Whichever card was active with SLI not on should probably be RMAed

testing them individually now.
Just noticed something as well. one card was in the blue slot (main card)
2nd card was hooked to a white slot.
Does that matter?

Also only 1 SLI cord was hooked up. and it looked like there slots for 2.
do both need to be bridged?

I could be wrong but I think those additional ports are for TRI/Quad SLI.
I am not sure if both your slots are full x16 since I don't know your motherboard.

-------------------------Problem---------------------------
Problems
1st was pixals spamming in none SLI mode. Both cards in. 1 only should be on.
2nd In SLI mode games had glitches

At the momment have 1 card in only testing

When i checked 1 SLI bridge was connected (Looks like room for 2, does not know if both should be)
1 card was in 1st blue port, 2nd card was in a white port.

--------------------------Theory---------------------------
My theory (Which im software not hardware person)
1 graphix card is broken or bad mother board

(Cannot possibly overheat due to case, fans and liquid cooling)
Drivers are up to date and so are updates.

I don't know what to tell you. All you can really do is to test each card one at a time and see if one acts up.

Ok imma check something new bc i think the guys who built my PC are idiots.
i moved the graphix card into perfered location (As manual stated)
Turned on the mother board EPU and TPU
Installed Some mother board software that was in the box to monitor and control system
Reentered SLI mode
Used new SLI bridge connection


ok lets see what happends now
