Bios question

[pajama]

I have read everything and I can't find this. I hope somebody knows, I have a EVGA 780i mobo and in the Bios one of the parameters is:
SLI-Ready Memory - it has the following options
- Disabled
- CPUOC 0%
- CPUOC 1%
- CPUOC 2%
- CPUOC 3%
- CPUOC 4%
- CPUOC 5%
- CPUOC MAX

Which one should I choose and what does it mean?

i beleive that stands for cpu overclock, thats going up in incriments pick one and watch the stuff in the bios it should automaticall bump it up before you save it so youc an see at which it would be running at, now remember heat wise, dont go crazy with ocing unless you comp can handle, i coudl also be completly wrong seeing i dont have any exsperience with that

I already have overclocked my system and the SLI-Ready Memory is disabled. If I pick one of the options does it overclock my system even more?

my only guess and im not completly sure, was it sounds like it would, i think it will incrase your sli memory read, i wouldnt do it without doing a lil research on it, research is alot cheaper then buying new parts

If you are already manually OC'ing your CPU and/or memory, just leave the "SLI-Ready Memory" option set to disabled.

With the proper SLI-Ready/EPP memory sticks and Nvidia chipset motherboard, you can use this "SLI-Ready Memory" option to make OC'ing a bit easier for first timers.

Using the various "CPUOC" variables will OC your CPU by the amount selected, while using the higher performance EPP values read from your memory stick's SPDs.

The only problem with using the "SLI-Ready Memory" option is that you may lose control over specific aspects of your OC, like the CPU voltage, FSB, memory speed and timings. The motherboard also may give too much CPU voltage or not enough, to run at the CPU speed it's trying for.

Superb

Thank you very much. That explains it all.
