Wolfrider Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 This motherboard has been nothing but trouble. I used to have no signal to the monitor, so I had to use a old amd card to flash the bios. Now it can take other graphic cards, unlike before the update. Trouble is, I only get a signal in the bottom pci-e slot Why is that so bad? It leaves only 1cm between my gpu and the power supply, causing my 780ti to reach temps of 85 degrees at load. The other two slots give no signal to the monitor, even though the mobo code is A0, which should mean everything works. The horrible driver support from asus doesn't help either, had to get the bios from a third party website. Any ideas how to remedy this? Worst case I can put the psu outside the case, or get an aio for the card, but that would ruin the aestethics Specs: i7 2600k Asus P8768 deluxe (non-gen3) Corsair pro 850 watt modular psu gigabyte oc 3x 780ti Kingston fury 8gb 1333mhz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchalogamer Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 That series of motherboards seems to have a ton of problems. I found more than one user with similar problems with a little googling around and it seems that most gave up and tried another video card (that usually worked fine in the top slot) or replaced the motherboard. I DID however see a comment about video cards booting with UEFI vs the older BIOS standard being an issue on one of the other models, though I'm not sure what mode your board is trying to boot VGA cards in especially using a 3rd party BIOS (something I normally don't like but seeing as ASUS can't seem to get it right either why not). I did look and if I managed to find your 780ti model it looks like gigabyte may have released a BIOS update for it (two versions listed on the update page for the card I looked up) If they have released a new BIOS for your video card I would consider flashing it to see if that makes them play nicer together. Hopefully a VGA BIOS flash will take care of it and if not best of luck because I have no idea at the moment and would be at the point of telling a customer it costs too much for me to keep troubleshooting it, time to replace it.
