Trying to get hold of another 7970 this weekend for some 7970 CF action on LN2. Also got a 3930K but the EVGA mobo that I arranged has a faulty bios chip sadly, :(....might go with SB benching only....

seem like it errors out ever few min i am not sure why, i got a hybrid set up where i have the GTS450 running as PhysX and the 295 as the mains

Just try running one card you don't need PhysX on 06 :P what psu are you using ?



I got trouble also cf with the 3870's scores lower then not in cf wth

pretty sure it's the video card now...
since if i use my 450 screen it works fine


time for RMA

:trophy:

The golden chip!!!! :D

It's because you can't. Unless it's a XP-M, it's multi locked. You can go down in multi but not up.

@Dom. I thought you sold that chip?

THAT'S WHAY I THOUGHT ALSO BUT GUY DIDN'T RESPOND ANYMORE.... THEN HE ENDS UP POSTING A 6GHZ 2600K ON THE BOT :P

BUT THOSE WHERE MY LAST RUNS WITH IT :( TRADED IT FOR A 5.8 2600K, 2X 7970'S, 580 LIGHTING 3GB... GOING TO BE HERE SAT :)

Wow thats a sweet deal bro.

Rock it Dom ................ :thumbsup:

even if i go down it's still not letting me...
i think it may just be something wrong with the board i was using, cuz i got my other board out and it works fine now but too bad the thing ended

some moa prep work ;) saved profile just need Background for 32m and flick on the SS.

Chip is an absolute GEM check out the voltage pffff :) I guess after this last batch of 10 :X there was bound to be a good one huh?

wow Al! that's some killer stuff there!
what cooling was that under?

(is it just me or that's faster than the one you had before?)

this is fastest I have ever had and lowest volts.
SS from runmc purs like a kitten at -50c no real drop with such volts

460 points for 3 scores is not bad! wtf!

omg! grtz Al! man you gonna be kicking some real ass with it hehehe

Dude............

That is chip is a beast .......

Nice work bro :clapping:

YUMMIE!

So what should I do ?

Get a ASUS Maximus V Gene Z77 or wait for the Extreme?

My gig mb crapped out and I need a mb to bench now cuz I moved my other gene z z68 to my gamer/main rig....

hard to say dom, I would go ASUS or MSI because we can get good support either way atleast software wise. its nice to have shammy in your corner too though. maybe too soon to tell which asus board

Well I know I'm never getting another gigabyte... This is the 2nd time its done this for no reason

And I never used a msi before just been asus and gigabyte mb's

But then I saw this this moring Open Box: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z

I wanted to get a z77 and 3770k when they come out.... but is it just the cpu or mb that let's the 3rd gen ivy get high mem oc.....

im thinking the MSI Z77A-GD65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130643

since i got 3-7970 right now hmmmmmm

but i never used a msi mb before :ohcrap:

Youll love the MSI board! :thumbsup:

My P67 MSI is a great board!

On a personal note:
I'll be moving to my Sandy Bridge E in the next two weeks as I have the board and the memory, gonna sell a few things then pick up a new CPU :clapping:

help me pick one to oder tonight :)

MSI Z77A-GD65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130643

or

ASUS Maximus V Gene http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131830

but then im thinking i should wait till next week and see if anything else comes out cuz ill be out of town wed or thursday till next week... i hate waiting :P

just saw this http://www.evga.com/products/moreInf...%20Family&sw=5 :eek:

i saw the ftw da other day, idk it's pretty kool and all but the price is where it gets me

The asus gene z has the close PCI-E slots, no room between cards

pretty beastly card on stock cooler

showtime?

Oh boy. Now you're talkin. Where did you find the mod so soon?

Is that loop a jumper to short out the resistor a little below the pots?

Nice work :thumbsup:

I shudder to think of what that would look like if I had tried it :laughing:

Nice Allen :)

I need to take out the iron to mod my older cards but you make it look easy :laughing:

thanks men, mods are kinda on kingpincooling but it was kinda hard to understand and interpret them.

Maad yep, thats a short loop, there are 2 on the front of the card as well :D
