• Unable to enable Crossfire

Mnkay. So I've been in a sort of crappy situation lately. A bit ago I transferred all my stuff into my new HAF. Doing so, I was stupid enough to not use those back-screw like things, so I blew a motherboard. So, went and borrowed a different one (Specifically, burnt an ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe, was using some Gigabyte thing). I couldn't Crossfire my 4870X2s because the second 16x PCI-E port was broken in half (literally, I can get some pics if you all want). Finally got my ASUS back from RMA, stuck it together. And here I am. Did a Windows 7 reinstall. So, both 4870X2s back in, Crossfire bridge connected, and what do you know? Catalyst says..: "The CrossFireX internal bridge interconnects linking your CrossFireX graphics cards are not properly connected. Both bridge interconnects must be attached." I used two different Crossfire bridges, no help. Running latest Catalyst for Windows 7 64-bit. ...Help if you can. -Further information about the PC: Phenom II 955 @ 3.7GHz ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe Motherboard (Repaired) ASUS included Crossfire bridge
Pics could help.

[QUOTE=Satane;17083774]You have to use 2 crossfire bridges since two x2 is 4 gpus, buy 2 of the same brand in a store. Don't buy 1 and use it next to asus one. [/QUOTE] This, or your bridge might be broken.

Also I'm not sure but did you by any chance use a SLI bridge ?[/QUOTE] No, I didn't use an SLI bridge. I've used Crossfire before, doing this same exact setup. -And I don't see a second area for another bridge, someone want to point it out for me?

Here are pictures of the setup. Not Connected [media]http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e287/ZonicTheHedgehog/CrossfireNonConnect.jpg[/media] Connected. [media]http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e287/ZonicTheHedgehog/CrossfireConnect.jpg[/media] As seen, the 4870X2s only have a spot for one Crossfire bridge. And.. also as seen, I put it in correctly.
