Hey...just wondering if the use of SLI will make a diffenrence in the O/C'ing of the processor? Will I still get STABLE results?

Thanks...in advance... Smile

No, as long as you keep your FSB and RAM tied (1:1 or 2:1) and you keep to a good FSB in a multiple of 33MHz, you should be 100% stable with proper voltage for the overclock.

I'll say though, 99% stable is no problem!

SLI will not affect the processor's overclock-ability.

Hey Wizzard! Smile

I have another 'board that is an ATI - crossfire compatible...
I am using the same memory in THAT mobo, as I did in the SLI one...
My Question is:

Should I be setting the ratio of DDR2 to 1:1. When I did that with the Crossfire board, it says that , in the POST, that it is running 400 MHz....which leads me to YET ANOTHER QUESTION...should I leave the FSB at it's "default" of 200, or, go for looking for a "multiple of 33Mhz..." setting?

Once again...Thanks , in advance, for the Help!!!!
