Please forgive if this question has already been answered however I could not find anything posted on what has to be a very common problem. For this question I dont think my entire system spec's are required expect to say that I will be installing 2 video cards right now and then another 2 within the next few months for a total of 4. The MB User's Manual states that when two or more video cards are used to plug the power supply into BOTH the PCIE_12V connectors on the motherboard. The problem is as many of you probably know that when the Silent_Pipe Module is plugged in that it blocks one of the PCIE_12V connectors. It really blocks it good too if you try to force it in then you are going to damage the Silent_Pipe Module. It looks as if you could clip part of the Silent Pipe off without effecting the heat dissipation much however I am pretty sure that would void my warranty. Also to note right now water cooling is not an option so I cannot just go and install a few tube's into the fittings. I think the board is great and would like to keep it but am wondering how GA could make such an error on their flagship board? More importantly I am wondering how to fix it or work around it. Will GA be sending people whom bought the board a modified Silent-Pipe to replace the one that does not work? Is there any kind of work around that I am not thinking of? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Richard
