Intel S5520SC and Sli

[coolmiester]

I know its a rather long shot but if anyone has had any luck with the S5520SC Shady Cove and Sli i would love to hear.

I managed Sli on many very similar Supermicro boards using a Sli hack but just can't seem to manage with this board

As soon as i add a second card the system won't even boot...........and yeah, yeah why don't i just go Crossfire 5970's - well its not about that, i really want to get Sli working on this board.

What speeds do the slots run at when multiple videocards are used?

First things first, have you tried both cards separately?

Both card run perfectly in Sli on both the Supermicro X8DAi and X8DAH+-F boards............its certainly not the cards here.

I'm pretty sure its a board BIOS issue but have tried everything available from Intel so i think its down to an "aftermarket" BIOS to get Sli running
