I checked and the indicator LEDs in the tesla card are on. After a couple of minues I turn the system off and I could feel that the tesla card was a bit more than warm so I think that the power supply is doing his job. Any one have some experience with this card?

Kind regards

No, I never persued the matter any more. When I looked at the performance of the K80 for its power consumption, I concluded it was not really worth using. There are a lot of consumer cards that use less power, but have much better double-precision floating point performance. I think I will end up putting my card on eBay.

I guess it would be reasonable for trial factoring, but I'm not sure if its really worth it for anything else.
