    Man! It was my mistake!! Sorry, I forgot to delete the original BIOS file, after I had it extracted to get FLASHSPI. So it flashed the original/official one! Now I deleted it (and yours remained), FLASHSPI said it could not succesfully read the BIOS file and refused. I didnt know I had to command it myself with "FLASHSPI SLIC.BIN". But I guessed so, and now it is flashed succesfully and I think these are the results we wanted?

    BTW, what "brand" did you use for the SLIC mod? Or in other words, which cert should I install?

    Okey, I'm kinda stuck now... I found the brand used for SLIC mod is Gigabyte (GBT) and I found a Gigabyte cert, installed it, installed a key, but I cant get it genuine again.Never mind, fixed this with Daz's Loader.

    Also, can you please send me in the right direction for a modified driver or hal? Or how I can mod it myself?

    Should I try a new Windows install? Hope you're still around Tito.

    Hi

    Now you've flashed the SLIC modded F12o could you post a screenshot from AIDA64 Motherboard -> ACPI -> DSDT table (making sure you scroll to the bottom where it has NVidia SLI)

    Thanks
    Andy

    Still have not made any progress. Today I will backup my stuff and do a clean software install. But I'm not sure if I should try the modified BIOS + HALmod again, or use the original BIOS + HyperSLI tool...

    Just to let you know; the modified BIOS + fresh Windows install + hall.dll mod still didnt work. This time I didnt use any Loader, which I thought could've been the problem. But it wasn't.
    So I gave that up, reversed what the hall mod did and tried the HyperSLI method. This time this worked perfectly! So my SLI is up and running finally :D

    Greets and thanks for all your help.
