Strong Island

Does the price include shipping to USA?

wow, i cant believe this, amazing

man amazing score. Now I can't decide between the matrix or the HOF. They both seem amazing.

wow that's amazing

I was actually testing the chip for 3d 01 with gpu on water, couldn't break 6.1ghz that my last one did. I then remembered that my last heaven score was from my 780 ti and that I could easily break it with my gpu on water. So I just switched os's quick and did a run just to get some points. Heaven doesn't care much for cpu so that's I why I wasn't really paying attention to it but cpu was on ln2. Can't wait to try this again with gpu on ln2 and memory modded. Basically everything was setup for 3d 01 and this was the only bench I could think of that I could run and beat my old score. I definitely realize it's an awkward setup for this bench but it wasn't planned or anything. Sometimes if my main goal doesn't go good and there is ln2 left I try to run anything I can to at least make the night semi-productive, even if the setup isn't ideal.

this is the driver I used and it works fine, along with the 3d memory bios's. http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/344.11/344.11-desktop-winxp-32bit-english.exe

ya that really sucks. If they can take your money where you live than you should get the same support as everyone else.

thanks a lot for the guide and info. This makes me want to sell my strix so bad. Want to try 1.75v now. haha. I tried 1.7v on my strix but anything above around 1.65v wasn't doing much. I love my 780 ti matrix. Once I removed the resistor to stop the memory from frying itself it works amazing.

I completely understand and I totally appreciate you sharing it with us. Just sometimes it's frustrating just starting out and you see all these amazing devices and they are very hard to get a hold of especially as a beginner. It's still awesome to see though. Thanks for sharing.

ya it's true. I still love looking at these things. but it's like "hey here is some really amazing stuff that you mortals will never get your hands on" That is one thing frustrating about xoc, I wish the tools and special hardware were available to everyone. Not that I even know how to use one yet but it's still frustrating, especially the software programs like abx.

you can get them really cheap online. just look up dupont 2 pin cables on ebay. or any 2 pin cables will work. I used some old ones from a pc power cable front header.

this doesn't really help with trying dice/ln2 a few times, getting points, and not having to move up a league. I was kind of upset at first that my first ln2 sub made me switch leagues and almost made watercooling subs not fun anymore, but now I am glad that I switch to extreme league and wouldn't like a change since I already had to make this decision myself. I thought about a cool idea when deciding which league to join. Maybe setting up 2 accounts, one for water and one for extreme, but that wont really work and would mess up the team leagues. I think things are good the way they are. Once you start using ln2 you wont really want to go back to water anyway.

man that sucks, I can redo it tonight. I have seen so many like that I guess I didn't think about it. memory was 2600 CL10 12-12-31-1 5000mhz cache

wow awesome price, have you used the hotwire on it yet.

use one of the locked 3d memory bios's. You still obviously can't change mem freq. but mem will be overclocked. I am using the 980_88 bios in win xp now and it's working great, mem speed is what it should be 2200. Also nvpmm works good so the card will stay at max boost even when under a low load like 3d 01. it works great.

that kinda sucks. just got back from islandia, ny airgas and I could only get them down to $1.65 a liter. I heard the guy say that the list price was like $4.50 a liter in the system so they did try and help me out. If anyone pays more I can upload my receipt, at least it would be current.

Going to try for my first time tomorrow airgas in islandia, ny. Hopefully the receipts help. I also have receipts from the welding place I use. I love the welding place because it's only $1 a liter but they have been giving me an attitude everytime I go there now like they don't like me coming there. I am so mad. I hope airgas comes thru. It's a little further away as the welding place is only 10min away but I hate when you get treated like crap as a paying customer. I hope they can match $1. Does anyone else bench on long island, ny? Hoping there is another place around.

thanks guys, ya it seems like a terrible cpu but next time should be able to at least run 5.2ghz. the cpu sucks, and I cant afford another, couldn't even afford this one. this weekend I will improve the scores alot. should be a little more in the gpu core and mem.

wow that looks really amazing. Can't wait to learn how to hook one up.

it depends on which card he has.

Hi guys, trying to use my matrix for some 3d 01 runs in xp and I am having trouble getting the card to boost to the highest p0 boost clock. I tried nvidia inspector and setting the power management but it's not working. What do you guys use when running xp and the newer cards with boost. Same with 06. No matter what I set in precision it will only boost to 987 core. Any help would be amazing. Pulling my hair out. Thanks.

did you confirm if ln2 mode helped with 1T. I can't get 1T no matter what I try. Wonder if ln2 mode raises a certain voltage that is helping.

Here is a submission. I will lower price to $700 shipped. http://hwbot.org/submission/2550610_

Selling my Kingpin Edition. Card is really nice. Has the best memory out of all Kingpins I tested. Does 8000mhz on tight timing bios. I hit 1763mhz core in firestrike extreme but I think I could have done 1800 and I think it will do 1800 in the less intensive benches. I can really only accept paypal. $700 shipped.

cool, thanks a lot for that. I emailed regular sales yesterday but will try this. I might be mistaken but I think I am able to submit the score online even with the free version. Is that all I need is the link that comes up once submitted online. futuremark sales said it was possible. Not that I have a top 20 coming anytime soon but I am trying really hard. Edit - nevermind I guess free version only lets you submit one result. Hopefully Pasi can help out. Edit2 - I can get the validation link with the free version ok but at least in 05 you can't open the details window with free version. That's really wierd. Hopefully I can get some keys. So unless you use a hacked key you can't even use the free version of 05 and get a proper screenie because no details window. and then if you use a hacked key the validation link doesn't work. It's really frustrating
