Topic: Running 4 290 on one PSU 1250 Watt (Read 2871 times)
Dude, I seriously recommend that you stop doing that right now and wait till you get another PSU.
I had stock 290s pulling 260-270 watts on 95-99% load.
Seasonic 1250 can go hold at least 1500 watts.
Adding a secondary PSU wouldnt hurt to spread out one of the cards, no additional motherboard and cpu draw if using a dummY plug for the 24pin atx.

I am running over at around 1300 but i read overclock forum that it wont kill PSU. PSU can handle it
just wait and watch, when it kill the psu.Then you will regret.

hook a kilowatt up to the wall. i bet you are running near max if not over
Hmm Ok will think about adding one more card and another PSU... dont want to melt anything..though it seems to be stable for couple of days now
So,
I am running 4 XFX 290 with a single PSU 1250 Watt Seasonic GOLD
I am running all 4 at 20 Intensity 24Hrs a Day. All cards at 75C
Card 1 -- 890 Avg
Rest of tha cards 877 Avg
IS there any danger of Melting the RIG
and I guess I am under powered as well using just 1 1250Watt PSU
No undervolting 3 cards locked didnt check the card 1 yet

I ran 4 7970's off a Corsair 1250W PSU for 6 months. Got around 730k per card. I think the new R290's do pull more power, so I would have to agree you will need another smaller PSU.
I have a 5x 290 rig, and that pulls ~1750W at the wall with 2 80Plus GOLD PSUs. Your 1250 is not cutting it. You need to buy a small secondary PSU, and move at least one of them off to it.
And no, last I checked VBE7, doesn't work on 290 cards. It only works on the 280x, and any Tahiti cards. The 290 and 290x are Hawaii chips.

I wonder if VBE7 would work on your cards for undervolting
