ok... since no one is being helpfull today im tackling it myself.

maybe someone can tell me how the hell to OC and fix the fan on 3 cards now?

3 gpu CFX is enabled. there is the option for 2 and 3 gpu in CCC but no overdrive at all.

any suggestions? AGCT?

At this point in the day the forums seem a little stagnant. It's better to ask earlier because the people in europe will be awake :)

What are all the lanes running at? x8x4x4? You may actually get a better score removing the 4850. Either way, cool stuff man!:toast:

Does 06 just lockup or does it give you an error?

I think you'd be better off with the 4870s in lane 1 and 2
and forgetting about the 4850 ( at least on this board)
