These Classies are excellent on air/water cooling. Haven't seen any other brand match their clocks on ambient temps.

Sorry, but that looks like a bugged Nature subtest.

Geometric and shader domains run at different frequencies. You can control that with the delta value in bios, so you need to edit the bios and reflash. ROP domain also works at the shader domain frequency. Basically the geometric delta value in bios determines what would be the difference bewteen geometric domain freq and shader/ROP. What you set in e.g. RivaTuner is your shader/ROP, then Geometric domain clock is that X freq + delta value in MHz. For 7900GTX normally it is 40MHz, I think, but not sure about 7950GT. So if you hit the limit of your geometric domain, you can decrease the delta. That would allow higher ROP/shader frequency at the same geometric clock.

Dino, ES is not allowed in competitions. I'm afraid you need to bench again with retail cpu. And yeah, bring back the good old logo, this one is too generic.

The one I tried for the team cup had a bad CBB, so I don't think LN2 will help much if all are like it. Plus it didn't raise the max stable bclk frequency, so I ended up running it on air. It was with an external VGA though, so it might make some difference.

Based on the submission id's fgi should be first, but everything will be 100% sure after the official log. Just like in the previous stages.

That platform supports only single channel.

I've just removed front cover and disconnected the probe which goes to the water tank, then connected another standard sensor to the controller.

Coolant is distilled water and antifreeze, the chiller is a modded Hailea, so it can run at 100% all the time, but it is a rather weak unit. I don't know the exact temperature of the coolant, because I don't have a probe in the loop. It's below zero when idle, but not much, I think. Not even close to SS temps. The original controller allows temperature down to 4C, but I have attached an external sensor to fool the controller that it never reaches the desired temp, thus running at full speed all the time.

So you admit that you do it just for the global points? I see a controversy in your post. You say "all for a bit of fun" at first, but then "What's the point?". What stops you now? As I see it - the lack of global points .

I'm in Extreme, yes. I just can't afford so much LN2 for all these cards, so I'm going to bench with SS on cpu and chiller on VGA's, or switch them for some of the benches. It's not ideal solution, but still not bad and with a good card I would be able to get into top-3 or top-5 in some categories.

Made some photos if that helps. http://imgur.com/a/yQILh#0

Short resistor between ILIM and ROSC.

Hi, Recently I've started to use my water chiller and plan to bench all my VGAs from popular models like 4850, 4870, 4890, GTX280, GTX275, 8800GT, 8800GTS, etc. With a HD4850 at 1.6V and gpu at 1050+, the idle temperature is about -5 at max (according to VGA sensor) and with heavy load goes a little above 0. With a non-modded GTX970 @ 1610 it goes up to 6C. Just to give you an idea about usual temps. Currently I have the cooling type set to H2O. Is this the correct category or does TEC seem better? Although it's not a TEC.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately this card has the "3DM03 performance bug", so I will have to bench with another one. 2 out of 4 are buggy.

Could you enable the old competition pages too? Just like the Gigabyte Target OC is available in both variants. I don't think it's a good idea to beta-test the new site with the CountryCup. Navigation on the new site is not intuitive at all.

Yes. VGPU was ~1.6V here, but it's a chiller, not a normal water cooling.

A whole day. Got it just when I was going to give up for the day. It was Tuesday, I think.

This is not just the allowed hardware, it is the required hardware, which means your country have to provide a score with every single VGA listed there. So you actually want to add yet another card(s) in the requirements for the total of 6+ scores in stage 3? Why?

Where's the screenshot?

3. Sealed or closed boxes are not allowed. You have to show the item itself on the picture. It seems you have to get all 19 radeons and other stuff out of their boxes Ban him

AMD 1090T + GTX580, but score varies a lot here too.

Yes, exact score.

Well, my graphics score is even higher, but I have lower GT1 than yours and it is somehow comparable with Calathea's GT1 given the clocks used. Other GTs are higher. What does it depend on? Perhaps Win8? http://hwbot.org/submission/2647679_i.nfrar.ed_3dmark11___performance_geforce_gtx_970_17381_marks Of course my overall score is lower, due to the cpu .
