Asus A8N32 Sli Deluxe and Easy Plug

Hi i just bought this mobo and added an 8800 gtx and I have to say that I'm not so impressed with the performance. Although I've done no real benchmarking My games seem to have artifacts like #'s or letters flicker and jump. The manual says to use the EZ-Plug for sli, But this card is awfully power hungry. Does anyone think this might help or would the risk outweigh the reward. Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated

Asus A8N32 Sli Deluxe (non overclocked sysytem)

Does your system meet the power requirements of the 8800 GTX?
Wasn't there a recall on all 8800's?


To Reap all the performance benefits, you need besides Lot's O Power, Vista/DirectX 10

 

I think I may Have figured out what it was.....and I'm sad to say i had a brainfart....I failed to update my mobo with latest bios....I feel shame Will report back with results.

 

The new Bios seemed to do the trick.I need to buy a videocard testing program. What would you recommend.....Also I took the liberty of overclocking my system a little..Would pushing the FSB to 225 be a dangerous thing with 4 sticks of Samsung M3 68L6523CUS-CCC 512 MB SS DDR. I have a 120 millimeter fan in the door of my stacker about 4 inches over all 4 dimm slots sandra XI and Speedfan both show top temps of 46C under full load and 35 idle. My 2.2 GHz 4400+ is running at 2.48 GHz and the memory is hitting 450 mhz. should I stop ....keeep going.....count my blessings...Please Help.....
