Thats insane as I'm questioning if my 535W Enermax can handle even 1 card when overclocked and stock CPU. I'm pretty possitive thats whats causing the reboots when both the CPU and GPU are used heavily. Thats the only thing that can explain 05/06 running fine but having to drop the GPU for 01/03.Quote:

Here's my latest run, single 8800GTX. Couldn't resist OCing a little bit :DQuote:

CPU score matters. They have a ca
lculator over at XS. If I plug in my CPU score from the other MB with these ps2/ps3 scores I get over 12100.
First decent run using SLI and a fairly mild OC.
CPU: C2D E6700
OC'd speed of CPU: 3300
MotherBoard: eVGA 680i
Ram: 2x1GB OCZ PC2-8500 C5 5 5 15 2T for now
Video Card: eVGA GeForce 8800GTX 768MB x 2
Actual Core of Video: 636MHz
Actual Mem of Video: 1000MHz
Cooling Used: ThermalRight Ultra-120, GPU: Stock
3DMark 2006 score: 14806
Edit: Oops, should have said 3DMark06 :D
I can't touch your SLI score but it might be possible to break 13K with this new 6600 when the MB comes in. Still no overclocking but I see a lot of good things about the B's on XS and it does default to 1.25v instead of 1.35v on the other one (thats a very good sign).
I can't say enough good about the C2D CPU, wow what a great OCer!! The ORB has some bugs. It appears they've done a new release of the software and its a bit screwed up. Anyway, they do get the score right but little else :D
CPU: C2D E6700

Yes, good sign. My E6700 defaults to 1.2 vCORE. Its Stepping 6, Rev B2; handles 1.3625 vCORE, FSB 1500, and Core Freq 3.75 with ease. I can probably go higher but I'll try that later.Quote:

My first run with my new system. I haven't even tweaked anything yet. Not too shabby for first run with a single card. I've got a lot of work to do but I'm too tired right now.

10786 on 2006.
I've got two. The other is not here yet L631A988. Someone at XS with a chip from the EXACT same batch 4Ghz 1.525v.Quote:

Temp isn't a problem so far using the Ultra-120 with the Silverstone FM121 fan at 110 CFM. Never went above 46c max load. Keeping the memory at 1066 or as close as I can for now -- might try seeing how it OCs later. With my 10x CPU multi I'd have to try to get the FSB up to 1700 to reach 4.0 -- might try that with a 20% overvolt of the FSB. Let us know how it goes.Quote:

I even had up to 1.65v for max overclock testing. It doesn't do much if your keeping the temperatures under check. People have been running over 1.75v on phase since it came out. I've seen a few insane people on cascade and like 1.9v and the chip is still living.Quote:

Many this video card is CPU limited. I got about 10300 on a stock E6600 versus 11127 on stock E6700. It should be very little around 3.5Ghz though :D
Well, in SLI I've had no problem running @ 3.7 but can't get a successful 3dmark06 run any higher. I've been messing around with voltages and might hit on an answer; if I do I'll let you know. I forgot, what mobo you waiting on???Quote:
