The new BTX standard PSU has 24 pins. I beleive it's also the old server PSU standard pin out also. It's just the 20pin socket with 4 extra pins on one side.

There's a cap and other elements right where the rest of the card's PCI-E would be. It would work if there was empty space there.

yea thats sad, i bet a lot of people would be taking a razor to that if they weren't there, it would be 120$ SLI board. not a bad deal at all.

somebody should try this and see if it works and runs SLI.

took a look at the pic...somethings are in the way, but...if your good with sodering couldn't you move those the things onto the back of the board, wouldn't be case friendly, but...

yea i noticed they are in the way, and i guess they are to tall and the card wouldn't go over them. and i wouldn't know what to do to move them. maybe somebody would know and could test it out.

the gigabyte board also has those same things in the way.

Guys at this point the board plain sucks, don't even bother with trying fake sli. caps are in the way and cutting pci-e makes no sense because the board clocks like crap on the current bios. I think neo4 is best option for fake sli since OPB has done it successfully. But If you want to take your chances soldering caps behind the pcb, be my guest.

No it's not worth it. I bet a new bios will fix the situation :D

There is a new BETA BIOS out today from Chaintech for the VNF4 that may fix your issues. It can be downloaded from their site at (http://www.chaintechusa.com/download/k8/VN210117.exe ), and the original BIOS that shipped with the board can also be downloaded from the site at (http://www.chaintechusa.com/download/k8/VN210C29.exe ). I have not had a chance to try the new BIOS yet, but hopefully I can later tonight. I am hoping it will solve a couple of problems that I have with it currently (I cannot overclock the board past 240HTT without it going to "safe mode", and I cannot take my RAM out of a 2T Command rate because I am running 4 sticks of 512MB in dual channel). The description on the site says that the BIOS deals with both issues, but I will have to see for myself later.
