Beautiful! that worked perfectly! Thanks! i thought it was going to be some command line in the cc_config, i Tried several, however i couldn't figure out, but that worked splendid, time to crunch!

... supposing the heat stays ok! I tried wedging some gaps into it, but the temps didn't sway too much, holding steady around 60-65 which i'm fine with. Watercooling will be my best bet for the future, so i can overclock and not under clock these puppies!

Thanks again for the help guys.

Is there anyway to Force it to use that GPU aswell? Catalyst is recognizing it, Boinc is recognizing it, now i just have to figure out how to get it to use it/ figure out where and why it's saying not to use it. any thoughts?

Hello just wondering if Triple Crossfire is at all suported? right now boinc is saying / only using my two Asus Matrix 5870's (2gb) but not using my Reference (dell) ATI 5870. I have the newest Catalyst drivers, and it recognizes my cards just fine.

Motherboard is an Asus p6t-2e PCI-E 2 slots are 16x 16x and 4x.
intel i7 930, running at 3 ghz.

Would be nice to get that third card Crunching.

Does anybody notice heat issues when running crossfire? at stock speeds my temps soared to 90+ i had to underclock as low as i could go, (600mhz) and then ramp the fans to 100% and i'm now maintaining a steady 68-70 Degrees Celsius.
