So I am very confused. I confirmed what was the only logical explanation I could come up with, a PSU. I RMA'd the 850w corsair and received a brand new one today. the EXACT same issues are coming up. The 2nd card is not being detected at all, ive got nothing. Maybe the card has something bad...

well i confirmed that its a bad psu. went to BB bought a corsair gs700, plugged everything in. booted right up, sli was working as it should and there was no problems. I'm gonna call newegg tomorrow and figure it out.

ive checked every bios setting along with my buddy. nothing wrong there. this install of windows is about 6 days old. its psu issues, thats what ive got it boiled down to.

yeah budget ran short, got the 2nd 9800 for free so i said why not with the intention of getting a better single card in a couple months. Ive ran both with and without the bridge and it made no difference. also made no difference running 3dmark06, i wanna say there was less then 100 pts different

I have a i5 760 with a p55-gd65 mobo, 16ram with a brand new tx850m psu and supposed to be dual 9800gt's in sli. I noticed right after I installed the new psu that sli was working, then relaized my 2nd card is not detected. I tried a few configurations to see if the card was bad, thats what i...

I think i got it down to psu related. You name it i tired every power configuration possible on the board. with no change. I hooked my old ocz520w modstream i replaced just because its pushing 8 years old, and with the OCZ hooked up everything worked perfect, sli worked just fine with no...

Well when i tested each card individually, i used the same pci-e socket with the same power connector. All the Ram is the same timing. i got 2 of the same 2x4gb sets. Ill play more with it. I know the card is not bad. It worked perfect in a different board, i just hooked it back up and bench...

the card works and boots up fine on a different system. is there a setting i am missing somewhere?

I have a i5 760 @2.93 with an MSI P55-GD65 mobo running 2 9800gt's in sli, or so it was. Everything worked perfectly until last night when I added some new parts. I just put in a TX850 psu(leaves lots of head room to upgrade), 16gb of ram and a new storage hdd. Ive got one card that works just...

yeah i was starting to get to its limits i would think.

well i said screw it and i just ordered a tx850, that should be good for a long time to come, i dont even plan on running any of those power hog cards as im not a big gamer. only reason im running SLI now is because i got the card for free.

lol its not that it would be too difficuilt its more of i really dont care enough to put the time in to try and get the data off, i already sent the drive out for the RMA.

maybe i should just stick with this system for now and do a full upgrade when i graduate in may. I had to get a new storage drive. Ive got my older seagate 320's in raid 0 for now.

About a year ago i upgraded from a amd 4400+, 7800gtx, 2gb ram, and a dfi ultra-d. I upgraded to an older generation core 2 duo and a 9800gt, i think. got the whole setup for basically free after i sold off my old parts. I just recently upgraded to an MSI P55-GD65, i5-760 currently at stock...

yeah ive heard about the adapter and linux fix but thats way to much work for something not very important. The just a bad drive is a very interesting comment and actually makes alot of sense.

So ive been having problems with my drive for a while knowing its inherently a bad drive. It finally bit the dust, says its corrupted all that jazz. I got an RMA # and i will be sending it in today. Anyone have any last minute ideas to get my data off of it? Its not critical data, just all my...

I have to wait for my internship to start so i could bump it up in a month or so.

Thanks for the reply. Im currently in socal, ill be buying online or maybe at frys if they have a good deal that pops up. Yea i might be overclocking, if i do it wont be much i like a stable. very quiet system. My current setup his a si-120 with a yateloons running at 7v all around, zalman...

Last time i was around looking to build a system was when AMD 64's and nvidia 6800gt was a beast, needless to say my system is old. I really dont know where to start I want to stay in the 5-600 range for mobo/cpu/ram/gfx. im going to keep my existing p180, hdds dvd drive etc. Im running a OCZ...

got it shared over the network and working great....66gb worth of video files. now i can clean up the mac and set up boot camp. thanks for the help.

sharing them would be ideal in my situation only problem is i dont know how to set them up to share from each other. any tutorials on how to do that?

Im trying to free up space of my macbook and i have my cousins wedding and did the video for. I have 3 20gb raw data files and a 15gb final movie that i need to transfer. i have a external usb drive but fat32 cant handle the large files and ntfs is usable on the mac..... is there any way to...

forgot that one, firewire external hdd

at least 6 rear usb, raid, OCing, more then 4 sata. thats why i liked that board. lots of usb, and good raid.

My buddy picked it out for me.

$500 max. forgot about that. less is better

i dont really have the money for a new grfx atm i just bought that card for 70 a couple of months ago uping from a 6800gt. I may jump on the quad just to get ahead and not have to get one later on, im not sure yet. Is there really a use for 4gb. i have 2 right now and i never use it all. Also...

So last night i was working on a project for school in SolidWorks and i dont think ive ever seen my rig so bogged down before. I, needless to say, was a little upset. So now i actually have a good reason to upgrade my for once other then just gaming. So, here my thinking, just upgrade my...

Does anyone know if its possible to put the HS from a 7800gtx on a 6800gt. I just got a killer deal on the 7800gtx. I have a vf900 that im gonna put on it. I destroyed the origonal hs for the 6800gt a long time ago for some odd reason. im pretty sure they use the same mounting holes on the...

exactly. i also sealed off the top fairly well with a piece of Aluminum.

Well, I'm going off the college and I'm taking my desktop, for many reasons so please don't tell me i need a laptop. But I am considering upgrading the core of my rig. Anyway, i would be upgrading for increases processing power. My current rig is in my sig, and heres what I'm thinking about...

Before after

anytime. That sheet of AL and the duct tape lowered hdd temps by almost 10*C. Concentrated all the airflow to the psu to come from the front of the case.

i used a dremel and a hack-saw to get a rough cut. then i have a bench grinder that i used to make the edges more smooth. then good old fashion sand paper to finish i up and give it a brushed look.

No not really. It was easy make sure u have ear plugs and eye protection thought. it was really f*cking loud. just take you time it was easy.

Which one?
