Hi guys, i could need some help...

Long story short: Got a RIVE, with 3x680(4gb) in slot 2,3 and 4. Latest beta drivers (have tried others), latest BIOS.
Problem is all three cards are detected by windows, but only 2 by the NVIDIA Control Panel.

What I have tried:

Checked all the cards one by one, all working fine.

Checked the slots one by one, all of them works fine.

Checked SLI Bridge, all of them gave same result.

Checked power connectors, power is good.

No debuging/error lights on the RIVE.

Tried clean install of software, cleansed registry.

Tried clean install of software, cleansed registry. Installed software with only one card.

What else is there? It's the one in slot 4 btw, at the end.. and got nothing in slot 1.

Have you tried it with the way that most people configure tri-sli [i.e. the first 3 red slots]?

We have no clue what kind of rig you have.
It seems like you know your thing and you can't come up with a solution (I see you've tried a few tricks), if you require help it will help us a lot to know what kind of parts you own so we can elaborate and think of a solution.

I might have to, but that means draining both loops, and rebuilding them...

I'm afraid that might be the problem, but I sure hope not. The first slot is obstructed by the cpu cooling loop.

Can anyone please come up with something ingenious before I pull my rig apart, and order more tubing?
