It wasn't that 8x wasn't enough it was the chipset Nf2000 not playing nice with XDMA
I'm jinxed at the moment though. All because i lied when i was seventeen. As long as its third time lucky, im golden. Day 6 without playing BF4 and im having serious withdraw symptoms.
Ddu time Greg
What's wrong with the board matt?
Have a PEBKAC moment?
No it literally just arrived an hour ago.
I've just been setting up and stress testing my 24/7 overclocks. Now i need to reinstall windows. Much prefer the Z77 chipset. Easier to clock the dram. I Never could get 1T stable with my 16gb of ram on P67 but this time it worked straight away with no tweaks. Got it spot on first time, chuffed with that. Now comes the crappy part...
Nice one on the ram, on that board is it the two blue slots for xfire/sli? Quite different looking from the rest of the p8 Z77 series, (including the v pro i had). Spacing in it was ok. But there looks to be enough room to park a bus between the gpu's in the ws.No it literally just arrived an hour ago.

Very nicely doneYeah the two blue slots are the pci-e. Indeed there is tons of space between the cards. Excuse my psu cables and the white paper blocking the vents at the bottom. Its a work in progress.![]()
Very nicely doneif you ever need better cooling on the cards I have mine top and bottom. Both cards keep same temps for me.
Looks like a very decent gap mate, and tbh the build looks pretty tidy so far. I get to a certain point then just go "ahh sod it, she'll do fine". The joy of no side window. Blue pcie cables would look much nicer though for your setup.![]()
My current M6F is a bit dire for spacing. Could have got better by going for the Z87 V Pro, (identical to the Z77 V Pro i had) but the colour scheme on the standard asus boards is vile.Slots 1 & 5, the spacing multi cards deserve, its always annoyed me that on the mid range boards Asus insist on slots 1 & 4.
