I'm making mine black and orange once I get it.

We want Pi!

I think having the mobo at an angle is stupid. It will make swapping parts a pain.

SOLD on reddit.

On hold for someone else right now.

Got it free with one of my motherboards. I don't have a use for it so I want to get rid of it. 45GBP shipped.

bump

Ok update. I will trade the RVE for a 5820K or 5930K as long as the chips aren't total garbage. So I'm looking for say 4.7Ghz Cinebench on 1.4V with ambient cooling.

you know what I'm just gonna skip lowering the price overtime. 300GBP for the board not including shipping. This is as low as I will go.

Ok guys my new board is on it's way I want this gone. Price drop to 330GBP.

Price drop to 340GBP.

This board is a replacement sent to me by OCUK after my first RVE died. It's a brand new board with a new box including all accessories. I'm selling it because I want to get a different board. I want 350GBP not including shipping. I prefer paypal but we can negotiate alternatives.

19 as of few days ago. OCing since I was 15. I've used LN2 for I think 2 years now.

Yeah I figured as much

Ok so I just noticed something weird. If I try to set over 9Ghz mem in GPU Tweak II with extended OC range it just goes back to 9Ghz. Is there any chance of a fix for this? I was hoping that with more Vmem I could push as much as 10GHz but if the software doesn't allow above 9Ghz I can't really do anything.

lol the impact so out of place in that full size case.

Ok so from what I'm seeing so far the main complaint is that giving low-mid range GPUs globals is that it would make globals not "special" enough. So lets just make a GPU class system and give them class points. It would make the low to mid range worth benching for points and wouldn't make globals any less "special". The way I see it the points exist to make people compete. However you'd have to be blind to think that the mid range GPUs are competitive(not talking points wise I'm talking just the number of submissions on them) and that's almost entirely because they aren't worth benching point wise for anyone and lets face it most of you apparently care enough about points to whine about every time one of these threads pop up. As of right now mid range isn't competitive. Most of these cards have less than a hundred subs(wow so many competitors /s) and if you want to talk about benching them you are greeted with silence because surprise surprise no one cares about them cause they don't have points. Giving them some actual value would very quickly change this. Personally I've decided to just not bother with points after I get myself a semi respectable ranking by grinding out HWpoints on old stuff using the 5960X and 4790K and after that I will just bench whatever GPU looks the most interesting to me. That's why I went and poured 20L of LN2 on my RX 480 and 4790K submitted exactly 0 scores from that session and didn't feel bad about it(actually felt really great about it except for the part where all the scores were crap).

My spoken Czech might be. But my written Czech is terrible.

To be fair as of right now mid range cards are completely under represented on HWbot. No one benches them. There are 17 submissions for Firestrike on the RX 480. One of the most popular cards in the Steam HW survey the GTX 960 has 84 Firestrike subs here on HWbot. So we aren't really gonna harm anyone because there isn't anyone to harm to start with. On the other hand this sort of heavy price point segmentation would hopefully get people to buy low end cards to practice modding with and then move up or stay with the low end stuff. I don't know if these price segmentation should get global points or perhaps some whole new points like class points or something. However as of right now my main gripe with HWbot is that there are too few ways to earn points. You either bench old stuff for HWpoints or ultra high end stuff for global points. There is no space for benching what I would consider relevant hardware here. A 1500mhz GTX 980 Ti is worth about 20 global points in Firestrike a 1500mhz GTX 960 which is similarly difficult to achieve is worth an incredible 4.5 HWpoints. If I was the guy with the 960 I'd be pretty annoyed. But I'd be even more annoyed if I had a 380. Which is the same performance and price range as the 380 but worth even less points because there's like 10 people with the card on HWbot and so even if I got first I'd get 2 points. I'm not saying the MSRP thing is the best way but I'm just saying I want to see a system where current gen midrange hardware is actually worth benching for everyone.

I also like the price braket segmentation based on MSRP. By just implementing a MSRP segmentation you will have people going for GP with say 250$ cards, 500$ and 750$ cards. The by product of this will be that the best card in each price braket each year would get more submissions which would boost the HW point value and so it would be more relevant to bench in a year or 2. For example if we did divisions of: 0 -150 150-300 301-450 451-600 601-750 751+ Then right now people would bench the RX 460 in the 150$ bracket, 480 and 1060 for 300$ bracket, GTX 1070 for 450$ bracket, GTX 1080, Fury, Nano, GTX 980 for 600$ bracket, 980Ti for 750$ braket and TITANs for 751+ The end reult would be that all these cards would get more subs so in a year they would have a relevant amount of HWpoints. Multi GPU setups would just shifted up by the cost of the GPUs. So 2 RX 480s would be in the 451-600$ bracket and 4 of them would be fighting in the GTX TITAN arena. IMO that would work great. More people benching more cards is IMO always a good thing and it would also make OCing more accessible to "mere mortals" who can't buy a TITAN. I've personally decided to just bench what ever the hell I want without worrying about points. But for people who do care about points this would IMO spice things up as there would be a lot more viable hardware each year to choose from.

The thing is sometimes you buy binned just to avoid the trash.

RX 460 Nitro also runs it. I think all the 460s might use it since the only low budget controller that will work with the 460s since the only other compatible controllers are the 3564(used on Nano) and 3567(Hawii, Fiji, Polaris 10).

sign me up for 2.

Ok so I just did my very first LN2 session with the RX 480. So I figured I'd share my expirience for anyone else intrested as well as start a generally discussion about pushing the RX 480 on cold. Stuff to be aware of My reference card didn't have either CB or CBB so I ended up running full pot. However I do suspect that my mounting might have failed at some point in time because I was clocking a little low and because I couldn't use the backplate for my Raptor 4 due to it conflicting with my extra cap placements. If you can get into BIOS but not into windows then you need to go into safe mode and reinstall the drivers because Wattman remembers your last unstable OC and is trying to boot with it(praise AMD! /s). If you have an SSD and a clean setup this should not take too long. - Stuff to use to overclock. As of right now Elmor's LN2 BIOS + GPU Tweak II is the best for voltage control and clocks since it goes to 4Ghz core and 18Ghz mem as well as 2V on the core(not that you will ever reach any of those). At 150% power limit the BIOS gives you a 450W power limit. - Display going black when running benches. The card has black screen issues. If you push it really low(like say the -178C that I ran at according to my dodgy equipment) with high core voltage you will lose the display. The benchmark is still running you just can't see it. In theory this should be solvable by putting more volts on the .95V rail but I can't figure out how to Vmod it yet. Once I do I will test. To see if the card is running you when blackscreened you need to use a DMM on either Vcore or Vmem as either will show the impact of 3D load. For me mem would hit 1.571V under load and idled at 1.551V. Overclocking - Core overclocking I could run windowed 3DM firestrike 1280x1050(IIRC not sure about the resolution) at 1600mhz however my best pass of Firestrike proper was only 1550mhz. Neither more Vcore(tested 1.4-1.6V) nor cold did anything. I suspect I may have just had a bad mount or something which caused these problems. Once I bench again I will know for sure. It is also possible my card just doesn't scale at all. - Memory overclocking The Samsung memory on my 8GB reference card seems to absolutely hate cold and voltage. I modded my card for 1.72V mem. That didn't help OCing at all. I also tried more VCCI(the voltage in the memory section of Wattman) that also didn't help either and led to the second driver reinstall I did in my session with the card. The card could pass benches at 9Ghz mem on ambient. With the PCB freezeing through I was fighting for 8.5Ghz so I guess the RAM didn't like the cold either. The 4GB Hynix cards are probably a better choice for pure clock speed on cold IDK about performance someone would need to do a test. BTW here's the memory voltage mod for reference PCB cards(it should be compatible with all card using the GS7256 controller): http://i.imgur.com/fZz3lPz.png
