Hey guys, I just purchased a water-cooled system off ebay,

Koolance Water-Cooled Case

It came with a Asus A7V33-R motherboard, and it has AGP Pro, my tnt2 pro worked fine in it for testing, and I was wondering can I use my BFG 6800 GT OC in that motherboard? If not, I have a MSI KT4V that will work for sure. But my w/c system is all ready, and I was wondering if I can use my 6800 GT OC with the asus motherboard.

Thanks,

IceDogg

Yes you can use it. That motherboard has a 4x AGP slot on it and the 6800 GT supports 4x/8x AGP. The "pro" part is just an added section that supplies more voltages, usually used in professional cad cards from what I've heard.

well, my tnt2 pro & 6800 GT OC both run on the motherboard, but the monitor will not come on, i've tried 2 monitors, same problem. Do you suggest I just buy myself a cheap nforce2 mobo for the system? or do you guys have any other solutions, cuz I'd like to get this mobo to work.

Do you guys know how I could get my TNT2 Pro or 6800 GT to work on this motherboard? I really dont wanna spend $50+ more on a new motherboard, I'd like to get this system up and running this weekend. I don't think its the monitor, but, if anyone have any solutions, i'll give it a shot.

Any help?

Are you sure the board isn't fried? How do you know it works?

well, theres a green led on the motherboard that lights up, and i read in the manual online, that the green led means the system is up and running, so, i'm pretty sure the motherboard isn't dead. But i'm probably gonna buy a new nforce2 motherboard next week, around $50 or so, possibly abit.
