So in my efforts to build "The Juggernaut" gaming system, I've hit a snag.
I purchased a gigabyte Radeon HD7970 graphics card, and the mobo shows an "E6" or "6E" error. The system halts, and I have to reinstall my old geforce 4850 to get any type of display. I thought of returning the 7970 in favor of the Geforce 670, but I've read other's had similar problems, and intel techs telling them to replace the mobo
I can't return the mobo because I bought it on flebay, and the guy says since it's been opened it's a 25% restocking fee, +$25 to cover their 'free shipping', and I have to pay for return shipping (total bs)...
Since I already had everything setup, I'd prefer to ask you guys if this really is a compatibility issue, and if so, what graphics cards are compatible w/ the DX79SR. I've been anxious to get this build done now for the better part of 3 weeks, so thanks to any who can offer some advice
