Price update: 720€ Also cleaned and restored the 580 Classies and will test them shortly.

@Fasttrack Yea I will, thank you for your interest. @Gawl86 The pricing on those is difficult. I gotta go by what I find in the HWBot marketplace - there are 2 aircooled ones at 150€ each on sale right now. That seems a bit high to me so I'd say 100€/card for my Hydro Coppers? I hope that's somewhat in the ballpark. So with about 20€ shipping in mind, I could offer you 210€ including shipping for both Classies. Either way, I know that also depends on overclockability, condition etc. I don't have the original packaging or accessories for them. I know that last time I tested them in SLI, I had good performance but there also was some kind of flickering going on. Probably just driver error or a bad SLI bridge but I'm definitely going to test that again before selling them. In terms of OC potential, I sifted through my 3D Mark results and found this run:https://www.3dmark.com/fs/10579457. So that's them running at 1013/1100 in SLI. Can't remember the exact voltage but I didn't go crazy on them. Maybe something around 1,3V. I also have a MSI GTX580 Lightning XE 3GB that needed less voltage for 1000MHz if you're interested (I only tested the classies in SLI though). The cards work well in 3-way-SLI, too. At 900MHz, it maxed out my PSU pretty quickly though lol (1100W+). It had a pretty good chip iirc - if you want, I can test it again. I could offer you 75€ for that one or 275€ including shipping if you take all three of them.

Hey guys, gonna have to let my trusty 1080Ti Lightning go. The card comes from BenchBros in Germany and was benched on LN2 with black electrical tape insulation once - in SLI with another card. It did around 2.4GHz iirc. But for the past year, it ran in my gaming PC on watercooling flawlessly. (Mostly ran on 2012MHz@0,975V or around that mark, but you can crank it up past 2,1GHz if you really want. Memory speeds on these Lightnings are also really amazing, I can easily run +500 24/7 and I think I stopped trying on +700 or so.) --> New OC results below. It really just was my daily driver and I never benched it. Insulation and shunt mod are still on the card if someone wants to do LN2 again. I retested it on water and the card runs 2152/1600+ through FSX (that's +850 Mem). FSU works as well, but it downclocks due to power target there. Mem not pushed further. Runs: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/18761479, https://www.3dmark.com/fs/18761528 Comes with all original accessories, packaging and cooler, like a retail card, but without warranty obviously.

I usually have two 120mm fans on the card to keep the mems nice and cool, too. I'm also selling (officially now :D) my two GTX580 Classified Hydros. I originally bought them as a collectors item and they were never benched or even used in the last 2-3 years. I tested them once in SLI and that was about it. I cleaned them, restored them and they're good to go. Both do around 1015/2030/1150 in FSX on stock voltages (voltage tool doesn't work on Win10 for me). That's 1.175V and 1.15V respectively. ASIC's are 72,9% and 85,1%. Both have the Ultra BIOS with 900/1800/1053MHz default clocks on them. Price: 100€/card Also selling my GTX580 Lightning XE. I haven't retested it yet but it needed even less voltage for 1GHz than the Classys if I recall correctly. Worked 100% last time I tested it and also runs well in Triple SLI with the Classys. On 900MHz core in Triple SLI I had a power draw of around 1150W though, so be sure your PSU can handle it before you go to town Price: 75€ All sold to Gawl86. I ship from Germany with DHL. Shipping prices within Germany are 7€ and around 15-20€ in Europe. I would prefer to sell these cards inside of the EU so both parties don't have to deal with import taxes, customs, fees etc. PayPal fees are bad enough, an international buyer would have to overpay around 8-10% only for me to get the full money on my end.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! :) Yea, binned 7600K still rocks for legacy 3d :D

I did beforehand, else I wouldn't have made this request. I would take a pic but I don't want to dismount the cooler again just for this.

I'm happy to enter it in another, existing category if there is one that fits. Other than that, no idea, I got it in a box off ebay with a lot of other random, untested cards. I'm pretty sure it's just an OEM card though that was never sold on its own. Thanks a lot! Now I can submit my scores there. I would have liked the competition of the 192 shader category (which is packed) but it's not really a fair fight with only 144.

Hello HWBot team, I got this OEM MSI GTS450 with a GF106 core and 128 bit interface. However it only has 144 shaders opposed to the default 192. It also only features 512MB of GDDR5 memory. I don't know if this justifies a new category but I thought I'd give it a try before bricking the card trying to unlock shaders or something. Default clockspeed 03 run with GPUZ screenshot: Pics of the card:

Have seen mobos go for around 175-200€, however that was before the BIOS update for 8700K was released. That makes it worth quite a bit more imo because that's (as far as I know) the only way to bench a 8700K on WinXP.

Thanks guys! :)

Unfortunately for you GPUPI 3.3 got banned again on HWBot :(

Can you tell us the ICs that are used on the card? Hard to help you without knowing which controllers are on there.

Thanks :) It's getting too warm outside, I can't get the chip higher than this on chilled water. Card needs more cold.

That's strong! Does the GPU just not like higher voltage than 1.45V or did you just do the picture before cranking it up to ludicrous speed?

Thanks bro Unfortunately only Hynix Mem on this card, but great practice, and great points on top.

Does anyone know what components are getting overclocked on the C6H when you increase REFCLK? What else is still connected to that bus?

Some memes create themselves

The subtimings depend on the memory ratio you set. With 2933MHz you get trc 69 and with 3200MHz trc is 74. Other than that, there is no way to control them at the moment.

ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero Extreme Overclocking Guide (Updated to v0.5) - Overclocking.Guide PCI-E Clock is only the same as REFCLK for up to 104.85MHz I believe. After that, the REFCLK gets decoupled from the rest of the bus so that you can run 140MHZ+ REF and still have your USB ports, graphics card and ssds working (which get their 100MHz freq from another source then). Hope I explained this correctly.

If the settings are still there after you pulled the battery out for 30mins I'm sure you didn't unplug the PSU, right?

With 1001, I can now use 3200MHz@104,8MHz BCLK for 3350MHz memory clock and PCI-E 3.0 support. Great Max is about 3550 CL14@1,45V. Higher clocks don't work for me, no ratio can boot my sticks 3600MHz+, no matter the voltage or latencies. I'm satisfied, just throwing it out there. Might be the max of the memory, idk.

I'm going to try to update to 1001 again now. @nvidiaforever2: I came across this aswell, I always got memory or timing error (0d, F9). Sometimes it cycled through F9 a few times, sometimes it didn't boot at all.

Nope, this is with 0902 again. I could try to reflash 1001 if you want - as long as you take responsibility if it bricks again

I got the system to post again, writing you a little documentation of what happened now. Will edit this below. 1. I downloaded the 1001 BIOS via your link on to my USB stick. It's actually a SD-card with a USB-adapter in one piece, don't know if that may be important - previous updates worked with it though. 2. I quickformated it FAT32, put the file onto it and rebooted my PC. There was more stuff on there, like previous BIOS versions and a XP installer. 3. Entered EZ Flash in the BIOS and selected 1001. Nothing special, it flashed as usual, took about 30 seconds or so. "Update successful, restarting.." or something. 4. "07" error and no Post. The first two times I tried BIOS Flashback it didn't work, maybe the file was corrupted or something, it only flashed about 4-5 times and went to continuous blue. No flash happened (this was with 0902 btw). I then redownloaded the file and tried the whole thing again. Then it flashed for much longer and in the end went out instead of full blue. Then I could restart my PC again and complete POST. HOWEVER: The system doesn't recognize any kind of boot manager at the moment. All the HDDs, SSDs, sticks etc. show up and I can boot from my stick (there's a win10 installer on there). My M.2 SSD doesn't work though albeit showing up under drives. I will see if I get that fixed. It might be my bad, the windows install might have put the bootloader onto my USB Stick for some reason - that I formatted for the BIOS flashback. I edited the bootloader with EasyBCD from another OS and got my M2 working again.

Clear cmos didn't help, I'm gonna try flashback I guess. Edit: Doesn't work either, I got a Fat32 stick with 0902 bios named "C6H.cap" in the root directory, correct usb port. Pressing the button when system is off, nothing happens, doesn't light up or flash or anything. System still boots to 07. Gonna try another stick. With this stick it seems to work, I keep u updated. Flashback did this: Button blinking for a few seconds, then continuous light. I started the PC but same behavior: Booting to 07 and no picture on the screen.
