Wattage requirements for my new system

[Wolfboi42]

No, it is not, im attempting a full uninstall of the drivers and then re-installing them as i post this

 

[Wolfboi42]

As of right now, with no drivers installed it is only showing Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, and no missing or unknown devices

Is that including the 970, or no? If it's not showing 2 display devices then that means it's not picking up the 660.

Including the 970 yes, I checked my BIOS and its not reading the 660 there either, the 660 is powered and running when the system is on, fans are spinning and everything, what could be the issue here? I mean it was just running a while ago

I have removed the 970 and ran the 660 alone, now i noticed...it will not display on the HDMI TV I have, but it WILL display on the VGA (DVI To VGA Adapter) monitor (Dell) I have now hooked up to it and it is reading off there....which is odd so Im going to try running the 660 of the VGA DVI and the 970 off the HDMI

Ok so upon this test, i put the 970 in the bottom red slot...and it does not detect the GPU...so is it safe to assume that the PCI slot is bad?

It could very well be. I would shoot Asus an email about it. If they setup for RMA you'll have to send your board in to be replaced.

Upon updating my bios....voila~! Both GPU's are being read and are functioning!!

Hmm that's interesting. Pushes me further away from Asus. Good to know you got it going though.
