2.1 MB - the driver must use the certificate ASUS, regardless of the actual manufacturer of the motherboard. This would include even on SLI motherboards manufacturers, who have no Х58 solutions.

Step 5. then install the modified driver, If everything went correctly, your system will immediately warn about the SLI support and the driver will activate the tab with the management of SLI. If due to some error the system will not boot, or is showing errors and blue screens at boot, press F8 and select "Load last known configuration".

To install the nv4_mini_rev2asus.rar unpack & move the file to were the 190.62 driver is unpacked. run or re-install the driver.

I tried that. Twice! The first try was done using both 16x PCIe Ports on my mainboard. Then I did a clean reinstall of Windows XP32bit with both graphic cards in PCIe-Slots that are connected to the same IOH-36D. Still no SLI available.

GPU-Z and nHancer recognize the system as "SLI availbable" but also say: "Disabled".
(See attached screenshot).

As suggested I tried to use the modified drivers without HAL-Mod: No SLI.
Then I installed the HAL-Mod for XP 32bit: No change, except that the Chipset has been recognized as X58.

Now I have to find someone with the Supermicro C7X58. No SLI for me. :-(

SLi allowed on FX Cards? perhaps thats the problem

HALMod for WinXP x32 it not modded so good as for Win7 x64. And for now latest version of HALMod for Win7 x64 is best solution. You tried in WinXP x32. You should try in Win7 x64.
Tell me your motherboard manufacturer. Send me screenshot of NVIDIA control panel.
Do you have 2 FX4800 cards? Try if you can another pair of cards

hhahaahyea · Sep 23, 2009, 04:52 AM

my cpu-z shows an x58 on my 790FX board, but it doesn't show me having any RAM haha. nothing shows up in any RAM slots. this happening to everyone else?

send screenshot. HALMod has nothing to do with it.

as for stability i don't know

So far the Sli works smoothly. The only thing i have seen so far is that water textures in COD5 are messed up, but it also may be some other problem. I'll look into it. Benchmarks are great, and stability also. Not a single shutdown so far or smtng that would suggest stability problem.

Yet another YeeHaaaaw & Aw000ooo000ooo!

Another 1st with your amazing SLI mod. Abit IP35ProXE!

Note I'm also running 192 + a 216 together in SLI.

I'll try to get in a few benches later on. Thank you again so much!

XP 32bit...

Help. I followed post #923 exactly and I cant get SLI to work. Here is my setup:

Asus P5E WS Pro X38
4GB RAM
Win 7 x64 Ultimate
2 x 9600GT

I appreciate any assistance. Thanks. I attached the files generated by iasg.

do this

anatolymik · Sep 23, 2009, 06:22 AM

I will - as soon as I find a suitable harddrive for testing...

Tell me your motherboard manufacturer.

It's still Supermicro. Model: X8DAH+. Dual Xeon

Of course I have two FX 4800 cards. I even bought a SLI-Bridge just to be sure that a missing bridge isn't the reason.
The attached screenshots are from Server 2008 R2. (compareable with Win7 x64) The NVidia Control Panel looks identical in WinXP 32bit... The second screenshot (systeminformation window) ist of course Server 2008 R2 specific. On XP I used your recommended desktop drivers. This screenshot shall only show that there are two cards installed in my system.

Maybe I should try the newest HAL-mod with server 2008 R2?

An early version of the HAL-Mod did not work and someone mentioned that Server 2003 (and 2008) would be unable to run SLI at all. Nevertheless some time later a HAL-mod has been released that should enable SLI on Server 2003 x64 - so maybe it is also possible with Server 2008 R2.

I already tried to contact someone with the Supermicro C7X58 (that is the SLI certified X58 mainboard from Supermicro) but did not receive an answer until now.

You should try in Win7 x64. Also you need latest HALMod and DSDT modded by SLI CERT. You may try the mod on 2008. Though, i think it would not work on windows server.
