ASUS P8Z77-WS + GTX680 SLI results in weird startup lockups

WOW!! So true! Switching The second GPU to the PCIe x16_2 slot really fixed the issue. But I'm at a loss, as in I spent 400 bucks for the flexibility of choosing pcie slots but looking at the matters at hand this doesn't seem to be the case. Could this board still be deemed faulty?? Also...

ASUS P8Z77-WS + GTX680 SLI results in weird startup lockups

Good point Zxian!! I'll try shifting the sound card to PCIe x1_2 slot and move up my second GPU to PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16_2 slot. I think, ATM, all slots populated are sharing the same IRQ (i.e., PCIe x16_1, PCIe x1_1 & PCIe x16_3 they all share same IRQ. Hmmmm..this could be the very reason why my...

ASUS P8Z77-WS + GTX680 SLI results in weird startup lockups

I have tried without the SLI Bridge as well as not enabling SLI from the driver level, however, the issue doesnt happen until you restart most of the times. With regards to different slot configuration, I havent tried yet. I should, eh? I will try that as soon as i get home. But I really do...

ASUS P8Z77-WS + GTX680 SLI results in weird startup lockups

Hey guys, Having a bit of an issue here. I hope someone from ASUS could figure this out. After I installed the GTX 680s x2 in a SLI configuration my system freezes as soon as I enable SLI or as soon as I boot my system to windows with SLI enabled. I have connected my cards in the blue slots...

Z77 motherboard recommendations please

I was in the same dilemma as you are; 2 GPUs, 1 sound card and 1 pcie raid card. I went for the asus p8z77 ws for future proofing slightly expensive but will be worth it once the pcie 3 std matures!!!!

Motherboard/Platform Advice :confused:

Thx for replying arnoc! Look, I do realize that I've to change the processor. For x79 most viable option for me is 3820 and for ivy bridge it would be either 3770K or 3750K depending on the reviews and OC capabilities. My main concern is thenthird PCIe x16 lane dropping to x4!!! And don't forget...
