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.

hi

after intensive investigations , i found already 4 guys with same PSU (TX750W) and GTX280 with the same problems (no boot) , im also using TX750W................

two >> http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=...65533;�

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 ...........

I have an ultra x3 1000w in now. I wasn't using the tt750 when I installed the card.

[dengyong]

Yes, were yours?

[mascaras]

Yes, were yours?

yep , and all the guys i found had same problem as me , green diagnostic LEDs but nothing displayed on the monitor !


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?

[Mango31]

Well, i guess i have a good chance with my ol' Galaxy and the 2x6 to 8 pin adapter ? Fingers crossed...

[Planet]

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 GTX280
One of my three cards was DOA, screen turns on, but stays black.
Very annoying when i noticed one card was dead after 2 hours of trying to enable tri-sli
RMA'd the card and everything works like a charm now

Why not use the 6 and 8 pins cables that come with the PSU ?!

[Planet]

Because the cards require alot of amperage and most of the time they put the 6 pin and 8 pin on the same rail and it cant deliver enough amperage.

This makes me smile
He was talking about the Enermax Galaxy, the same PSU I run my 3 GTX280's on.
So it is no problem to use the modulair cables that come with the PSU.

just what I've been thinking

[Anemone]

Corsair HX1000 is dual rail and it would run them fine too I think.

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...

[Mango31]

Card is here and DOA... I am pissed beyond believe. First boot - one long and three short beeps. I reseated and it booted without beep. LED shows green. Unfortunately the monitor doesn't get a signal...

That's just unbelievable.
