Hi guys, I gave that SLI hack a shot on my MIIF

Hardware used, Maximus II Formula / E8600 / 2x2 OCZ Reaper ver3 PC-8500 / XFX 9800GTX Black Edition

E8600 @ 450 4,05, 2x2 OCZ Reaper PC-8500 @ 1080 555 15 tRD 8 strong

Here´s how I did it.

1 - Install Win7 RC x64.
2 - Install System and 191.07 Win7 x64 (WHQL) drivers.
3 - Disable UAC.
4 - Restart.
5 - Run SLI String Installer v1.81 as Admin select ASUS certificate.
6 - Run HAL Mod 0.9a as Admin
7 - Copy moded nvlddmkm.sys (rev2) Win7 x64 to C:\windows\system32\drivers\
8 - Sign the nvlddmkm.sys with the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider, select "Sign a System File", type in C:\windows\system32\drivers\nvlddmkm.sys

EDIT: Update, there´s no need to do step 7 and 8

(Check out this for more info, Activating NVIDIA SLI on all motherboards, detailed HOW-TO )

Reboot, and we have a SLI capable system

That was it, pretty good scaling for a couple of old 9800GTX I most say

No problem, it´s out in the open, xDevs.com and techpowerup have made it in to the "The Overclocker magazine".
