    HyperSLI (Enabling SLI on non-sli motherboards)

    Thank you for the reply. I have a Gigabyte 890fx 4 way crossfire board. i attempted to use it a while back before hyper SLI with 3 way 470gtx. it did not work, however with hyper SLI if it does work with 4 way, i may even use it on my 3 way p67 FTW mobo. It has 4 slots and i can use a...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    Sorry i did not break it down more for you. He explained it better so no need to repeat. I want to add my personal experience here. I am not trying to say anyone is wrong about this physx card comments, but my own testing proved other wise(at least with the 400 series). On my x58...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    Yes I am sure you can. I can verify I was able to run 2x470gtx SLI and use 3rd 470gtx as a physx card On an AMD platform. I see no reason you cannot do it as long as you get a supported physx capable video card.

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    Hello, i'm back again. I gave up on fighting with my AMD board and getting 3 way SLI to work with my 470's. However now i am at a new point can i get 3 way SLI to work on a p8p67 pro mobo? I am going to try it out but was wondering if 3 way support is still elusive on this patch. Thanks!

    Project GPUBox: External GPU case.

    I had a different experience with my PCIE gen 1 extenders. When plugged into a 2.0 slot with an ATI card i got a blue screen when windows initialized the card. Also both my 2.0 gen an 1.0 gen extenders have a very annoying side effect....They jam my Wireless N/G router and disconnect all my...

    Project GPUBox: External GPU case.

    Well we might be in the same boat in a sense...(stock cooling vs aftermarket cooling) The more i think about these extenders the more i am inclined to get them. Reason: I'm looking at a variety of mainboards all of which support 3 way SLI or even 4 way. They all have the same damned...

    Project GPUBox: External GPU case.

    Are you planning on watercooling them? If so I would imagine your problem with SLI connectors are non existent. I am not so lucky yet I am aftermarket air cooled....

    Project GPUBox: External GPU case.

    Can you explain or show how your using the SLI connectors in your build? This is severely limiting me on what i would like to do...

    Project GPUBox: External GPU case.

    Well i got a reply back www.adexelec.com is who i emailed. Looks like the price is around what you paid. I'm going to think about it. My idea is if i build this CPU box, i can set it up for any GPUs and even watercool or not. Then if i have a leak or something it could be confined to...

    Project GPUBox: External GPU case.

    I totally understand, i myself have been having issues of life interfering with my hobby :) My project has been very close to yours, except i have not made a separate box for VGA cards as of yet. I currently emailed a supplier for pricing of the cables. The biggest hurdle right now though...

    Project GPUBox: External GPU case.

    Wow, i have been racking my brain on a project im working on. My current dilemma is trying to get decent 3 slot air coolers on my 470gtx's and im out of space on mobo and case. I am working on a custom mod to accommodate but i ran into a big hitch. SLI bridges, apparently longest one i...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    From testing it seems that way, but barely, considering i am only getting dx9 to work in 3 way sli under test7 and latest drivers. This is really strange to me I thought after a while it was something i was doing but, without changing anything except driver i have this failure for 3 way. I...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    3 way sli works with new 1.0 patch (SLItest7) i got from PM 260.99 drivers seems anything after 260.99 and i lose 3 way support except in dx9. i can still run 2 way SLI all day long with any driver and and sli patch.... I am almost done fooling with it and will jump back to my x58 platform...
