So all worked fine. Bt I have to use "F8" always to disable driver signature checking. Otherwise the modded driver is not working. So far i tried to do a certificate by myself but thats not working. Any small howto avaiable or perhaps u have a updated version of the x64 vista/7 driver?

@€dit: here my setup:

status: running with 2x7900GS on on CTHIM P45 Mainboard

just the F8 isssue and i am happy. second 260GTX coming soon. When my Mosfet Blaock for the 790FX-GD70 gets back I will also try to set it up on the AM3 platform

@€dit2: Problem solved ;)

Same question as Darkgnome. I have used the HAL method after replacing the DSDT file. My board now shows up as x58..lol.....Will the SLI option show up in the driver without a second card?

You are saying that I need another gtx 260 or 8800gt before I'd see the SLI option, correct?

singel 260GTX ->only physx
single 7900GS ->nothing

I got Quad SLI with 2xGTX295 working on my Asus Maximus II Formula (Win7 64b booting with F8), but I'm getting better results in 3DMark06 with SLI disabled. I don't have a SLI Bridge that fits, could that be the cause, or am I limited by PCIe lanes on this board? Anyway, I can now run 4 instances of F@H without using dummy adapters, so I'm happy. Thanks! :)

Hitting F8 disables driver checking, are you hitting F8 only when installing the modded driver or every time you boot into win 7?

I don't know, but compared to this the certificate should be on a single line (wordwrap?). I'm also seeing a couple of "}}" instead of "})". I don't know what is correct, I just copied and pasted from here :)

This looks so sweet. I'll have a second videocard for testing later this fall. Cant do it before i remove the scsi controller from second pci-e 16x slot.

Kudos to u

Unless things decide to go bumpy again for me, I'd say in 3 days or so ( need a friend's CPU :p: )

hmm tried to set up die MSI 790FX-GD70 but got the same error discribed earlier in this thread by another user:

Quote:

3866: If (ECEN)
^***
sli.dsl(3866): error: unexpected ASL term type

tried also the latest ASL-version, but still the same error. could it be an issue of the AM3-mainboard or the mainboard vendor? The "If" looks normal to me :shrug:

the SLIC starts at line 11xxx, so it must be another problem.

The ones with issues should host their original DSDT dumps ( the initial .dsl file ) on RapidShare and provide a link here if you want to get any decent help :)

Yay! This actually came through, and it seems that Nvidia doesn't mind this time. Time to pick up another GTX275 :D
