Yes, good idea. For GTX 295 it is probably a good idea to have them pluged, though I know for a fact that
it would work with at least one. There was a girl here on this thread that had them working with only one.
So, we are talking about the EZ-PLUG_1 and EZ_PLUG_2. Look in the Instruction book on Page 2-46.
Make sure you have them conected. Also make sure you have a strong Power Supply Unit.
A single GTX 295 need from 31-35 Amps of current on the 12 volt rail. Multiply that by two.

fixes some oc staion issues
You are right, sorry, but 200x21 is so nice and round number.
I was thinking you want to go higher, as you are testing 406X MHz and 409X MHz IIRC. Anyway, try 200x20 and if it gives you trouble try 191x21, or 210x19. Be sure to set CPU multi manually and not leave it on auto, as I never seen it go over set value, at least on this board. What I'm saying is if you set it to 21x it should stay @ 21x and not raise one core to 22x.
Good for you. It never helped me OC, only made it worse and that is on Xeon W3540.
CPU LLC helps voltage stay spot on, so usually you can lower voltage, as it doesn't drop under load any more.

Damn than i have a creepy board cause i set it manually to 21x but the x22 or to be exactly the x21.9 multi kicks in but no problem right now im running 203x20 @ 1.3000v set @ bios, but right now im playing around a bit with cpu pll to get 1.29x or even 1.285x stable
Edit: @ donmarkoni
i owe you one, got stable @ 1.270v first with 1.84 CPU PLL, think 1.3-1.4 was bit too low, and now i tried CPU PLL 1.7 and yeah atm 10passes stable which looks promising, most of the time i pass the first 5 LinX runs the other 20 runs stable too . Idle temps are pretty low now 36-38-34-32

So if this helps just one person its worth a post,
yesterday windows had an optional update (win 7 64) available which is a "Promise ACHI raid controller driver" .....hmm no idea what this is but foolishly I installed it, upon re start my ICH10R raid array was missing............oh dear !
luckily restore got me up and running but for some if the bootdrive is on the intel controller it could be messy, fortunately my boot drive at this time is back on the marvell.
donmarkoni - can you post up ur BIOS settings please? Really interested in ur settings. Just cant get over 220 blck stable. Thank u very much in advance.
Even though this memory isn't on the Asus Rampage III Extreme list will it still work?

EK waterblock here too, temps stay nicely around 35-39°C level
Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro Asus Saaya yupp, I agree
