    Hello,

    Had a lot of problems with my lovely R1 in the last couple of weeks (see my last 2 threads)

    So now I enabled my SLI, and ran the Multi-Gpu Furmark. The weird things were that I had about 4 FPS on 1280 x4 AA, and it kind of affected the thremal graph. The temperatures did not even bother to change a degree from 53 C. So It looks like they are being some kind of limited by some controller or something.

    By the way, after I had my dvd drive changed, my wrist rest area before the keyboard (the area on the left from the touchpad), does not look anything like properly closed. Like bent and not clicked on the rubber thingy there.


    Actually a little correction. I just tried it again and the temps started rising, but I still got an average on 7 fps. I guess it should be like muuuuuch higher.
