Make sure that you use a good TIM cleaner fluid to get all the old stuff off - and only use about a grain of rice of the paste - as it spreads very easily - do not be tempted to use more than needed as this has an opposite effect on transferring the heat :eek:
Are you sure that you are supplying enough power to the setup for SLI?
Most SLI MOBO's have an additional 4 pin molex near where the 2 cards go to help supply more power.
failing that you may have to tweak the options in the Nvidia drivers to optimise the SLI setup
Right - go into the BIOS and disable the SATA port - thats why the system is stating no array defined, as the port is active, but there is nothing connected to it
I have just looked at the prices of the X1300 sub £40 :eek:
And you are looking to play a game that was released this decade :eek:
I am surprised you dont get lag on pacman :eek:
a CPU slowdown of it being irratic normally indicates you dont have a CPU driver installed - have a check on the MOBO chipset drivers if there is a later version.
