Sli @ Last!!

I have had 1 of my 2 8800 GTS (G80) 320mb's sitting on the sidelines for two months now because my PSU couldn't handle the load.

Now hopefully this week I will be able to purchase a 750 or 850 watt PSU.

Each card is different though

One is a BFG 8800 GTS 320MB OC Edition

And the other is an EVGA 8800 GTS 320MB Vanilla Edition

Q6600 3ghz 8MB L2 Cache 1333mhz FSB
ASUS P5N-E SLI with AS5 on North Bridge Heatsink
Arctic Freezer Cooler Pro 7 w/ AS5 thermal paste
4x 512mb Corsair XMS2 5300 RAM
2x 8800GTS's 320MB apiece
20in Samsung LCD 3000:1 Dynamic contrast 2ms
Logitech G11 Keyboard
Ultra Gladiator Case w/ Blue Flood Case Mod
4x 120mm blue LED fans
2x 80mm blue LED fans
2x Blue/Blue UV Cold Cathode lights
500 watts Logysis PSU (Temp, will move to a 750w or 850w this week)

This is going to be one sweet comp.

Did you check there speeds are the same?

SLI GPUs | Graphics Cards
NVIDIA SLI GPUs deliver powerful, elegant and super-rich graphics for games and other graphics-intensive applications. Combining two NVIDIA SLI-Ready certified graphics cards (with the same GPU) in a single system with an nForce SLI MCP results in up to double the graphics performance.

The speeds aren't the same. But nVidia fixed it so that the cards could run in tandem with each other at different speeds.

If I have to I will underclock the BFG to the EVGA speed if it becomes a problem.
