Cant wait to see them TurboDuck

ok here we go... first one is of my 10,000 RPM WD Raptor. Second is my OCZ Vertex 30gigs in raid 0

 

[BubbySoup]

Very nice results

How have you got them partitioned and did you just install and go or did you follow any of the OCZ setup threads over on their forums?

I followed all the guide over at the OCZ forums... and have it partitioned as 1 drive of 60gb for my OS and most used apps

Im now having issues enabling TRI SLI though... all graphics cards are installed with the latest drivers and are there in device manager but... GPU-Z show this...

Looks like its only running 2 GPU's...

Any ideas ?

i would be if i could get the 3rd card to run lol its driving me mad i had it in TRI SLI like yesterday but since the format and install of new HDD's it only wants to run normal SLI eventhough there are quite clearly 3 cards installed.

If you cant get it to run, ill be happy to take it off ya hands for a small fee ofc

I'll take it off your hands for FREE.

Yep, that's me, a reasonable guy.

 

[turboduck]

haha thanks guys, although some advice may be just as good Im going to try uninstalling the drivers and re installing them again i suppose, cant think what else it could be

 

[turboduck]

ok that didnt work either... this is getting ridiculous, i think i might just send the 285's back and get 2x 295's

awesome thread, loving the build.

i just keep looking at the size of the MBoard which is huge and then in comparison to that Lian Li case, it wouldnt even fit on my desk!

can i ask you, if you was to do this build again what would you do differently and do you have any regrets in your choice of components?

 

[original.wood]

would doing that be a saving or expense of money? either way its your choice, and you probably would be able to run both in SLI and have no troubles with 3 monitors

 

[N00bie]

u have used the TRI SLI Bridge right :O

thanks mate, if i was to do it again, all i can say is do not go near the crucial SSD's and make sure you get a big enough case lol, i wouldn't change from the 285s as TRI SLI currently out performs Quad SLI (2 x 295's) in most benchmarks, however i would probably of got watercooling although i can still do that even now, will be hard to squeeze watercooling in for all 3 GPU's though

yeah lol i think its just the drivers, trying another version now...

 

[matthewhotdude]

Ouch sending one back after all the trouble with the case

 

[N00bie]

Ahhh good cos if u hadnt id be recommending swapping name. And you being called N00bie

 

[turboduck]

Ouch sending one back after all the trouble with the case

exactly, i have sent back/changed enough crap already lol, its really weird though as i had it running all 3 cards in TRI SLI yesterday, all i have done since then is install the new OCZ SSD's and install vista 64 bit

 

[N00bie]

Nothings come out of place or that?
