We have the opportunity to check out how the EVGA X58 SLI FTW board overclocks using the E-LEET Tune utility. Basically this tool allows you to tweak QPI and PCIE frequency as well as CPU multiplier real-time within the OS. Another neat feature is the voltage tweaking options which is soon to be revealed. With the tool, we can easily overclock the Core i7 965 to 3.8GHz @ 20X multiplier and 190MHz base clock. EVGA is still tweaking the BIOS so we can expect more headroom on base clock in time to come.
