Hi,
i've been arount these forums lurking for a while just never registered/posted anything. This is what happened to me and was wondering if anyone had a similar experience or know which would cause this - bad mobo or bad PSU. Motherboard is Asrock 970 Extreme 4 and the psu is Corsair HX 1050W. It was running 5*7870 and power consumption measured at the socket was 960-980W and 4-5A current. It was running fine for about 2 months untill yesterday Smiley I only noticed because my miners went offline, but the fans on GPU's kept running and the PSU still turns on.

5 * 7870 was bad idea, are they overclocked or overvolted?
