Tagan 430W silent modular.
Duster - nah :P - I know I know - I'll get it done when I remember :).
 
Thanks for the support :)

Ran Prime overnight then took the gamble to go straight for 2.6Ghz and added the extra 6fsb. She's now priming at 2.5993 Ghz :). Guess I need an extra fsb to reach the first target but I'm hopefull of a bit more out of her :).
 
haha Keyboards my daughters old one.. she has this habit of decorating things - lol...

As I type I'm running a 3DMark 06 benchmark on it.. I'll be back with the current status in a little while :). Looking promising for a stable O/C at 236FSB though. Just wish I had a ram divider as the rams starting to limit ( proved by running the non-RAM torture test and getting no errors but getting errors in the with ram test in prime95 ) the O/C and I'm now sure the CPU will go higher as I figured the origonal problem I though was CPU ( so was pushing the CPU volts up and thus temp ) was the Ram.
 
Benchmarks so far :-

The initial test was Default CPU, Default Graphics (other than it being 16 pipes) gave 3DMark05 4671 and in the benchmark on prime95's benchmakr gave a Best time for 67 bit trial factors: 12.675 ms.

Overclocking the GTO2 to 494/594 Gave 3dMark05 of 6077 and 3dMark06 of 2006

Gives 3dMark05 6155 3dMark06 2051 and Best time for 67 bit trial factors: 10.564 ms.

Next to wind up the graphics a bit :).

Sadly looks like I've suffered from the bad experience of the bay and my cards havn't arrived...

Gives three options...

Buy 2 of Leadtek WinFast PCX6600GT-TDH GeForce PCX6600 GT 128MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) to carry on the SLI theme.

Or stick with the GTO2..

Or any other options you guys can think of.

I'm thinking of installing watercooling at some point but that's for another time/project. May even do that in another case I have ( full tower ) in the future.

Not sure how that rates for a air overclock but I'm reasonably happy with it.
 
Or even two
XFX GeForce 6600 256MB DDR2 DUAL DVI XXX Edition
assuming that =
XFX GeForce PCX6600 Extreme XXX Edition 256MB DDR2 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT43-PUDS7) (GX-058-XF)

As the former is the description on the XFX site and latter OCUK.. Former is SLI compatable, latter the picture shows a SLI connector but doesn't say SLI compatable - this card is a nice choice as it's on this week only.
 
Working on it :)

Got two 6600's from OCUK but SLI's been playing me up something rotten. Trying to get them overclocked in SLI mode is proving hard although in single mode I'm happy with the OC I'm getting ( about 150mhz boost ( 400 to 550) on GPU and RAM ( which I expected to be poor ) from 800 to 975. Also had trouble in that the wierd test that Nvidia like kept failing so had to disable it.

Single benchmarks are about 3000 in 3DMark05 and 1500 in 06 - just under double in SLI mode.

I'll do a full post when I've got SLI working as I hope.
