I recently bought 2 asus 570's. I also got a new motherboard ( msi 870a fuzion). Ok so I moved everything over to the new motherboard and all was left were the cards, I put the first card in and everything was great. I then went to put the 2nd card in and released that its not going to fit due to them both taking up 3 pci slots each. Now my question is, does anyone know of a motherboard that will house these 2 monsters or should I send one of the cards back and get a different 570 that will only take up 2 slots. Thanks

Looking to get a new motherboard that will support my phenom II x4 965 and two 570's. I have been looking around and found the msi 870a fuzion power edition. Is this motherboard any good? Does anyone have any knowledge about this board and if it will work with my current set up (Gpu's/ram) Thanks

Cant get one atm but basically about a quarter of it has snapped of. I tried putting the bit that snapped off onto the card then placing the card down into the rest of the slot but when I turned the pc on it was showing I only had 1 card in.

I was taking one of my graphics cards out today as im moving my rig into a different case and got abit heavy handed and snapped abit of the pci slot off. Stupid I know and I could have kicked myself after for being an idiot but I was wondering is there anyway I can fix this or is it a case of getting a new motherboard? Thanks

[QUOTE="SouthyClare"]

I did try overclocking it around 3 weeks ago but the games I was playing would just close down after a while so I thought that it was just getting to hot and set back to stock settings. I take it I have broken something. Will teach me to not fiddle around with stuff im not 100% sure about :(. On another note if i were to get another 570 could I underclock the card I have now and use it in sli?

As I said just try underclocking the memory.

Sorry forgot to add I have been. Anything above 1400 seems to cause the problem.
