  1. This generation doesn't scale well at ambient temps. All of the modding in the world wont gain you much if you are still running ambient temps. If the goal is to bench the card, I would work on obtaining some variant of sub-ambient cooling first, then go for all the hard mods. Good luck, cheers!
  2. Bump for a very trustworthy person!
  3. Yep, this is a very good point! Staggered GPU's would have been nice...
  4. Go get your ready made CPU isolation stickers here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CPU-Pin-Insulation-Sticker-I5-for-LGA1151-I5-8400-8500-8600K-I7-8700-8700K/273337132333?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=572697269657&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
  5. I like the idea too, I see the merit pushing "stock" as far as it will go!! I just feel there is a potentially VAST difference in the cooling power between card A and card B, which would really make the competition unfair for the masses. I believe setting a temp limit is actually a whole lot more fair and constrained than saying "stock cooler"... If this does become a "stock cooler" competition, I will look forward to getting weird with a modded window AC unit and crazy cardboard duct work
  6. I understand the stock cooler idea to level out the field, but I don't see it being practical. As its proposed now I could use a stock card and chilled AC air blowing on it. Software based temp limits seems far more constrained and practical. Allowing all mainstream single-core cards up to 580's seems pretty much perfect as most people have a 580 already and they are widely available still. The other option would be to set a specific card like GTX1050 or but that limits the participants dramatically.
  7. wow...stock coolers WTF I pull off the stock cooler and chuck it in the trash first thing for all legacy cards. I think you need to open up the cooling method and stick with software based GPU temp limit of +15c or something in that range.
  8. There is no secret sauce bios, everything is public. All of the bios's I have tested give you full control of the cold volts and everything you need for 4133c12 memory and full pot LN2 CPU's. https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITXac/index.asp#BIOS
  9. I see my bro Shar on the front page, I hit like automatically! Nice work!
