__________________ You can you two PSU's but the PC Power I linked will easily run two 8800GTX. Also, my enermax galaxy 850W (its the same price as that BFG POS you linked) also has no difficulty running dual 8800gtx in SLI (I returned one of the gtx recently as I was having software issues with some games. I'll pick another one up when the drivers mature so its good you are waiting as well. The only thing that runs without issue on dual 8800gtx is futuremark benches... what a coincidence). I like the Zalman 9700 because it does the one thing that the Tuniq Tower and the Thermalright 120 (both slightly better coolers depending on the fan you use): It cools the VRM's around the cpu effectively. Tower HSF's don't. considering you will have to strip the heatpipes to mount aftermarket cooling, the VRM's will be exposed.

On the note of my last post, here is my new Swifttech MC21 Mosfet coolers mounted on the motherboard VRM's. Its like they are tailor made for this (They are actually designed to go on 8800GTX with water cooling).

They come pre-mounted with 3m thermal adhesive tape

I've removed the stock chipset coolers so I could apply some Arctic Silver 5 to replace the crap thermal compound that Asus use. I noticed that it had been poorly applied and is a right pain in the arse to remove. I spent quite some time useing alchohol on a cotton bud to remove it. This has helped my temperatures ever so slightly but I still intend to replace the chipset coolers next month. Roll on Uni grants!

Guys I made a stupid mistake and I can't recover from it. I changed my MCP Ref Clock to 300 instead of auto and I can't get the system to boot....just brings me to a black screen. Any chance that I can recover without bringing it into the shop?
