Meh....Easy as shit....you can handle it. Slap it in to a PCIe slot, run a power cable or two to it, snap in the sli bridge, reinstall your video drivers (make sure sli is enabled in the Nvidia control panel). Simple.

Dual 480s should destroy a 590. They overclock well too.

welp my desktop is apart.....looking for an extra set of power cables.....ugh

Welp....now I did it. Put it in....put the power cables on. No Power.

I took the card back out, put everything back to the way it was. Still no power. I checked the MOBO cables etc. Everything is plugged in. When I do turn the power on, the light on the MOBO lights up but my reset button does not turn it on.

FML....any ideas?

fans and shit start spinning when you hit the power button?

**dex71** · 03-26-12, 07:15 PM

reset button on the back of your power supply?

I turn the I/O switch on in the back. The small led light come on on the MOBO. Then on the front a push and hold another button and it should start. The fans move for a fraction of a second then nothing. I do see a light flash from the built in LED case light. I'll check for a reset button.

check your main power cord too(where it plugs into the power supply).....might have got loose when you pulled it out for surgery.

also....if the LED is blinking in any sort of pattern, look it up in the manual for your MOBO. Much like a furnace, the pattern that the LED is blinking in will tell you what is wrong.
