Thanks Allgamer for the options and comments. No I have not tried those things as I do not have another G-card to use. But I did, for a few moments consider buying another G-card, perhaps the new...

I'm no expert on this, a nubie, but I did read that you would install a 6 pin power in the EZ PLug slot if you were running 4 graphics cards, and that it would not hurt if you were to do it with...

Hi again. :)

Hi NickH. I think you are advising Xtreme Performance to try an Active Adapter to see if that solves the black screen issue. I believe based on what I have read that you need either one Displayport...

I used the DVI cable instead of Displayport and booted up again. It worked. The Monitor displayed the splash screen and a DEL got me into the BIOS. I installed the Windows 7 OS and then MS Office...

Thanks Arne. Well, that's a relief! Thanks for the info.

I will try a DVI cable to see if the Displayport cable is the culprit. I did look at the Displayport connector and it seemed to be a...

I just built my new PC and booted up for the first time. Problems were encountered per the description below:

I thunk I just may buy it and get my rig closer to completion. :)

Thanks for the info on your experience Jobeo. Much appreciated. I will look into FancyCache and Ramdisk.

Have you heard of the Intel chipset issue as I mentioned in my original post? Or this...

With three ASUS HD7970-DC2T cards, you must be inserting them in slots 1, 3 and 6 of the RIVE MOBO, so there would be less air getting to cards one and two as there are no free PCI-e slots between...

I have the Rampage IV Extreme motherboard, and getting an i7-3630K CPU, and hopefully soon an ASUS HD7970-DC2T graphics card (or something else if AMD does not fix this card soon and get product out...

Hi again. Sorry to hear that no one could assist you. Wish I could, but I do not have the knowledge or experience. Regarding the ASUS HD7970 DirectCU II TOP card, I am waiting to see if ASUS...

I am also interested in the HD7970 DC2T card and received the same message. When trying to place in cart, the system says out of stock. Regarding your comment that "the heat sink was faulty", I am...

Are you using three ASUS HD7970 DC2T 3-slot cards or the HD7970-3GD5 regular version?

Hi houndazs. I hate to troubleshoot my own stuff too, LOL, cause it means I have troubles! :)

Thanks Mdzcpa. Glad to hear that there was no noticeable stuttering or tearing, and also that the heat was manageable too.

Hi houndazs. Sorry to hear about your faulty card. When not overclocked, how do the 2 cards run? Any stuttering or tearing?

Hi Radi8tor. I am debating the use of 2 ASUS HD7970 cards (regular version) versus the DirectCU II cards. I would prefer to go with 2 of the DirectCU II cards (with cooler) in order to use the...

Hi mdzcpa.
I am interested in seeing how you are doing with these two cards in the 800D with air cooling. I am thinking about doing the same but use the Corsair H100 to cool the CPU and run the rad...

Thanks Necrosan.
One final question:
