Don't know that software, but once you found one of the files, can you try to right-click on the file and select 'Properties' ?
It should tell you where the file is located ... and the rest should not be far away, I guess.

That says its in C:\Users\SubEffect\Desktop\ but I've navigated to there and its not.
Gahhh, all hidden folders and I'd forgotten how to reveal them. All found now. All good.

* I'm sure I'm already using a sata 3 cable.
* I may well use the second card as a physics card. Any links to info about setting that up?
* It probably looks like you have.
* You just install the 460 in the second slot and then going into the nVidia control panel and set it up as a physx card.
What PSU do you have..? as it will need to be at least a branded 600W to handle the load.

It's an Antec 650W.
Still awaiting the new heatsink and fan so I'll be giving the 460 a good clean and making sure the heatsinks on it are mounted okay.
I think the issue was a combination of the CPU an GPU overheating - both heatsinks and fans were pretty clogged. This new install is very nice and... light though. I've 2TB of disks that haven't been put back - just running on the 2 SSDs at the moment. The other HDs are all pretty much back-ups anyway so I'll seat but not connect them for the time being.
The SSD cable is an Antec SSDIII cable btw.

Regarding the Antec PSU, what the model..?
SubJeff on 14/12/2012 at 23:57
I think its the Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU. Why?

To see if your PSU has enough current to supply both the gfx cards, when you put the 460 in as the physx card.
Review of your PSU - (

It has 3 +12V/19A rails, the problem you will have is there are only 2x PCI-E power connectors on that PSU which you will plug into your GTX660. The onoly way you can power the 460 is if there is a spare power lead with molex connectors that not plugged into anything, you can then get 2x Molex-to-pci-e adapters. This means that you cant plug anything else into that lead though.
You could just not bother and keep the 460 as a spare or you could buy a better PSU, and keep the antec as a spare/backup.
Here is a branded PSU with Single 12V rail(single is better than multi), 4* PCI-E, 700W, $79 (

the non-ti (which I believe he ended up buying) only needs/has one power connector, so he should be fine.
SubJeff on 15/12/2012 at 13:18
Yes, it is a non-Ti and it only needs one power lead.

so, setting up the 460 as a dedicated physx card should be easy as pie. enjoy all 5 games that will actually benefit from this. :D
