Xfire Not Detected

Still the same with 14.9 WHQL, one thing I did notice is though that when you uninstall the AMD drivers and reboot it automatically installs VGA controllers from windows and one fails.

Not sure if thats normal.
 
Does this mean anything?

I have a new Crossfire bridge in now and still the same problem (The miss's treated me).
 
I have some interesting news, the option to enable crossfire in CCC appears if I use 13.9 WHQL driver.

**I noticed the second GPU fan was not spinning so I selected Disable crossfire and my screen went black with a static noise from the speakers. Once i restarted the second GPU is now spinning and seems to have crossfire enabled.

switch the power cables from the working card to the none working card might be a faulty cable?
maybe use afterburner and disable ULPS.

I used Sapphire Trixx to disable ULPS (because the second card was running at 99% constantly, now solved).

In GPU-Z the second card is only running x1 1.1?

I don't know if this has anything to do with the 13.9 WHQL

Known Issues of The AMD Catalyst 13.8 Beta2 Driver for Windows:
•CrossFire configurations (when used in combination with Overdrive) can result in the secondary GPU usage running at 99%
•Enabling CrossFire can result in the PCI-e bus speed for the secondary GPU being reported as x1

*might be worth to note I did drop the Voltage from 1250 to 1200, so I have put it back to default just in case.
