Problems after fitting new GPU

[Jonnibravo]

Hi all,

I've excitedly fitted my new r9 290 card which is a beast I might add, but unfortunately I've had to remove my Asus Phoebus soundcard which because the GPU is so massive wont fit in the top slot as it rests on the backplate and will not move down enough to fita screw in and I cant even see the second slot as its completely covered by the GPU.

Ive looked at the z77 d3h motherboard and it does not appear to support higher bandwidth in the pcie4 slot so I guess I might be ****ed.


Is there a solution to this problem.

Also following installation catalyst installer stated there were warnings, but I cannot understand the text file, ive posted it below if anyone knows what the issue might be.

Thanks in advance

Erm, to be fair, i would sacrifice graphics over audio anyday... i had a similar problem with fitting my GPU... i got an aftermarket cooler and had to fit my soundcard in the PCI slot beneath the one I was using and I got all sorts of errors... I would download Driver Sweeper and uninstall all AMD, NVIDIA AND YOUR SOUND CARD DRIVERS... (remember to uninstall using driver sweeper while in SAFE MODE ONLY), restart your pc and download the latest drivers again and do a clean install of them..

by the sounds of the config file, yes everything has installed, but warning signs have appeared... usually happens when installing a new GPU as the cards drivers might be conflicting with the old card you had installed, even if you had another AMD card, never mind an Nvidia card..

**** happens... get driver sweeper, boot into safe mode, uninstall all gpu and audio drivers, reboot, download latest drivers and you should be ok

Sorry, what makes you unable to put Phoebus to PCIe x16 second slot (named as "PCIEx4"; manual says: The PCIEX4 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX1_2/3 slots. The PCIEX1_2/3 slots will become unavailable when a PCIex4 expansion card is installed.) ?
Alternatively, you can buy PCIe riser and mount card somewhere inside the case (looks not nice, but works at least).
