I have such an evaluation board from Analog Devices too, and I could never get it to work properly when plugged into a PCI slot. So instead, I powered it using the molex connector (+5V and +12V) and the USB connector (+3.3V), and I connected the I2C bus directly to the motherboard (I have an SMBus header on my motherboard.) As far as I remember, that worked well. Maybe you want to try that way too. BTW, you also need to make sure that you do not have another chip at address 0x2e on this I2C bus, for example a hardware monitoring chip on the motherboard itself. Otherwise it'll never work. -- Jean Delvare
