I think people give up easy first time after to bench a X79 GD65...lol

I did try and try to improve the results, ... , I really never used a motherboard like this... zilions of issues with 2 identical boards (X79 GD65)... and put RAM...remove RAM...put VGA...remove VGA... put RAM... remove RAM... remove CPU... put CPU... and finally... the motherboard is death... I don't know if is to laugh or to cry...lol

about what I saw from your Lightning...It is able to go to crazy clocks ;_

Hi Splave...regardless you are my competitor ATM...please share the bios if you have one ... I think you will keep your place in TW for sure.

Here the same... red screens...

Congratulations.

Bom ver vc de volta aos benchs....ainda mais com uma Lightning

I have same issues here...red screen after red screen...

Submitted before the Z68 GD65 kill my chip running SPi32. The result of 03 was good, but not enough if I can not fly high the 3DMArk11. P.S. not enemy Me4me... I am only trying to hold one of the 3 places to MOA...

Oh man...don't kill this chip with Wprime...go to AM3, 03, 05, 06, 01 and it can fly high...

14K???...I think you typed wrong....15K is possible to you

Splave is a serious candidate to Taiwan... I worked hard to get a good 3DMark11, but I really had lots of problems with my X79 GD65... Its no more working...

Boa Jaime...feliz de ver vc de volta. Abraxxxx

Good job friend.... strong result and nice efficiency to a MSI MB.

Not so good... My old reference HD 7970 got 14979 Marks at 3DM11 with more than 100 Mhz less at CPU (clocking @1690/1980 Mhz). I noticed reference cards still doing best clocks than the Lightnings, at least if you do not get a cherry card. I don't see good RAMs in the Lightnings too...regardless is not linked GPU.

50K meu...ta ficando fera É a VGA que não funcionava????

Thanks Saint19; I hope I got a good Lightning...

Splave's 200K 03 hold 1st place...lol P.S. We tested a Lightning but was not good....impossible to try MOA Limited to 1600...1610 mhz and bad RAMs.

1700???...1700 was a good card... the place is your with 1700 Mhz

I can not forget the effort to my friends from Team that will fight to try to hold a place in MOA. Schenkel Bros (Jacson and Cleiton) and Gnidaol. They are all working hard..and they're really great overclockers, and many more than overclockers... very good friends. http://www.hardwarebr.com/forum/showthread.php?5313-Mega-Evento-de-Overclocking-Extremo-dia-21-04-2012/page14 Bench sessions at last saturday....was amazing

Not easy to hold a place, cause we have lots of great overclockers fighting. You can be sure I hope to see you there friend...almost sure OCA guys will represent USA there. I am not sure the official BIOS from this GTX680 will work well at sub-zero...and not sure the Afterburner or EVGA Precision can give me good clocks (if the card agree to fly high... lol)

Yea... I have no good weapons ATM, and the only I found was a GTX 680. It just ready to combat, but still not tested at LN2 (waiting next recharge). Hardmodded by rbuass and schenckel bros Thanks to TiN to share the mods (with a lit bit more spicy caps and chokes). I hope the card cen be near KP and TiN results...lol

Lightning is not warranty to get a good chip... My best card reached about 1700 Mhz 3DM11 (I killed because it has a crap PWM easy to kill)... Lightning we tested can not go neither near this clock (crap chip)... Will test GTX 680 + Epower, but afraid I have no software to increase the clocks and good BIOS to NGTX680. Hard times to hold a place ... lol

Lol...I can change a sealed HD 7970 Lightning against 3930K @ 57XX Mhz... who wanna change...lol

Good job Andre
