MaddMutt Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I just got the z690 Apex 🙂 I got it a week after the z690 Hero as I could not get win 7 to install. I'm 95% sure that it was a NVMe error as I got it to install on the Apex with a SSD. Here's the question : I installed 2 x gtx-590's on the Hero but was unable to get them to SLI under windows 8.1/10 as I've used win 7 for these older cards. I've now switched to the Apex and I get a d4 error (PCI resource allocation error) when I have the second gtx-590 installed. Does anyone know how to fix this on the Apex?? Thank You For Your Time 👍 Here's a link to my submission for GPUPI with the 2x gtx-590's https://hwbot.org/submission/5545348_ https://hwbot.org/submission/5545352_ Here's a screen shot of the setup 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seby Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o2vVkMRurpZpaJ9OAf1f1pCPWTiqHj3M/view?usp=sharing You can try flashing this bios with USB BIOS flashback and seeing if it makes a difference, but it's interesting that it worked on the hero. If that one doesn't work, I posted another one I did in a slightly different way on discord bios mods channel Edited April 28 by Seby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddMutt Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Do I need to rename it to something special? I tried though the BIOS and was told that it was not a true bios file. I then tried it though BIOS FLASHBACK (renamed to sli_cf_bios.cap and slibios.cap) and it didn't flash 😞 Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seby Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) MZ690A.CAP like detailed in the normal bios downloads on asus support page. Or you can use biosrenamer.exe that is included with the downloads there Edited May 2 by Seby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
