I just popped the second card in, after abotu 4 BSOD's trying to get into windows, most with the IRQ_less than or equal to error, I also got a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

Finally got in, enabled SLI, started 3D 06, 2 secs, then BSOD Nv disp, error.

GOnna stop at Radio Shack and pick up a properly rated PSU power cord, then test this whole theory again.

Meanwhile the PSU cord that runs to the wall (the one in question) was very warm to the touch, pretty sure the PSU was not able to get the power it needs, which could cause the GPU to be underpowered when I try and OC the CPU/RAM, causing a loss in performance, and with 2 cards in and NO CPU/RAM OC, while it would barely start, (hence leading me back to my power issue) when it did start it would barely run.

Will report back shortly.

lemme know marc... i imagine you know the number to reach tech support

In all my wonderous wisdom and expertise that I lack which make me a Noob4Life, I would have to say that Corsair HX1000 should get a round of applause for not straight kicking the bucket while trying to operate without a proper umbilical cord and nutrients.

Haha, yep after a trip to the local Tigerdirect I got the proper power cable after a hook up from my new tech buddy Carl! Once I get home and plug her in I will post back, hopefully from Krypto after a little 3d mark run!!

Ps for tech support call 1-800-411-punx :-)

EPIC FAIL!

SO I realized that I cannot utilize the bottom PCI-E slot with my case. The third slot on the x58 LE is x4

Plugged in the new power cord and everything seemed to be running great except my FPS were low, being the slots were reverting to x4

So I shut down, unplugged, moved the cards (now in the #1 & #2 slots)

Restarted, expected the drivers to pick them up, only one was moved, but NO!

Instead I get VGA mode, excessive lagging, turtle like movement in safe mode, and now that I think everything is back up the way it should be, everything shows up good in gpu-z, device manager, etc... no CPU/Ram OC. I start 3d 06 and get flashing pink colors, and extremely sub par performance.

How does all that happen when only switching slots on the GPU??

Are there jumpers on this board I am missing??

This is why I run ATI lol. (Not to sound like a fanboy or something, but this is exactly the kind of trouble I had running single cards with 8800 series).

Everyone loves nVidia driver's I had nothing but nightmares when I picked up a few 8800 cards a while back.

Run driver cleaner (sweeper on Vista or 7) and reinstall drivers.
