BlackOps: 4870 and 4870x2 POST problems

[saaya]

Hi Guys,

First of all make sure you use BIOS G30 or newer, there was a vga BIOS incompatibility problem with those cards on a couple of boards, ours included, and G30 and newer fix that problem
It seems that using only 2 6pin vga power plugs can cause the cards to not boot reliably or run unstable, at least in the first pciE slot on the blackops.
Apparently it might work fine if you use only one card, but as soon as you use a second or third card you need to use an 8 pin and 6 pin power plug and not just 2 6 pin power plugs.

So remember to plug em good and give em all the juice they need if you want them to run xfire and clock high
