Shorting A1-B17 worked on Foxconn (card was detected and running). However after running for 12 hours it seems like the PCIE slot on mobo died. I tried using the second port but apparently it died too shortly after.
I was running total of 3 5830 cards on Foxconn (overclocked from 800 to 900). Is it possible that the card was draining too much power from PCIE x1 which caused it to get damaged?
When you run cards on PCIE x1 do you also redirect A2,A3,B1,B2,B3 pins to use 12V directly from PSU isntead of mobo?
