Xtreme Addict

Yes you are right, I don't know what people like Joanna are doing at home and I don't care about it, cause everyone should have his owny privacy. But HWBOT account was an example, there are many other things which define overclocker. I simply don't believe (and I guess nobody does) that she is overclocking privately at home, actively and so on

So I finally managed to enter elite Titan Zombie club (4th person who modded Titan if I am correct) and I want to share my experience. My card was 100% working before modding, so I had a lot to lose, that's why I tried to do everything very carefully. This guide and my mod wouldn't exist without EVGA support. Ronaldo (rbuass) also helped me a lot and my mod was based on his experience. STEP 1 Prepare a good SOLDERING STATION DESK STEP 2 Prepare your EPOWER It's better to connect all POSITIVE (+) soldering pads cause it will be easier to solder it directly to Titant's PCB STEP 3 Remove chokes from your Titan (6 pieces) STEP 4 - MOST DANGEROUS AND HARD You need to disable "Alert" connection, PIN 2 of NCP 4206 controller Typical scheme for ON SEMICONDUCTOR controlers: And here on PCB Trace from Pin 2 has 2 millimetres long and it goes inside PCB. Be sure not to cut other traces. It's the most hard part. I could barely see it through magnifier. STEP 5 As we are going to use stock VDIMM VRM, we need a VMOD for it STEP 6 The same with VPLL MOD STEP 6 Measure points: For VDIMM and VGPU: For VPLL: STEP 7 THERMAL SHUTDOWN MOD STEP 8 Soldering Epower POSITIVE (+) NEGATIVE (-/GND) My mod looks like: Final step - checking if it's ALIVE! Soon I will do some strong LN2 results and update this guide with adding some extra capacitors for GPU & MEM. Enjoy and have fun!

Awesome

@ryba Firstly, you need to qualify and sorry, but Joanna is not an overclocker. Why? - she has never done any result ALONE, doesn't have hwbot account and so on, doesn't create OC topics and so on. The ability of pouring LN2 into pots doesn't mean that she is an overclocker. I will push Asus Titan to the limits, but I will not take part in AOOC qualifier, as Dusan (Perica Barii) and I are seeded to the final in Moscow I wish everyone good luck, I hope to see a lot of friends in Moscow! I will do a guide how to ZOMBIE Titan to push it to the limits in AOOC! Maybe it will help someone

Are you ready for more of zombie Titan's during AOOC qualifier?

@ Phil - I guess not @ Allen - I think it's for residents, but it would be great if there was such possibility

I really like this rule about no girlfriends. It was what few ocers told a lot of times. Such events are the greatest thing for ocers, greatest reward and bonus from their hobby/passion, and it hurt eyes when some ocers took girlfriends for MOA/GOOC, which were not interested in OC and wanted to end it as fast as it's possible and start sight seeing the city or go to a club to dance. For girls such events were only a trip to exotic place and live OC contest was an unpleasant duty/price which they had to pay to have some fun in foreign country... It's much more better to take to a team other ocer, even not the best, but ocer (for whom it would be a great fun) who can help the other ocer. Different ideas, two heads are not a one head

Good rules

I am still trying to organize HD5870... :D:D Hard to buy any in Poland cause all of those bitcoins diggers lol

Go for more

haha you made my day good luck with repairing gpu

You have burnt mosfet and now it makes a short. You can remove it and maybe GPU will start to work. If PCB didn't melt (traces inside PCB) and nothing more died, there is a chance you can replace it, but if you don't even know what the part is called, I think you don't have soldering skills or tools to do it

Not on Asrock 1.95v :D

Awesome Allen

You have to remember that this event is organized by Asus Russia and Asus Ukraine, local one. It's great that Asus gave budget to extend it for whole Europe. It's a big progress! I hope that next year there will be a global Asus contest like MOA But the great information is that when other vendors cut budget/cancel events, Asus goes the opposite way

Qualifier should be more popular this year

Awesome

Awesome efficiency

Change PCIE slot or change board. Make sure you force 2.0 or 3.0 generation I and Perica had the same issue on M5E during AOOC. PCIE generation was 1.0 despite the fact forcing 2.0/3.0 in bios, sometimes it changed during restarts to 2.0/3.0 and we had normal efficiency

Awesome

Good job Mike

Awesome job Allen

Powered by Dragon? It would be great if MSI could tweak a bit board & bios for mem clocking

It's normal GD65 + Killer E2200 + Soundblaster emulation technology+ fancy colour (but I preferred original colours despite the fact that I really like a dragon). Nothing to test or add. It's a very well known board. Good for gamers & OC 24/7, not good for LN2 (MOA 2012 death toll). You can only check if Killer E2200 really helps in multiplayer games
