If you have a 790i, you can use a PCI-E X-fi or an Asus Xonar in the uppermost PCI-E 1x slot, and yet have Tri-SLI.
Same as yours, evga gtx280hc.Quote:

three >> YOU
four >> ME
aparently ( not sure , just my guess) the GTX280 only work with TX750W using the pci-e adapters (both 6 pin and 8 pin ) , if you use the TX750W pci-e cables card wont work
you already test using both pci-e adapters bundled with the card ???
i will try tomorow too see if thats the problem !
but i think is too strange all this ppl with GTX280 problems are using TX750W ...........
best regards
...
I have an ultra x3 1000w in now. I wasn't using the tt750 when I installed the card.Quote:

your case seems different since your card did a long beep !
btw:
found another one >> http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/showth...t=tx750+GTX280

I believe the beep came from my motherboard meaning it could not initiate the graphics card.
Will the back plate from the waterblock interfere with the sound card in the black PCI-E slot?Quote:

Yea you really need a good single rail power supply. The quad rails are having alot of issues with the cards.
There are just a lot of DOA with the GTX280Quote:

Very annoying when i noticed one card was dead after 2 hours of trying to enable tri-sli :down:
RMA'd the card and everything works like a charm now :up:
Why not use the 6 and 8 pins cables that come with the PSU ?!Quote:

This makes me smile :)Quote:

So it is no problem to use the modulair cables that come with the PSU.
just what I've been thinking :)Quote:

Yep, and i have the older model (bought it almost 2 years ago) which doesn't have 8 pin. Well, i get the card shipped from Germany to Thailand - RMA would be a major PITA...Quote:

That's just unbelievable.
