Quad SLI problem with sli bridge

meds · **Quad SLI problem with sli bridge -** 08-04-2012, 22:30 | posts: 377

I have a quad sli bridge with a PSU and mobo that support quad sli but my PC still can't enable quad sli. GPU-Z and CPU-Z both show that the card is plugged in and working but nvidia won't enable quad sli. EDIT: Device Manager is reporting error 43.

code 43 is a driver problem what drivers are you running

The beta 304.79 I believe.

Tried the non-beta drivers and still issues.

Does the card with driver issues run by itself?

I would swap the card with the issues to the lead card

Well, it seems that the pci-express-molex adapter is causing the issues. Any hints on what to do?

try a 6 pin and 1 moldex 6 pin adapter on 2 cards and regular 2 6 pin on 2 cards. that last card your using just has moldex connectors

Yeah, it's definitely the PSU/ pci-express to molex connectors. Going to return this and get a coolermaster 1200 watt no longer necessitating the use of poor adapters.

Contact Corsair and tell them you need 2 pci-e connectors for your psu. I think it's like $15 or so + shipping.

Good to hear. By the way, what frames do you get generally when gaming?

I'm willing to bet 300+ when fully maxed.

In older games 500+
