SLI folding

Post by InspectahACE »

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..

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 :)
