  1. Hey again,

     

    I got a kit from Avexir a couple of weeks ago for overclocking purposes :)

    Haven't managed to test them with cold IMC but would like to post some Aida scores from running them on my daily pc.

     

    Here are some photos of their box:

    And now lets open it.Shall we? :)

    Now the System Setup:

     

    Intel i7 3770K@4.5Ghz

    Msi Z77A-GD80

    Avexir 4x4Gb 2400Mhz Cl10

    Evga 660Ti

    Thermaltake Toughpower Xt 1350W

    Dimastech Benchatble Easy White

     

    Os:Windows 7 64Bit Eng

    A memory kit with my name :D

    Conclusion:

     

    The Avexir is a brand new vendor in memory industry.They are willing with their experience to produce well performing products.Anyway the kit is good enough for its performance but would like to see it under overclocked conditions.Thats why I will continue the test and post results to analyze them.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Ps. sorry for the pictures.They could be better but I haven't my camera available due to lack of battery :(

  2. Hey guys,just received my new graphics card and thought it would be nice to post some benchmarking scores from my daily pc.

     

    Some words about the card:

    The card itself is an option made from Msi.It uses the dual slot cooler called Twin Frozr.

    The custom pcb and the aftermarket cooler are there for anything a user can require from the card.

     

    But anyway you are not here to read specifications and long texts.

    I assume you are here to see the results of the card in combination of my 3770K.Right? :)

     

    So just for the record what I used for the review:

    Hardware:

    Intel i7 3770K

    Evga Z77 FTW

    Avexir 4x4Gb 2400MhzCl10

    ThermalTake ToughtPower Xt 1350W

    Dimastech Easy White

     

    Software:

    OS:Windows7 64bit

    Drivers:Nvidia 301.42

     

    First lets check what card can do on stock settings:

     

    3DMark03:

    670gtx3d03stock.jpg

     

    3DMark Vantage:

    670gtxvantagestock.jpg

     

    3DMark11:

    670gtx3d11stock.jpg

     

    Now I overclocked the card at 1150mhz which has as a result 1315mhz~ due to the Boost technology.

    I found out the Gpux max frequency but for memory had to do more tests because it could run stable at 1800Mhz without additional voltage needed!

     

    3DMark Vantage Overclocked:

     

    670oc3dvantage.jpg

     

    3DMark 11 Overclocked:

     

    670oc3d11.jpg

     

     

    Final Words:

     

    The performance of this card is great but what surprised me was the memory overclocking part.

    Have tested a 660Ti before(with the same type of memory chips I think) and didnt manage to pass 1650-1675mhz.

    As for the cooling it kept the core under 61C on stock settings and auto fan speed and under 57C while overclocked on 100% fan speed.

     

    Thanks for reading :)

  3. haha

     

    maybe I beet you :)

    Burnt a 8800gt by applying As5 on vrm.

    Killed a P55a ud5 when soldering.(60watt solder -ouch-).

    The good 480gtx lightning of Hipro.(was his fault but anyway).Its core got broken from the pot.

    And killed a 4870 aa month ago. :S

     

    I think I have more,will add soon.

  4. Hey,this is my guide for insulating a motherboard.

    I thought it would be a nice idea to make one for new users. :)

     

    The ginny pig will be my favourite Evga Z77 Ftw :D

     

    What you will need to insulate a motherboard:

     

    Plastik Spray for PCBs.I am using the following:

    http://www.conrad-uk.com/medias/global/ce/8000_8999/8200/8200/8205/820560_BB_00_FB.EPS_400.jpg

    Some packs of "Art Eraser" (around 8 packets):

    Insulation Tape:

    and Vaseline:

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Vaseline.jpg/220px-Vaseline.jpg

     

    So lets start:

     

    Firstly,we have to remove all the stickers.To do that,an easy way is to increase the temperature with a hairdryer and remove them.

    DSC03948_zps45bfddd0.jpg

     

    After cleaning the motherboard and removing the stickers we can move on insulating it.

    Step 1a:Use a swab to spread it all over the cpu's area.Try not to come n touch with socket's pins,fan connectors,cpu power connectors,etc.

    DSC03950_zpsc396f97b.jpg

     

    DSC03951_zpsbd68d648.jpg

     

    here is the result:

    DSC03954_zps92fe4530.jpg

    Now its become glossy lets move on to "Step 1b"

     

    Step 1b:

    and do the same on the backside of the motherboard:

    DSC03957_zpsd7fdc1fc.jpg

     

    Step 2: Fron tside

    Now lets use the eraser:

    DSC03958_zpsa78ba06a.jpg

     

    Make small pieces of it and starting insulating the are around the cpu and pci express:

    DSC03960_zps30b1d4d2.jpg

     

    Right before we end with the cpu area:

    DSC03961_zpsf0592488.jpg

     

    ***Good tip to know.I always use insulation tape to keep the cpu in possition.In that way we are sure that eraser will not damage socket's pins!!!

     

    DSC03962_zpse3cdc60f.jpg

     

    Cpu's Socket area completed:

    DSC03963_zps47cd3c44.jpg

     

    Step 3: Front side

    Move on and insulate the pci express area.

    Do what you did for the cpu area.Be careful again with pci express pins.

    DSC03971_zpsd648edd5.jpg

     

    DSC03970_zps409fe564.jpg

     

    As you can see I am using insulation tape around the pci express in order to prevent vaseline(I use vaseline when insulating a graphics card)come in touch with eraser.That will make the eraser to melt and have a horrible result.

     

    Step 4: Back side

     

    Here I use insulation tape for the backplate as it gets really cold.

    Then I fill it with eraser and cover the eraser with insulation tape,in order to prevent ot getting in touch with the vaseline.

    DSC03967_zps801f779b.jpg

     

    Step 5: Vaseline

     

    Spread vaseline on the back side of the motherboard.I have not done this on the Ftw as I still using it as my 24/7 system,will add photos soon.

     

    Additional Tips and tricks:

     

    1)Use armaflex tape instead of vaseline for the backside of the motherboard.

    2)Use paper in order to create an additional level of insulation around the pci express area

     

     

    annnnnnddd third and most important enjoy your session :D

     

    Any possible mistakes will be corrected as soon as possible! :)

     

    Thanks,

    Stavros

     

    PS. forgot to mention that removing the socket will make your job easier! :)

  5. what I used:

    1.65vcore on wprime.5 tries

    1.60vcore 2v pll and 1.3vccio Intel burn test and prime 3x times

    on stock heatsink

     

    and now without cooler au 4.5g let it boot the shutdown after while.Turned it on again,shutdown after while again.

     

    did this about 10+TIMES AND STILL WORKING :o

     

    Ps. I play with cpu's contacts with a t-shirt to create static electr. but still alive :/
