Nice 24! I think we need to sign you up for on-line shoppers anonymous :)

Re the pump sleeving ... can you provide a quick update on how you did it? I want to do mine, but not sure which way to attack it.

Do you know what brand back plate left the sticky stuff you cleaned? Kinda curious.
Those components can be crushed as well as shorted. I remember having to cut a couple of clearance holes in a Zalman 9700 backplate I initially used. 9700 users were having to do that or rma the board all over the evga forum, untill evga revised behind the socket.

I thought the sticky stuff was from the earlier back plate and he's using another from his Tuniq now.

You are right m8! The friend who sold me the board had that back-plate customized to fit behind the mobo. No clue which one it is but i know he modded it.

Yeah, that 24" kicks some major @sses! :yepp: It looks small on the pic but if you look at it and compare it to my U2-UFO on the pic, knowing that the U20UFO is 18.5" per 18.5" per 18.5", you know that it's huge! lol

I am going to update the third post again since i just finished cleaning my room and also finished mounting everything on the bench table :D Check this out!

Now, my only concern is that i am FREAKING SCARED AND NERVOUS about pressing the power button for that beast lol

Big problem guys...

Yesterday night and this morning, i have been trying to figure out a problem. I have posted my problem on EVGA forums. Let's see what gives but i am like 90% sure that one of the PCI-Express slot on my mobo is dead.

Of course i did. But thats not the point. I can't even boot with a single 8800GTX in the top slot now. I get a long beep followed by 2 short beeps... :(

hmmmmm...

What error code are you getting on post?If it say's ff should be working if not then i don't what's the go...

I would rma the board if i were you...

ouch. more delays...

did you like forget one power connection to the mobo or something? best to be sure, i myself forgot this one time...
10-06-2007, 09:31 PM
Patriote

All is connected. Even the 4-pin molex connector for SLI. Not that i am thinking of this, maybe i shouldn't plug it? More testing is definitely required.

I'll work on it tonight and tomorrow. If i can't get anything, i'll RMA the board and will buy a new one right tomorrow. When the RMAed one gets back, it'll be for sale. NO MORE TIME TO WASTE!

That sucks man... I forgot to plug in the 4/8pin power to the mobo one time and it wouldn't boot... you sure that's plugged in?
10-06-2007, 10:05 PM
Patriote

Im sure it is ;) Anyway, i am able to boot. Hell, i am typing to you on that comp. But it just seems that the UPPER PCI-Express slot is dead. Which refrain me from doing SLI. I didn't bought 2 G80s to end up using only 1!

Yep, sounds like a dead PCI slot.

Going out today to get a new mobo. If i can't find the EVGA 680I A1, do you guys think the P5N32-SLI Deluxe would cut it?
