Obviously not

Well you didn't test that it worked before watercooling so I don't know what other mistakes you're capable of making no need to be sarcastic

What driver are you using? Assuming that both cards are OK, uninstall and reinstall the latest, Cat 13.8 Beta2, CF should be enabled by default. See the system in my sig? Running just fine with 3x HD7970's.....btw, your board does have IGP, right? Did you disable it? Having IGP enabled may mess up CF I believe....

If IGP's enabled, disable it first, before updating drivers and such, good luck! :)
