Working on it now :-D Anyone have suggestions on bios tweaks for this board? What's all this PEG stuff do?

Anyone know how to get this thing to shut up about the cpu fan? Of course I don't have one, I'm running a prometeia!

my recommendation is that yes, you need a 2xmolex -> 6pin PCIe adapter.

yes of course 2 molex are always better. This adapter (the one they ship with the card) is a joke, not only is it broken (one pin missing which is essential !) but also only draws from ONE molex (which is rated at max. 75W....the card can draw much more than 75W Utter junk adapter....i am glad i got the one from newegg even if i dont have my X850XT PE yet.

Don't forget that the card draws some of it's power from the motherboard, so it is not likely to be drawing all of it's power from the Molex connector.
