn't a weak spot in the build
CPU: AMD FX-8350 (cooled with a Corsair H80 liquid cooler) - Would like to OC it eventually
RAM: 2x4Gb DDR3-1866
GPU: 2xSapphire HD7850
HDD: Samsung 256GB SSD
PSU: Seasonic SSR-650 - wondering if this isn't powerful enough? I also had this already
So I ran passmark and was getting unimpressive results. Both GPUs showed in CPU-Z, but I noticed the fans on the 2nd card weren't spinning during the benchmark. I pulled power from the 2nd card and re-ran the benchmark and it was almost the same. I checked the Catalyst Control, and crossfire was enabled.
Is the MOBO junk for this application (gaming)? Not enough watts? I'm open to replacing either or both.
