750a problems

[Midvalley1234]

Ello everyone. So here is the jist. Ive got a 750a with 2 xfx 9800 gtx's. First and foremost problem...when i insert either of the cards into the top PCIE 2.0 slot the system wont even POST. Both cards work when tested individually in the bottom slot. Another thing i am finding odd is there is no SLI Bridge in the mobo box. Thanks for the much needed help!

I don't know how this slipped my grip. On the 750a the bottom green slot is the primary. Make sure you check all of the packaging again but if there isn't an SLI bridge start a ticket at http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/Help/Support.aspx and PM me the ticket number. I will get one sent out for you. Make sure you are jumpering the board for SLI before putting both cards in. It is kind of a pain to move those with them in.

I have a brand new XFX GeForce 750a mobo, and I have 2 EVGA GeForce 7600GS vids that I want to hook up in SLI config on the new board, which did not come with an SLI bridge. If XFX can supply a bridge, I will be able to complete my install. I started ticket # 169117 on the XFX help site, requesting one. Any help is greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to return the new mobo for lack of a bridge!

Thank you!

I Have have not been able to find any instructions for jumpering my XFX GeForce 750a mobo for SLI. The only reference to any jumpers I can find shows SLI jumpers between the PCI-e slots, but what to do with them is not self-explanatory. Can you kindly post some advice? Thanks for your help!

[XFX Tech]

It should have come with one but, that is fine, we can send you a bridge. The jumpers on the board just need to be moved over one row to enable SLI. If you look next to the rows there are numbers. On rows 1 and 2 is normal operation. On rows 2 and 3 is SLI Mode.

Why would you get SLI 9800 not a GX2?

[GC3333]

Are you able to access my XFX customer account through the ticket number, so that you have my name and address for sending the SLI bridge?

[XFX Tech]

Yup, I will having one sent to you.

[GC3333]

Thank you very much!!!

I'll look forward to receiving the bridge!

You guys need to do something about this board :/

Not sure what you mean that we need to do about this board. Its biggest drawback seems to be the 95W limitation. Yet, today, I bought an OEM 95W 9750 (B3) in a $180 combo deal at Fry's that includes a cheap ($60) ECS mobo. Well, I saw today that someone was already selling this combo on Ebay for $200 starting bid! So anyway, now I have a 9750 that can run on my XFX without frying it. That's plenty fast for me, especially given the price. And the 95W 9750 is supposed to be more overclockable than the 125W version. Sweet.

My post was merely aimed towards XFX about the board. Thats cool you found a 95w 9750 though.
