    I know Gophn will cringe when he sees this but.....does the D900C bios allow for overclocking? I know you will need more cooling. The Nvidia will allow overclocking of the video cards. I already have my Zalman ZM-NC-1000 on order and was thinking of adding a Spire Pacific Breeze to the back to add in more cooling.

    Why would he? His 7800gtx is overclocked :spinny: . Only problem is, it'll void your warranty if something happens I believe. . . + Why would you want to overclock a 7950GTX? Its the best on the market already. . .

    EDIT: 2 7950GTX's, now that makes me want to cringe, thats like rub into the face maximum.

    Not such a good idea....if your planning on doing that, you'd be better off buying a real SLi setup with advance cooling. IMO

    No Clevo notebook has overclocking option within the BIOS.

    Its all done within software.

    There is no real point in overclocking within a notebook environment... especially if you have to do it through software because the performance gain would not even be noticeable or significant.

    But the Ntune overclocking of the 7950GTX's does show a benefit right? About 500 pnts in 3DMark06?

    You can use nTune.... only for the videocards

    But again, during gameplay, an overclocked mobile videocard is not noticeable since you only have a 5-10% performance increase... at best.

    Thanks I would like to be able to break 10k in 3DMark06...I'm pretty sure that will happen when the 8800's are released, but would like to be able to do it before hand! :)
