pretty awesome, you must have lucked out and gotten one of the 2600k's that will do over 48 multi stable, rest is pretty awesome as well

nice rig bud. I would like to see 3d mark vantage score on that setup. just out of curiosity, Why are you using the quad connector for the VGA's?

Haven't ran Vantage as using 3DMark11 but I can run it as I have that too. That's actually a triple SLI Bridge...lol Reason I am using it is because I like the PCB Board SLI bridges better. Trying to figure out how to make one right now or buy one for just two cards.

Yeah I did get lucky on my chip..lol I actually bought it from a friend and already new the batch number and that it was easily stable over 4.8 ghz so couldnt resist buying it for $200 and traded a the Corsair Memory Module cooler that came with my RAM.

that's quite a beast! :P :P

Thank you Snake. Been running like a champ.

How the heck did you connect that? I didn't know it was possible to use it with a SLI config.

Just plugged it in to the bridge and that's it. I actually had to move my one card down so I could get a true x16 X x16 SLI configuration. I maybe lose 1 fps if that on benchmarks I have ran so far. Saving for liquid right now and then I am going to completely take the dremel to that case and mod it into something special.

Here is my recent 3dMark11 Score:

The score would be a lot higher if I had better GPU's but the 465's can play anything I throw at it on max settings. Going to get 2 GTX 580's pretty soon and should be above 12000 by then.

@shotcalla thank you
