Greetings,
Well to start I got my board from a comp parts retailer and it was a return from the manufacturer (got a good deal for it @ $90). It didn't have anything with it. No drivers, no cables, and most importantly no SLI bridge.... I know this will be a problem later when I get another card and actually try to utilize SLI. I suppose I'll need to request the SLI bridge from the manufacturer? I heard that my be a pain in the ass...
On post I got warnings about the CPU fan speed being too low. Checked BIOS and everything looked good; I think the speed was at 3000 RPMs or something. I ended up just disabeling the warning.
I'm running a 550W PSU. I'm only using one 6800GS. I keep getting alerted (in widndows) that there is not enough power to the video. Generally when this happens all video settings get automattically adjusted down to componsate. This doesn't happen after the warning, I still have it on normal, default settings and everything seems to be running fine. I didn't hook up the power connector next to the PCIe as I understood (and noticed in the forumz) that this is only used when SLI is on. Though faced with the power issue, I connected it as well. Still faced with the same message. Anybody able to help?

if you can hook me up with that bridge I would be very greatful. email:waugustynski@comcast.net. Some pimple faced kid at Fry's told me that manufacturers are very weary of sending them out and that I would need to go through hell in trying to prove that I actually bought the damned thing, exspecially if I got it as a manufacturers return....
