Will there ever be a hacked bios or mod to enable SLi configurations on the crossfire only dual PCI-E slots? Has there ever been a successful mod of a crossfire board? I'd like to know because I'm trying to decide whether to spend my cash on a waterblock to OC my 8800GTS, or spend it on a second 8800GTS if SLi ever happens.

DFI Infinity P965-S SLi hack?
- Thread starter cerebrex
- Start date
There's always this for what it's worth. But it's not like the Ultra-D where it already had an SLI chipset and just needed to be turned on. P965 doesn't support SLI, and never will unless you go in there with an SEM tip and rearrange the circuitry.
650i = nVidia chipset =/= Intel P965
umm they are releasing a SLI version around july for thr 650i chipset

that completely misses the entire point
"hey is this motherboard ever going to be hacked for sli"
"this totally different motherboard which isn't out yet will"
wtf is that? seriously?

ummmmmm well do we see a motherboard listed in your Sig? No. Okay then asshole maybe I thought you were trying to decide on a board ie: the p965-s and maybe your hoping DFI will support SLI via an SLI hack cause your eyeing a DFI. Well I'm not sure if your too stupid to look around but 90% of posts around here lately have all been should I get this board or that board or whatever, I'm just giving you an easier option. So instead of being all WTf?! is that smug little e-tard yoiu can kiss my ass. How about you fill out your sig.

its only for up to the 7900series, no 8800
I wouldn't even bother with the driver hack for the 8800s...just slap a GTX in there. The driver method is unstable, and SLI on an SLI board usually has marginal gains if you're not running a 30" monitor with 2x(bleeding edge) in SLI, in which case your computer budget is already so high that you might as well spring for a motherboard that actually supports it. Also, the P965-s doesn't have enough PCI-E lanes to really exploit 2x8800GTX...there are much better motherboards for this. It's awesome for overclocking, but it's not for SLI/Crossfire.

It's in the title of the thread you tool. These stupid e-thugs are getting on my damn nerves, have some respect for fellow enthusiasts.

See Glow - these are useful replies.
I'll probably end up just switching over to a water cooled GTX when it's all said and done. I have a 22" widescreen, and I normally run 6x AA in games, so I am feeling the distant bottleneck of my video card, and it will become more evident as games rely more heavily on it.
For watercooling, you have two good options as I see it.
1) Get a GPU-only block (Fuzion, Swiftech) that does a better job on the memory in exchange for hoping the people that say ramsinks still do a good enough job on the 8800s are right. This has the advantage of letting you WC the GTS now, which may have good enough results that you decide switching to a GTX isn't worth it, and wait for an 8900 instead.
2) Wait to swap the card out until the Swiftech Stealth is released Sometime Very Soon.

I've already ordered the MCW60 - so I'm on my way already. I hope the ram sinks are as effective as people say they are - exactly as you mentioned. I wonder just how much airflow they are going to require.
