yeah you def need the vr, I start heaven at 1.4v let it climb to 1.43 in bench (test 9 or so) then keep tuning it down to 1.435v in bench (every 20 seconds or so it climbs to 1.45v lol)

Benching outdoors? Insulate the chil chip with a bit of eraser. I had to do this with a fussy R3E ES board when running in my benching chamber at around -25C. Works like a charm. Same issue guys were getting with boards plastered in eraser and the eraser chilling down the PCB and VRM contorller.

Al, you getting shutdown at 1.45v or just don't want it up there? I have some cards that won't tolerate more than 1.43 and some that will.

Chil, chil, chillin... I slapped a little heatsink on my R3E chil to warm it up.

With just a thin layer of vaseline on my 580 I can run fullpot all day long with just some frost building up on the backside of the PCB behind the GPU core.

nah It got up to 1.47v like twice and was still running. Just doesnt need it that high so I bring it down in hopes it will make her last longer

Got my voltage cap figured out. Thx again Steppie for the nice BIOS link.


Time to fill up the dewars.

.....and replace the dead card
