sup all,

With my rig currently under construction for an upgrade it took me some time to get near a PC, so here I am @work typing the reply

The thing is, back in the day when GL bought the mobo ( that I bought from him at a later stage, SRY for that RLY ) HyperSLI was a way to get SLI going on non-SLI certified board by injecting an ASUS SLI certificate. With that out off the way there are nowadays several ways to enable SLI on the AMD board.

HyperSLI is one, but also modified drivers with the SLI certificate in it are avaliable at the same site. With that in mind you do need to enable the test driver mode in windows from http://www.ngohq.com/?page=dseo

Keep in mind that SLi likes or rather in surround mode needs PCIe broadcasts and with 2 PCIe bridges in our board it is important to understand that SLI needs to be done on the same bridge preferably, but since the newer all-in-one drivers I found not mandatory in single screen SLI mode.

In other words: I got quad SLI going with one 590 installed on a PCIe lane connected with one bridge and the other with the other 590 installed. But then only in single screen SLI, enabling surround SLI with 3 screens caused a BSOD.

Having said that I use the newest BIOS from the SuperMicro site, different BIOSes in the GTX590 ( that definately a todo )

Having installed 2 590s on the board causes wayyy to much heat, so right now I'm working on an extra case that will have both boards, and at a later stage when possible, 3 GTX590s. the 260 are planned to be placed inside the board without extenders.

Hope it helped ya'll a bit.
