EVGA 790i Ultra 132-CK-NF79 16GB RAM SLI ISSUE

[jb23]

I have an EVGA 790i Ultra 132-CK-NF79 which is meant to have support for only 8GB of RAM, but works absolutely fine with 16GB with the official BIOS P09:

However you CANNOT have more than 10GB of RAM and 2 x Nvidia Graphics Cards in SLI. It will POST and output video to the BIOS screen for a split second, but then panic and auto reset in a loop. Anything 10GB or less works fine.

I flashed it with a more feature heavy modded BIOS from a HP Blackbird 002-01C (:

Still no change to this: it works fine with 16GB of RAM with 1 x Graphics Card, 2 x Graphics Card + >10GB RAM = POST reboot loop.

Any idea what could be causing this and how to override this reboot loop? I'm convinced it would work fine. I am new to BIOS modding but keen to learn so anything I could do to help please let me know.

Thanks,

Jon

I read up on this using the 10GB limit as a search feature and actually found the XFX F09 BIOS will support 16GB of RAM with 2 x Graphics Cards. Just flashed with that an all is good! Heres the link for the bios if people find this and are in need of it:

I'm happy anyway to get some more life out of my 790i before I finally upgrade
