    Like I said I am fine with the caps not being replaced it is just  a nice to have. I will be fine with buying one that is stock. 

    I hear you, was just mentioning because maybe someone actually knows of a good solution

    all 3 caps replaced ?

    Don't think I've seen one like this. Probably because just removing the caps is not easy and could potentially kill your board if not careful

    and once off what to replace it with that will be reliable and will fit under heatsink

    bonjour

    je dois vmod une asus R9 280X directcu II mais je ne trouve pas d'infos

    svp

     

    You can use the vga hotwire points for standard trimpot hardmod or with OC Panel. Shamino shows points in these motherboard guides for dcuii hd 7970 aka r9 280x
    Here is forced 3d bios for 7970dcuii also. I have ocp bios and another but not sure if they are for Ref, Matrix or DCUII

    Thank you guys. With this cpu on Cascade and NB on air I haven't tried. I will try in the coming days. Impression that I am limited by the CPU. In my opinion the lack of over 700 results due to the cost and rarity of these boards. I have 3 other non-functioning ones. Two of which have SB dead. Let's see how they will go up once they are repaired. I wanted to say thanks to Tapakah, he sold me this card because he didn't go over 600 of fsb. The problem was the lack of compound between the NB and the heat sink.

    So just like my NIB board I bought from L0ud. Here is the factory paste job

    Seller failing to refund after DOA

    Packaging is bad like alex stated. Put the cpu in clam shell then put the ihs by itself wrapped in something. keep them separate. 

     

    This is really the most important part imo

    Seller failing to refund after DOA

    in Offtopic

    Posted · Edited by GtiJason

    Just want to quickly state my 2¢ on this issue (shipping delidded cpu's many different ways) since I have a lot of experience with this. When selling my 4690k on OCN Forum and a Golden 4770k to my teammate and friend DR4G00N both around the same month and both arriving with cracked die. I spent hours packaging and recording the cpu's worked before I put them into the shipping boxes. With DR4G00N's cpu ( L310 from Allen ) I actually built several versions of custom shipping boxes and ended up with a smallish box built as a sort of an exoskeleton to suspend the cpu in the middle of the box in case the package got aggressively tossed around or partially crushed

    After having to replace/refund both of these items I was very curious to see for myself how different packaging methods for delidded cpu's  affected the die itself. Having several dead but not physically damaged cpu's/dies I called up my brother to let him know what I was doing and to have him open, inspect, take pics and repackage and ship them back to me. I sent 2 cpu's at a time in 2 separate boxes to him and back, did this with the only 3 dead unscratched die cpu's I had back and forth at least twice for each cpu. I tried many methods with the ihs and cpu together both with and without the plastic clamshell.

    1) cpu, shop towel ihs in clamshell, with that wrapped in blue shop/paper towel, and fully sealed with 2"w masking tape 2) same setup but lid taped to cpu and no clamshell. 3) + 4) Same as first and second but instead of shop towel separating ihs and cpu used lots of thicker thermal paste. 5) same as previous 2 (cpu,paste, ihs) but super glue ihs in 4 corners 6) black RTV like stock 7) naked cpu alone wrapped in blue shop/paper towel with ihs wrapped separately in same box 8 ) and naked cpu wrapped in shop towel till apprx 3" x 3" x 2" cube then adding ihs and wrapping more using 3 blue shop towel folded up to wrap tight and cover with masking tape

    TLDR
    So my conclusion is, I now only ship cpu's either fully sealed ihs with rtv/stock or naked cpu wrapped many many times in paper/shop towel and tape. IHS can be added after to save space or just wrap ihs the same and tape both together. Method idea came from Sam/Tapaka method of shipping me S775 cpu's without clamshell

    I have not sold many cpu's since but did make a trade with a member here. My delidded i3 8350k for some AFR ram
    Ask @AutisticChris how that cpu showed up and the reason I told him I only ship that way, period

    Official start was May 5th and a new background was imposed and available from the 4th on...

    I found the new background when I checked 3.5 - 4 hours prior to start of comp. Not sure why so many people missed this unless some of the links were not updated. Maybe people DL'd old BG the day before and decided to not check back before benching. Always a good idea to check rules etc. before -you- start benching, whether that's at hour 1 or a week later

    why is that so ??? if you have the "best as you stated" youd already have posted with it yes ?, no matter what comp regardless of this one, so it comes back to the "silicone lottery" from what i can see,  if you have a good 1080ti, well all the luck to you, same as the cpu, if you have a good one then go for it, i see this point youre saying as mute, and its not building rigs with a 2 or 4 core , its about a comp to compete in with them as i see it, we all have many and different stuff for whatever, its changed then for whatever we chose to be part of ?

    Why is what so, not sure what you are getting at. This has nothing to do about me, I almost never post my results to hwbot anymore. All I'm saying is I'd have a hard time convincing someone new to participate in competitive OC if they have current hardware but low to mid-range. The problem I see is 4 divisions are essentially the same and require a 1080 ti to win. Sure a lot of people bought up 1080 ti stock until it dried up but I'd imagine only a tiny percentage of them were not mid twenties and younger due to price. I mean if what we are trying to accomplish does not include growing our already shrinking community then by all means 1080 ti's for all but Pro Div's, but the way I've seen competitive OC trending toward in the last 5 years or so we can't afford to give anyone a reason to opt out solely because a $450++ gpu is essentially required to  be competitive can we ?

    But wouldn't limiting cpu clocks so much mean whoever has or finds the best 1080ti will win Div II, III, IV and V. All you need to do is go to Best Buy and pick up whatever core cpu you're missing and return for full refund. I thought the point of Divisions based on core count was to make it more inclusive and maybe attract some new blood. Don't know how many guys out there chose to build 2 and 4 core rigs with $600 gpu's. Should be like we used to do

    2 core w/ GTX xx50 ti or xx60 / RX 570

    4 core w/ GTX  xx70  or xx70 ti / RX 590

    6 core w/ GTX xx80 / Vega 56 or Vega 64

    8 core w/ GTX xx80 ti / Vega 64 or Radeon VII
