Or whether all these MoBos coming my way are having damaged PCI-E 16X slots?? Anyway I am going to RMA this sucker one last time....and if that also don't work then call it quits!

Yeah very strange indeed. I have been googling all this time if something like the PCI-E lanes or PCI-E controller of a Core i5 processor can go bad even if it is physically undamaged and there are no bent pins in the socket. And whether the fact that the in-build Intel HD 2000 graphics works...

Not yet. The graphics card has DVI, HDMI and Display ports. Monitor has DVI and VGA. I will try using a DVI to VGA adapter and HDMI to DVI adapter to check if anything works. I hope something works :( But logically speaking the chance of anything being wrong with the DVI port on GTX 670, the DVI...

No, disabling fast boot and secure mode in BIOS did not help. I am at a loss what my next step should be. Help needed desperately!

Ok, in my frantic search on inter webs I landed in the below link and thought it could be an issue with UEFI BIOS. May this applies only to computers installed with Win 8...

Does the Windows 8 ready UEFI BIOS on the motherboard cause any issues, I mean can Fast boot, Secure mode etc. can interfere in detecting the graphics card? Do I have to disable those? The Gigabyte Windforce GTX 670 is updated to latest VBIOS which is supposed to be UEFI.

I already updated the BIOS on each motherboard to latest, no go! I may have to try another graphics card but don't have a spare. But keep in mind I could already confirm the GTX 670 is in perfect working condition (on AMD build). What are the odds that GTX 670 is not compatible with sandy bridge...

I am talking about power %, not GPU usage. Wish I could post AB screen here...here are the values after running the benchmark Max Power % - 72 Max GPU Temp - 65 Max GPU usage % - 99 Max fan speed % - 44 Max core clock - 1163 Max mem clock - 3005 I have noticed the reply about changing power...

ok you thinking the power usage is stuck at 70% or below coz the PSU is not providing enough wattage? I have started using this setup in 2008 with a 8800GT and all the other cards i mentioned in the OP and never had issues even OCing them. Just wanted to understand the concept behind what...
