I've got an A8N-SLi SE and I've got this phat northbridge heatsink (the blue one from zalman) so I can't fit this HUGE (40cm or so) card in my primary PCI-E slot to see if it actually works (Plus to that I've got an analog (CRT) to DVI converter inbetween)
Short conclusion:
It's in the 2nd PCI-E slot
It has an vga -> dvi-i converter plugged
I've considered these:
- Putting one of my old 6600GTs in the main PCI-E slot and flash the GX2 bios to it's normal BIOS to make sure it's not messed up somehow (because the part were you screw the card has been messed up quite bad I don't know what the guy before me has done to it)
EDIT: Didn't work out because the system wouldn't boot like this????
- Buying / replacing the northbridge cooler with a new but really small cooler so I can fit the card in the 1st slot
- Any other way? Please tell me!!!!
