    LN2 Cooling Gear: who, what, where?

    in Extreme overclocking

    Posted

    That list should tell, which products are mass produced and sold continuously.

    Now it is just random list of prototypes and one sample products.

     

    As far as I know, there is only Kingpin, me, ryba and ln2cooling.com who sell pots all the time and do it more professional way.

     

    I might be wrong of course.

    GTX580 Matrix Extreme OC: first session at Assembly

    in Nvidia GPU Overclocking

    Posted

    On my side I use Arctic Silver Ceramique

     

    10€ for 22 grams :)

     

    Don't curse in public forums. That stuff is good for poisoning plants, but never use it with latest VGA's + Ln2 :)

    Gelid Extreme is the stuff you need and all the rest is crap.

    Freeze / frostbyte is last year stuff now, when we have something better.

     

    Thank's Massman for the coldslow bios !!!

     

    I still have problems with my Matrix . I can bench now with -130 degree but still some time i get some artefacts. Then i have to warm up the pot to -40 and reboot the system . After this i can go to -130 again .

     

    Is this card retail or press sample? If press sample, get retail. Some old cards was not completely final and there might be some issues. Retails have all done 1500+ and I have tested 5 of them.

     

    Do you have the firmware updated? If you have constant memory voltage around 2.0V you can go a lot lower in temperature. Use high memory clocks too (1300MHz+)

    Constant core voltage is mandatory for lazy benching.

     

    If you have those but still get artifacts, your thermal paste cracks and you loose good contact. Then you will not be able to do high clocks and will have artifacts with "low" clocks.

     

    My guess is the memory cold issues.

    Tested 4 Matrix cards during this weekend. All these new cards are doing 1550+ core and 1350MHz memory, so these will be suitable for 4-way attempts.

    I am not sure what went that badly wrong week a go, when elmor and I tried these cards in assembly summer 2011 event.

     

    Great cards for sure. Now I just need to get correct platform for single GPU runs.

    Testbed was x58 based and scores are not good. Best score was 11699.

     

    I did some ln2 pictures:

    I will try SLI action during next week and next weekend I will propably try 4-way, if everything goes like planned.

    OC test results of twenty (20!) RETAIL MSI GTX 580 Lightnings ...

    Good thread. You guys are so lucky :) I hope you had a chance to select few of the best ones for Ln2 testing?

    It would be very cool to see same cards tested at fixed settings and then with max oc.

     

    If possible test like -100C and see how the cards are doing and then max oc. We should see some greater differences between those cards.

     

    Yes, I know you can not do it, but I was dreaming anyway.

     

    And with amount of binning we are like this nowadays :)

    Some AMD Llano fun :) IGP + 2D

    in Llano OC

    Posted

    Ok, found the issue I got here. My HyperX memory is not making good cooperation with this setup.I can not get my memory as high as xoqolatl and that's why I am so far behind :) Well, I can live with that.

     

    I pushed the rest out of this chip. Llano is not for extreme overclocking as we all know, but still it managed to get over 5GHz.

     

    Here are the screens:

     

    CPU-Z (5278MHz 182*29)

    Now this setup can rest in some HTPC.

    Let's race in 3dm11 :)

    Haha..can someone really start to compete in IGP category.. I can not, that is for sure.

     

    But, can you provide a link to futuremark, cause I need to see which graphics driver you used?

    The latest hotfix 11.7 driver was slow,so you propably used the pre release driver.

     

    3DM11 is so freaking long test with IGP :)
