SLI folding

Well after most of last night and a few minutes ago, I think I finally got both my 285s to fold..took alot of reading from here and other sites. but looks like both gpu's are folding. gotta be since before realizing I could check both boxes on using multiple screens, gpu-z only showed one gpu being used. I'm only using one monitor with an hdmi hooked up on the top card and vga on the bottom card. that and I kept gettin an error sayin my driver didn't support it while it was folding on the other gpu..now I don't get any errors

..what I find cool is, I didn't figure it out until reading past threads here so that makes me happy I found my answer here and not some other forum

(guess I'm a fanboy)..almost makes me ambitious enough to mod my case to fit another 285..

if you'd be up on working on an article on how to do that for the main site let me know.

Yea I can write one up if you want. I know skierkid and IceMan linked an article once or twice(most recently in the gpu2 installation thread) and I did look at it alot while configuring everything, but if you want a sticky on the forums on how to do it, I'll be happy to write up on how I got it going.

LOL ...well if it's any consolation, I don't have it running right now. Besides typin up what I did, it does put out alot of heat right now lol. even with another fan in my room it's still warm..it's around 83 outside and my room is probably around 78-80 from it so it doesn't help lol..Tryin not to put the a/c on just yet but I have a feeling within a week or two that will change. Plus I only had it folding for 2 hours when I did have it going. so fold on for today

I'm leavin it on tonite and part of tomorrow to see how hot it gets. Then I'm takin it all down to install the new psu and cpu cooler. SO Fold on

I'd say I got it working. I'm already up to 7,000 points today..So uh, not to rub it in Geo, but you have a bit more than 6 hours to catch me

I hate you. You got 7000 points today, I got 768. All my folders are off cus we have a day off from school. I'll never catch up now lol. Even if I do manage to pass you, you'll probably pass me again in a day or two...
