Yesterday I rebuilt one of my open air dual GTX 970 machines into a 4U rack case. Unfortunately I lost the BIOS profile due to a dead motherboard battery, but I remembered most if not all of the overclock settings and had it back up and running again in no time. I left it on a bench in the comms room folding overnight and came back 24 hours later to check on it and install it into a cabinet, but instead of the ~600k PPD it normally produces, it's now churning out a mere ~120K PPD. Both cards are folding on FahCore_21, one is on 48k PPD and the other at 65k PPD. Does anyone know what might be going on here? This has crippled my efforts and I would like to get it running properly again. I had attempted to install a third card in the machine, but I didn't have enough PSU cables for my old 1250W Enermax to spread the load across the rails and it refused to boot with all three installed, so I pulled one and put it back into another board for now until I get some connectors from Hong Kong and make up some more PCIE cables.

Cards are not being utilised properly at all, the GPU usage as reported by MSI Afterburner is hovering around the 60-70% mark, whereas my other system's identical GPUs are between 80-90% and sometimes higher. Uninstalling and re-installing display drivers now.
Copied from the FoldingForum.org topic on the problem, in case anyone was wondering what solved the issue.
quick question I have a NVidia 770 would adding that in the same pc fold also or does mixing gpu's a no no ?
Note sure, as the architecture is different in this case (one being Kepler and the other Maxwell). One way to find out ... give it a go
Cheers Doc , it's the misses pc atm and I could use that for folding from time to time.Just don't want to add a card that may slow down this system ..Only just assembled it a few days ago and there is no overclock on it yet !
