I am debating buying another 8800gts (g92) sli.

a quick general rundown of what I have, dont have exact specs right now.

Q6600 (bought for OC, never succeeded :( so this is at stock speed)
ASUS Sli MB
4gb sli compatible ram
8800gts (g92)
Sli compatible Power Supply

I game at 1920x1080
Fallout3 runs nicely at 1920x1080, ultra high, vsync, hiccups every once in a while. Could be lil smoother.

Crysis warhead: currently runs at high, but I do not want to finish the game until i can play it like its ment to be played, all very high and 1920x1080.
 
Buy one used for ~100. If you don't like it, sell it back your only out shipping costs. I think a second one is easily worth the 100$ they are now used. But, it's your money.
 
Ya I was seeing them on newegg pretty reasonable, 100 bucks seemed like it would be fine, didnt know though if I would be sinking money into a dying technology.
 
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1258056 I was never able to get the problems fixed. Ram timings were always very confusing. The motherboard oc would work up to 2.8 ghz then my conputer wouldn't boot up.but the thread is around here somewhere. If you got any starting numbers for a q6600 oc I'd be willing to give it a try.
 
I've ran Crysis with 8800gts g92 SLI'd @ 1920x1200 and was getting on average 30-40 fps with everything on very high. However, it did occassionally dip below 30 fps. I played the game at 1600x1050 with everything on very high since it provided much smoother gameplay without sacrificing too much.

Here's a basic guide in configuring your 680i bios.

The guide is for dual core OC'ing, but has good information on many of the bios settings. It has lots of pics of actual bios pages so it is very easy to follow.

For various bios voltage settings for Q6600 that led to successful OC, check out this link.

Also, make sure you have a good CPU cooler before you start to OC as the Q6600 can get very hot.
