Hello everybody,
I just finished installing various components to my new computer, and I've been wanting a tri-screen set up for a while. I finally have the ability to run more then one PCI-E video cards, but it seems like it really isn't working out on the P6T. I currently have a XFX HD 4890 working fine, but I would like to put in my old ATI X1800XT. I've done some research about drivers and how Vista handles them but i'm not sure if thats the problem entirely.
I have a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Motherboard
If I put the X1800 on the second PCI-E slot, the video card fan just runs at 100% with the 4890 already in the first slot. The 4890/X1800 runs fine regardless of the slot, only if it is alone. If I put the X1800 on the first PCI-E, it runs fine while the 4890, on the second slot, has its fan on 100%.
I'm not sure if this is a software problem or hardware or what. I know the X1800 still runs normally because if i put it back into my old computer, the fan runs at it's normal speed. Also, I don't think its a PSW issue since I'm using a Corsair that's rated to 620 Watts and I'm not overclocking or anything of that matter.
Thanks for reading, and any help will be appreciated.
