Hi, I'm running a gigabyte z97x gaming 5 with a i7 4770k and 2x GeForce 980s in sli. My motherboard supports 1 x 16 pcie lanes, 2 x 8 lanes or 1 x 8 and 2 x 4 lanes. If I put another old card into the third pci slot for physics would that speed up gaming or slow it down because the second sli...

Hi, I have a gigabyte z97x gaming 5 mobo which advertises a whole bunch of sound hardware like special capacitors, Realtek acl1150 codec, amp up audio technology, etc. Does all my systems audio go through these perky features or is it only if I'm using the back panel jacks? Do I need to use...

Although it seems really unlikely that SLI would suddenly stop working at the exact time of an upgrade because of hardware, it seems that in my instances one of my SLI bridges was not working properly. While running Valley I removed 1 SLI bridge, than the 2nd bridge, then put one bridge only on...

Hi Community, I am having a problem with my display flickering when running full-screen applications. It also freezes eventually and needs to be hard-reset, because the keyboard becomes completely unresponsive. PC: Gigabyte Z97x-gaming 5 Intel i7440 at 4.2Ghz 16gb ram at 1600mhz 2 x gtx...

Hi, System: Cooler Master silent pro hybrid 1300MW PSU MSI gaming 5 mobo Intel I7-4770k Samsung 28" 4k Monitor I had a live to earth short on my monitor power cable which blew both old monitors and 1 of my 2 Zotac Geforce 760 AMP! graphics cards that were in SLI. I replaced the graphics...

Can I please bump this thread. I am having the same problem. I have added speedfan via startup program group, registery, and task scheduler and it still doesn't load on startup.

My new UPS is not powerful enough for my PSU, which was not able to provide enough current to my graphics cards, thus the beeping.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my Zotac 760 AMPs with which I'd really appreciate some help. I'm running: Gigabyte Gaming 5 motherboard Coolmaster SilentPro 1300W PSU Intel i7-4770k at ~4.1GHz 16GB DDR 3 1600MHz Ram 2 x Zotac 760 AMP editions in SLI - I've not really overclocked the cards and...

Hi 17seconds, Thanks for your assistance! Really appreciate it. The reason I added the second SLI bridge was that it is recommended in the SLI / Crossfire FAQ sticky in this forum (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/245454-33-crossfire-faqs) "A very important note about bridges." I think...

I have installed a second SLI bridge and I have also noted that my PSU is 1300W, not 1050W. I reset the settings in Nvidia control panel to default. It indicates SLI is enabled. I ran Unigine Heaven 4.0 to get the results. The score on ultra quality, extreme tessellation full screen...
