Hi,
I have just purchased another GTX 780 to go SLI,
I want to test it to see if it works before I put my water-block on and add it to the loop. However I don't want to have to dissemble my loop more than once. I would like to just pop it above the current water-cooled GPU and test it rather than remove the current GPU set up a CPU only loop and then test it.
Is it possible to properly test a gpu when another is in the slot below? Could I go SLI and see if that works? Or should I plug the display port into the new gpu and leave the old one alone? Could I just unplug the power of the old one?
Then once its working I would add it to the loop knowing at least its not dud straight from the box. If it helps the 780 i'm buying don't have any void if removed warranty strips!! (pretty awesome)
Thanks for any help.
