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)?

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..

 

Will do one more bench session tommorow :)

Nah, I think you should stop where you are now.

 

I'm having coldbug at about -65c, it just completely stops working. :)

Guest cowgut

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.

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.

 

Managed to get the Card to 1.33V to do a final bench session, hopefully everything went right on this one :) :)

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. :D

 

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)

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. :D

 

NOW I have to go to bed for real. I was a bit too excited to do that when I said I would. :)

 

Ah yes, It's ONLY 70 pts difference :D :D :D

 

Time for bed as well, good luck for your interview bro ;)
