Did you test incerting the SLI string by Hex editing your *.DAT file, and patch your registry with it?

This is my case.
Though it shows "SLI string was injected successfully" ,there is no SLI effect after Reboot. this is my "temp0"

The SLi string is incerted, now you need to patch the registry.

step 4 http://xdevs.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.30

As you are using the Gigabyte certificate you should use HAL mod
Click to expand...

After load the modified DSDT table in the computer's registry. in the command prompt window, type asl /loadtable DSDT.asl -v,and reboot,SLI become enable.it also showed "X58" in CPUZ by useing MOD HAL.DLL,but it seemed unsuccessfull.
3DMARK06's score is just up a little

In the first SS you show an observation about incorrect path, what you mean, is not the path for you ACPI table in your registry?

If you up a little more your CPU speed you will see bether performance from your "new" SLI

It is said that the correct registry path is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\ACPI\DSDT\A1007\A1007 001\00000001” .and in the main key "00000000” when you work "asl /loadtable DSDT.asl -v"
The correct information in windows "device Manager " shoud be the picture says (the red words) .otherwise one's mod is fail.
