XFX 680i SLI(non LT), Recomended settings

[bikerdude]

Afternoon

Just bought an XFX 680i SLI.

Is there a thread with regard to the recommended settings with regard to overclocking etc. Have already tried google and there isnt much int he way of results keep getting LT popping up and even then not much in the way of hard core info.

Specs:-
MOBO - XFX 680i- SLI (non LT) P30 bios
CPU - E6600 & TT-Big Typhoon
PSU - OCZ GameXtreme 600w
MEM - 2GB OCZ Flex PC9200 XTC (OCZ2FX11502GK)
GFX - 8800GTX & PCX5900 - both have been bios modded (slower in 2D and faster in 3D)
SND - X-fi XremeMusic
HDD - Hitachi 7k80x3 raid-0 (sata)
DVD - Samsung SM-S203B (sata)
CASE - Antec 900

thanks

looks good, your NB voltage seems a lil high. how are the temps on it.
everest will give you this value as the motherboard temperature.

Ive edited the previous thread to yours.. My Nb temps are 30-35c depending on room temp and load

those temps seem pretty good, whats making you need all that voltage threw the NB though? the small amount of overclocking you have on your Hyper transport>?

That is exactly why Im here...:-)

There aren't any reviews or forums that cover this board in enough detail or hard core enough to be of any use.

The setting Im using are what I have managed to glean from the few usefull results via google..

Can you list your setting in the same way as I have(see previous posts) and I`ll will try your config on my setup.

hey, no prob! im actually about to try a new OC on this machine today. have to reseat my zalman as lasttime i took it off i never applyed the AS5 again just left the old goop chillin, thus its been at stock for the last couple weeks!! the mobo has been acting up, but EVGA has released a new bios so i figure i better give it a try before i go and RMA the board. i will update ASAP! im going for a 1333 first then to 1450 we go!! maybe a 1600 push if the temps seem fine~!
im not one for OCing my HT i dont know anyone who is. Its not a bottleneck atm. seems like un-needed stress on the NB.
