Hi guys I recently upgraded into a new case with an h50 water cooler and dropped my GTX 280 for two GTX 460 SE's in SLI. I have a Core 2 Quad Q8400 running at 3.0ghz from 2.66 at a nice 50C under load. I cannot get my Q8400 stable and over 3.0, even though it never heats past 55C. It is an absolute bastard to overclock.
Anyway, is my Quad bottlenecking my 460s? I ran 3D Mark 11 on my room mates PC (i7 930 @ 3.7, single card GTX 470) and it doubled my machines score. Am I correct in assuming my Q8400 needs to be upgraded soon?
