Ok so I have two 8800GTS 640mb, both EVGA but the one I am currently using is the ACS3 version, the other is just a standard EVGA 8800GTS.

So ok I have EVGA 680i board, an E6600 OC'd to 3.2Ghz, 4x1GB 800DDR2, and a PC Power and Cooling 610w Silencer.

I've never done SLI, and frankily with my 8800GTS ACS3 OC even more beyond the stock OC I don't really need too. The question rather is, can I with my PSU have enough power(I'm pretty sure I do) and do I need to make the clocks the same on both cards somehow? I use Rivatuner to OC the card I have now, but maybe I need to Underclock it to the default original card speeds, or perhaps OC the default card to the OC'd card?

You get what I'm asking right? And I have an SLI bridge somewhere....So yeah what do you think?
 
That PSU should be able to handle two GTS boards adequately. The large, single rail design of the 610 makes it ideal for this.

You don't need to manually adjust the clock speeds of your cards to run them in SLI mode, but be aware that when you switch to SLI mode the cards will automatically run at the stock speed of the slower card.
 
Ahh thanks, thats something I didn't know about SLI and essentially answers my question. Thanks a lot. :)
