Right!

Some CF numbers on AMD using yet to be release AMD790FX chipset ...

I know this is not a C2Q but still cards are working perfectly! It is also quite easy to OC both cards skipping some of steps from NH guide even with only one monitor....

With CF I haven't had any shuttering experienced with one card and it generally fells much better (except when I'm looking at KillAWatt )!

Great results man. They must run HOT in that cramped of a space

Are you using a real 8pin connector ? or just a 6pin with the shortage trick .

Real 8-pin.

I'm starting to think 8 pin and 6 pin makes a difference with 3d core voltage but I'm not sure. Can someone with the XT BIOS on a 512MB card (the BIOS I directed you to use in my guide) post up a picture like the following with 2x 6 pin connected?

Here's mine on the regular ATi 512MB XT BIOS w/8 pin & 6 pin... CCC unlocked, clocks @ stock. (Click thumbs to enlarge)

Nicks I've tried 2x6pin and 6+8pin with no difference to VGPU.... it's something else...

Real 8-pin.

Not to bad I must say! Never exceeding 80C on upper card....

Man I'm totally stumped to what it could be, since it doesn't seem to be affected by the BIOS flash.. it's gotta be that. I'll play with it later maybe. Anyway, got the heatsink removal guide up on my site for all of you that have been waiting for it.

Damn.

That is good. I average 81 during gaming with a single card. My case is generally well-ventilated and cleanly wired though a bit packed as a Thermaltake Tsunami. Room temp mid to high 70s now that its getting colder outside.
