Setting up SLi

[CLAWS]

Just got a second identical graphics card to the one in my sig.

Will have the two running in Sli. Anything I should do or anything I should know before I do this?

Cheers

Before you put the 2nd card in remenber to flip the sli selector card, plug a molex into the ez-plug above the top gfx slot.

Insert card, connect sli bridge, boot up, enable sli, job done

the A8N-SLI doesnt come with a selector card

The standard one and the deluxe do, its the premium that dosent.

from the pic on ocuk the deluxe doesnt, and my SE version doesnt...

anyway, if there is a card there which looks like this :

flip it around so the side which says 'dual video cards' is in the slot.
think asus have resorted to using the bios to enable dual cards now anyway

Maybe they donthave them now then, but the one i sold a few months back deffo had one

Ive definitely seen that on the mobo somewhere, Im sure of it.

Just awaiting delivery of the card. Ill check for the flip switch in the meantime.

Cheers folks

To get sli working on my asus an8 sli deluxe I had to update the bios

Got the card, flipped the SLi switch, setup the bridge, connected the power molex, and then realised I had 15 minutes to get to work. So will try when I get back home

EDIT - Guys where is this EZ plug above the top GFX slot?

 

[sunlitsix]

molex plug above the top pci-e slot
dont think its needed if youve got both pci-e plugs in
