Still no link failures for my configuration. Note; I am powering my adapters through a switchable USB hub which gets it power from a USB 3.0 Expansion Card with dedicated 12v Power.

I have experienced a few link failures, but they have only been from either my computer starting up, or from waking from sleep mode. Doesn't bother me that much, the USB switch makes getting it working a snap.

Anyways, the Monitors and the Stand are on their way. Hope to post some pics soon.

Got it all set up. I had to make my own custom EDID for stability. Catalyst kept trying to revert my refresh rate. Also using powerstrip to enforce windows does not try to revert back.

That's good it's coming along nicely.

ATM, the way I have my adapters is they are powered when my monitors are powered. So I may just pickup the switch.

Here is a screenshot of the settings. I lowered my refresh rate down to 110 Hz to stay in compliance with the Monoprice Adapter Limitations. Havn't had any problems with this setup. With the mixed display outputs, to have eyefinity stable, you must have the adapted display (monoprice adapter) selected as primary.

Updated a few more things, noticed most games do not have 110Hz as a selection; so I reduced the monitors to 100Hz as to reduce any problems.

Here are some more shots currently. Also, my stand has just left New York. Hopefully I'll get it in a weeks time.

Been doing some testing @ 120Hz. Adapters get quite a bit warmer when running 120Hz. Although Monoprice Doesn't rate them to have the bandwidth necessary for it; it does seem so long as you can keep them cool they work fine. Just got off a 5 hour Zombie session in BOPS. I might open one up to see if I might be able to cool them down a bit more.

Here is an image of the cover removed. I had to use a dremel to remove the casing, there was a strong adhesive at the base holding the casing in place.

Other two came off relatively easy; just apply a bit of thumb pressure and it was off. Too bad I had to destroy the case for the other one.

Get some heatsinks next I guess cause these chips get very hot to the touch when running 120Hz. Wish I had a thermal laser or something to show the difference, but it does indeed feel quite a bit hotter.
