Not a great clocking card. Mem sucks. Leads mod is done, will vmod as soon as vrs get here.

Gotta love the 8K series

Nice work OCM ................ :thumbsup:

This card has super duper ram but a very limited core. No amount of voltage would get me past a 860mhz wall. Not sure why.

BTW, thanks WD. I'm having a blast :thumbsup:

damn bro that 3870 has nice ram! mine maxes nowhere near that!

SF3d flushed out my backup in heaven 2316 :D Just between us though I have run the card at 1338 on the mem through heaven easily which should be a nice boost :X

SHES MAD :laughing: DID TWO RUNS TESTING OUT VMODS BOTH ON STOCK COOLER :P

Very nice card. Couldn't find a vgpu mod documented anywhere so I made and educated guess. I'm happy it worked out. :)

Waiting on vrs for 4870x2 and 8600gt. 7600gt was doa and sending back to seller for refund. 5.6ghz 2600k on the way :D

Bench on brothas :thumbsup:

Blimey OCM, the amount of time/money you're putting into this is mental!
Keep it up! :D

Time yes, I've been giving a month off work due to knee surgery. Planed ahead and, over time, collected as many good bointing cheap gpus of ebay to pass the time off here at home. Soon all will be resold having left a minimal dent on my pocket ;)

Once you get into the buying/selling game it isn't all that bad money wise.

I know what you mean, went through quite a few s775 chips over the summer by buying/selling.
It's just the rate you get through them that surprises me :P

more heaven this morning :) 2398! I wanted 2400 very badly but it seems I will need to do OCP mod

The directCU II really does seem the only way to go when buying a new 580. Thankfully it's the one time where the UK isn't ripped off as much as normal.
Any pics of your session? :)

nope! top secret ;) jk I need to start taking some pics in vid your right

nope! top secret ;) jk I need to start taking some pics ann vid your right

Haha, don't want anyone to see you 'special' tweaks? :p
btw, what's the best version of 7/xp/vista?
Currently using tinyxx, bu am tempted by benchzowners ones?
What do the 'big boys' (yourself included ofcourse!) use?

I just use retail 7 ultimate for x32 and x64. I dont even disable any services :X. For XP I use tinyXP rev09

Haha really?
Fair enough, and I need to try and find tinyxp rev09/10 again.
Lost them, and having already been banned once for using torrents, need to find them again somewhere else so I won't get caught :p

I'm at uni and they can see all traffic, hence why I got caught once, don't want to get caught again and get a permanent ban

wow sounds strict, gotta get someone to rename the iso and zip is so its like stormfamilyphotos.zip

Im blessed :D

990x and 2 more asus Direct CU 580's. I ONLY have 2 pots so will run tri on air, think most benchies will be limited to cpu so hope its a good one :thumbsup:

Cards with mods on cold air and these monster coolers I hope to hit 1050/1250 no problem :) what its good for boints wise im not sure

I have an extra slim here with your name on it that I won't be using in the foreseeable future.

Just say the word, bro.

Thats so funny.

I pay for TV and then just Download the shows I want to watch anyway! So htey can stick it in their Bum.

Most of the torrenting I did was for films that we have (but are at home as the family didn't want me taking them all)
Or TV shows that are on in the US (so either I can watch them early, or just watch them at all if they aren't going to be shown in the UK)

i hate u :)

go get u some more gold bro and save a ss to make them mad again :rofl

Wow must be nice.

how are you going to fit three three slot cards on a board :Dizzy:

The air coolers are 3 slot, once you remove the cooler, they are same as any other card

he said his going to run tri on air that cant be done lol

PCIE risers/extenders. But you still have to get creative with the usually rigid tri-SLI bridge.

dont worry Ive got it under control :thumbsup:

Nickshih just dropped a ton of scores on an unreleased motherboard lol! why did I have to wait 2 months for my xeon to release!$@#?

Saw them, pretty mental!
