Mean Machine Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Well, I'm not getting past what I've posted so far right now at least. Spent the entire afternoon with that. Gotta look into GPU and maybe memory OVP (1.2/1.77V). Quote
IRIS Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 By the way, Massman... Would like to ask you about the total point of the competition. Is the winner chosen from the highest total score (extreme & non extreme) or each stage has its own winner (1 winner for extreme stage and 1 winner for non extreme stage)? Quote
Massman Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Two prizes  GTX480 Lightning for winner of the extreme stage GTX460 Hawk for winner of the 25°C stage  Overall ranking is just for fun . Quote
IRIS Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I see... That's overall ranking bothered me before... Thanks for the confirmation... Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Whew...finally can get one score after wasting 15L on LN2, still wondering why my GT2 is so bad for 1.2Ghz GPU Core....also I got cold slow kicking in at about -75C, and probably need to do vgpu hardmod to see whether more than +200mV will give good scaling to the GPU.. Â Will do one more bench session tommorow Quote

Guest cowgut Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 you guys moving the cooling jumper? three cards tested cbb -78c-90c. slow cold after that. I asked for a slow cold bios but no responce from msi. think if you add 1.3v+ and not kill the card it would be great. killed two 1 @1.28v the other @1.29v both smoked the same spot 1 air 1 frozen. I got nothing my good card only goes 1140. Quote
Mean Machine Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 A few more tweaks for a final push tomorrow, not so sure I will improve my score. I'm sure Lucky_noob will take this if he gets his issues sorted out. Quote
Guest cowgut Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 you guys got the 200+ version of ab? well if anyone does'nt,use this bios for 1.21v in nvinspector then add +100 with afterburner 2.0 should be good for a card smoking 1.35+ just software. all stock besides the volt unlock. http://www.easy-share.com/1912531736/msi460hawk121 Quote

I got nothing my good card only goes 1140. Â Moving the dip switches did nothing to improve my overclocking Well, the xtremecool switch did lower the cold bug from -65 to about -90, but with cold slow kicking in at -75, it's not helping at all. The Cold Slow issue remained in the BIOS I think, will need someone close with nVIDIA to take out the 2D Slow mode out of this card, and after that maybe we'll see some improvement at lower temperature. Â Managed to get the Card to 1.33V to do a final bench session, hopefully everything went right on this one :) Quote
Massman Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Mean Machine was so kind to share the GTX460 Cyclone Vgpu mod on Facebook: Â Quote
Mean Machine Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) What about a teaser? Â Erm... Nothing to see here, changed my mind. Edited October 5, 2010 by Mean Machine Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 LOL @ Massman () Â I guess during the last 30 mins of the competition, we'll see many people submitting score more than 26k, with GPU Clock waaaaaay more than 1200Mhz :D Â There's still 4L of LN2 left, will try what I can do with that.. Quote
Mean Machine Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Yeah, I'm not too optimistic about my chances, but I've at least done what I could with this Cyclone. Quote
rickss69 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Had the card at 1044/1211mhz four minutes forty seven seconds into the run and I lost video. Confirmed the card is ghost lol. Been fun anyways folks and good luck to the remaining competitors. Quote
Mean Machine Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Not waiting around anymore, got a job interview in the morning, so I need some sleep. My final results are up. Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Whew...there is my final score, got that lucky run with that last 4L of LN2  Thanks to everyone who participate, it's been fun to bench with you guys, especially Jonas with the phenomenal Cyclone (only differs 15Mhz from my Hawk), nice work and effort, dude d()b  Now waiting for others to submit their score....

I got close to beating at least one Hawk.  I heard there are some bad ass scores coming in, but this whole Cyclone experience was quite fun. Maybe I'll get back to that later when I've refilled my LN2 dewar and figured out a way to raise the OVP even further (did that with 1.28VGPU, 1.82VMEM).  A full mod guide (sort of) for the Cyclone is available here: http://www.nordichardware.se/testlabb/292-nhoc/41324-msi-n460gtx-cyclone-en-modguide.html (In swedish, but pictures are in english) Edited October 5, 2010 by Mean Machine Quote

Guest cowgut Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 man all you guys kicked ass!!! ryba 27k omfg!!! good luck to all you guys and congrats to the winner. Quote
|ron Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Congrats to all of you guys, and thanks to MeanMachine for sharing the vmod Quote
Mean Machine Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Congrats ryba, nice score. I can't figure out how pissed I'd be with myself if that score didn't show up, with that 70 point margin to Lucky_n00b. Â NOW I have to go to bed for real. I was a bit too excited to do that when I said I would. Quote
