| Why did you get a sli mobo with an ati card? Are you planing to get a couple of G80 cards later. If not then i would have gone with an asus p5w-d for crossfire. Not saying it won't work but crossfire on a sli mobo will limit its preformance. Other then that, sweet computer  . You should get a nice oc out of that e6400 w/ zalman 9500 (make sure to use some as5).

| looking good. I got my e6600 at 8x425 w/ my zalman. See if you can get to 3.4ghz too , and if 60*c load temps don't bother you then you can prob get 3.6ghz with 8x450 . I had it at 3.6ghz but it was too hot for my liking, but as long as you keep load temps under 60*c then your fine. Just don't go over 70*c if you get pushy  , although one guy had his e6600 at 80*c for a while and it didn't hurt it at least not in preformance, maybe life span though .
