Under a SLI setup can you overclock the card just like normal with coolbits or is ther any special way to overclock SLI cards?
 
Coolbits should work.

You can only overclock your cards as high as the weakest card.

Example:

7800 GTX number 1 can do: 475/1240 by itself
7800 GTX number 2 can do: 465/1250 by itself

Which means both cards can run together at 465/1240.

So are you getting two GTXs?
If you do please post your 3DMark05 score, OC and driver here.

Not exactly true...

I have tested both of my 6800GT's individually and they both can do 425 1150 however the max in SLI I can pull off is 415 1080

One of the most important aspects in overclocking in an SLI setup is your PSU. Without some serious amps hitting the 12v rail which your vid cards are connected to, it won't matter if you have those hidden gems...
 
I have a 550w Antec Truepower 2.0 with dual 12v rails, should be good enough.
