Quad SLI Dilemna
 

I have my tri sli 285s hooked up with my 285 classy on my 4 way board but keep getting no screen and error 3E. I'm thinking with the new bios a59 this should work???

The quad sli bridge has a "top" and "bottom" position, but which effin way is "top"?? I've tried both positions with no change.

Any ideas?

Note: 3E is a test 8259-1 Mask, of course, that verifies 8259 Channel 1 masked interrupts by alternately turning off and on the interrupt lines.

Did that clarify it for anyone :D

I thought shammy showed a pic of extra traces on the Classy cards to allow quad??? Lemme find that pic.

tried 1x285 classy + gtx285 ? just two video cards...

If you have the GTX285 classys and the updated x58 bios, move the bios jumper on the cards to the normal GTX285 rom not the GTX295 rom.

yeah, I have the one classy on the 285 rom, but the other three are HC, not classies. Was hoping with the classy running on 285 mode now it would let me quad sli my 3 HCs with the classy

I put the classy card in the 4th position??

Ok , this is weird.

Just tried it again and got to code 00 = setup. No pic on the screen though ? :ohcrap:

Maybe I just need to jiggle things around a little :D

Here's the answer to your question. Bottom center of first pic...

Thanks Cuch, I'll look as soon as I post this.

Got the system up and running, after a damn restore that put ATI drivers back into the system :arg: Problem is, the system is recognizing two 285s, one is one of the HC, the other is the Classy (I can tell by the default clock speeds) :ohcrap:

Hopefully your link will provide the answer - thanks bro :)

nah, can't see anything there that will help, but appreciate it bro ;)

Dude I hate to tell you, but I think the answer is that it ain't gonna work. :( You need all Classified cards for 4-way cause they have extra traces in the PCB to make it work.
