Where can I find the sli hack? I only see the initial news, and then everyone saying the dev disappeared and it's not available.

Anyway, I still have my e8600 sitting right here... But really... 4.4ghz vs 4.11ghz... Not to big a difference... Although the whole 457 fsb vs 550 fsb is annoying.
no matter what your 790i requires more juice +.05-.1
500fsb is a new ballgame its the big bang
my rex needed extreme voltages for 500fsb

Chip: SLB9L Malay, Q820A601, VID=1.200V (from CoreTemp)
Board: DFI LP LT X38-T2R, latest BIOS
RAM: 2 x 2GB OCZ Blade LV PC2-9200
Cooler: Zalman CNPS9700-NT

I'm just wondering if you guys can give me a ball park speed/voltage I should be aiming for to use the machine 24/7 long term. And any little tips/tricks which have arisen from this thread (sorry I haven't read it all!).

Cheers,

Su

P.S. Also, I noticed a lot of you disable VDroop control - why is this?
480-500fsb x9
333/800 divider
cpu 1.36-1.4v
vtt 1.3
pll 1,55 max any more you will degrade cpu
nb 1.55
gtls can stay on auto
intel says to dissable vdroop to protect cpu
well i ennabled vdroop on dfi
