I am running Dual 6600GTs in SLI. My system is: AMD A64 3700+ San Diego, ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, Corsair XMS PC3200 2x 512, 2*XFX 6600GT with Forceware 81.98 drivers

I am experiencing problems with successful dual overclocking. I am using Coolbits, and have it set to 560MHz(from 500MHz) and 1.14GHz(from 1.0GHz). I ran 3dMark with a successful increase in score. I have no problems like artifacting. However when checking temperatures to see how well they fair after the overclocl, only GPU1 showed significant temperature change. This leads me to believe that Coolbits is only overclocking just my first card.

My question is this: are my cards both successfully overclocked and just GPU1 is taking more load or is just my GPU1 overclocked and GPU2 is remaining stock?

GPU1 in SLI is the main card for Rendering, and is the card the data gets sent out on (since the plug is on it). My SLI does the same, GPU1 will be hotter than GPU2 because it is more active.
