    Hey guys, I've overclocked the cpu so far to 3300 and when using 1258 fsb I run prime95 and one of the workers about 30 min in gives an error stops but the other keeps going I've lowered the fsb a bit and cpu is at flat 3300 and runing a test. Any recommendations on if one fails and the other keeps going? I've selected the most stressfull test the small block says puts stress on the FPU the most.

    And I downloaded nvtune but everytime (even at default 2.8ghz stock pc) my computer would BSOD if I were to click agree on the disclamier. I uninstalled it but looking for a diffrent option to oc my sli 280m Any suggestions?

    I'm using the 186 drivers from MOo's thread. Also reports my cards speeds as

    583 memory,950/1450 for gtx 280.

    just download the Nvidia system tools and install those
    then go to Nvidia control panel and
    click performance and
    then device settings
    and click GPU

    I'd recommend ATiTool. (No don't worry, it works 100% perfectly for nVidia as well, it's what I use to overclock my desktop's 8800GT.)

    nvidia system tools 6.05 is not stabil on my windows 7. i got many freez and crashes after installation(with dox driver) and a reinstallation didnt help.

    so i will try atitool because rivatuner(and the evga version of it) show me the wronge clock values.
