Well, it seems like it's working. The only thing that's a little strange is when I'm in CCC under the crossfire menu, there is a button (i forgot what exactly it says, detect GPU or something) that says it will show the status of my cards. When I click it a huge "1" shows up in the middle of the...

Ok, nevermind about the cable length. I'm a moron. I found longer ones packaged with my extra motherboard wires. Ok, I guess my only other question is do I need to change any BIOS settings?

The kind that I have is flexible (it's a ribbon cable). Is there another kind? And if so, where can I get one. I've checked on several sites and can only find the same kind I have: A ribbon cable that is about 3 inches long. I need more like 5 inches to span the gap between the cards.

Ok, I'm totally new to crossfiring and as such don't really know what I'm doing. It would be helpful if I could find some sort of tutorial on this, but I can't find a decent one. Here's my situation: I've got two Sapphire HD4850 1GB ram cards. I've got them plugged into my motherboard (ASUS...

Hi, I've been having trouble with some sort of glitch with the Catalyst Control Center/Drivers for my Sapphire 4850 1gb RAM video card. I finally got to the 9.4 CCC and driver to work properly, it seems, and now I decided to upgrade by adding another 4850 crossfired. Do I need to uninstall and...

I just built a computer and have been having problems with it when I do a windows restart. The system shuts down fine (the fans keep whirring and the PSU stays on) but it won't POST. Occasionally, it won't boot up on a cold boot. But the 2nd time I try it it always works. Actually, unlike any...

I'm pretty sure if the PSU sends a surge through my motherboard, the popcorn will be the least of my worries.

They are solid caps... I guess I'll plan on doing it. It does look really cool when finished. I probably went a little overboard on my last motherboard though. I also taped off all heatsinks and capacitors and spray painted it with clear UV reactive paint. It looked alright, but probably took a...

I have a UV light inside my case. This looks cool enough with my UV sleeved cables but I took the case mod a step further. I bought some neon stickers from the stationary department and walmart, used a hole punch to punch out little circular neon stickers, and I put the circle neon stickers on...

Hi, Last week I bought some components for my new computer. I was planning on using my 2 year old PSU with this build but now I am wary of even plugging it in. My old PSU is a Antec Neopower 480W PSU. I eventually (like in 2 or 3 months want to upgrade my PSU to a 750W since eventually I'd like...
