9600GT SLI cooling options - Page 3 - Overclock.net

Just a fair warning. I dunno if you already heard about this, but 9600GT don't like being voltmodded due to aggressive hardware overcurrent protection.

I haven't seen any workarounds for this except use certain non-reference cards. It's a shame because if not for that, 9600GT could clock to the moon.

The VF-900 and equivalent Fatal1ty version will make the card take up 3 slots of space. It should be fine given the huge spacing on that P5N-E, just don't expect to use any other expansion cards with them installed.

*crosses fingers that OP has EVGA cards*

EVGA Voltage Tuner FTW

Two slots (I had one), does it look like 3 slots are used.

sweet good to know.

i won't have cards between the 2.

and about the vmod
i know what your talking about
but i guess theres a way to vmod while bypassing the OVP and whatnot
its an EVGA card but no evga voltage tuning on non gt200 cards
(i messed with gx2 software vmodding, it works in rivatuner)

you could always do a BIOS flash to factory overclock editions, they usually have a little more juice thrown their way.

I recall mine obstructing a 3rd slot. It's like a few millimeters enough to cause trouble.
