Just ordered my second 8800GTX...

[new@this]

OK my specs

680i evga mobo
evga8800GTX
c2d e6600
2gb patriot extreme ddr2 800
cmstacker830

I am running the e660 @ 2.8 on stock cooling, however with my newegg order of my second evga 8800GTX I also bought a ZEROtherm Nirvana NV120 and 3 Scythe SFLEX 120mm case fans.

My question is, will adding the fans and the new CPU cooling enable me to push my Conroe e6600 to 3.4 GHz?

And, more importantly, will this CPU bottleneck my SLI 8800GTX's?

Thanks for a response, I am new at this but Im learning fast thanks to this site, much better than Toms.

that 6600 should run @ 3ghz on stock, or most do.

better cooling will, well, should, allow higher clocks as many need to addmore volts to get a higher OC and it is those volts that add the most heat.

I have the same CPU as you and am running it at 3 ghz right now, I also have a SLI GTX setup (630/1015), and when I run the Crysis benchmark I get about the same fps on 1920x1200 all medium as the GX2, however with the GTX SLI when I run it at 1920x1200 all high I am 41% faster than the GX2 (using the numbers from the guru3d review). Your processor wont bottleneck your setup, you will enjoy it.
