Quake Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 This means you only have 60A for GPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondacity Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 its 80A (85A over current protection trips) you only need to rewire the connectors.. easy fix for added current from the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoqolatl Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 AFAIK there were no OCP problems at EMEA finals with the same VGA and PSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondacity Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 AFAIK there were no OCP problems at EMEA finals with the same VGA and PSU. I was studying the v2 rail. and I think they disable(ocp) it for tripple sli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME4ME Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 PSU is no problem. It handles 1450+ fine. For those who didn't notice last time, me and elmor used 4xmolex-to-8pin converter to "unlock" full power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matose Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 If you feed the VGA from 12V1 and 12V2 I think you can reach almost 1600MHz. ~1500MHz only from 12V1 was possible though... I confirmed with MSI and there will be special signs on the VGA's that will be send and also SN and GPU batches for every single card. This means no IHS removing and no lapping the IHS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME4ME Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) OCP won't occur at 1450. Around 1550 (with matching voltage), it might ... Since you're speculating anyway.. I think it won't. 1450 3dmark11 with a bad card, or 1550 with a good card; the difference should't be too much in terms of power usage. On both cards you'd need atleast 1.55v, so the only difference is in GPU clocks. Since the good card probably has a high quality / better GPU, it's likely the power usage should be roughly the same at maxed out clocks. But again, all speculation until someone (Tin? ) checks it out for real. So I think the PSU is no problem... More worried about again having to bench crap memory at MOA.

Massman Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Maybe you're right. It will be a close call, probably depending on the voltage finetuning. I used the Cooler Master Silent Pro with the Matrix 580 and got OCP at around 1635MHz (instant OCP, so maybe 1625 at high load scenery) at 1.6V. That PSU has these specs: It's single rail 80A, not sure where the exact OCP is. If all cards are good cards (read: 1600-capable), there will be an issue. If they are just average (read: 1500-1550), there should be no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matose Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 You know that power usage gets higher also with GPU clocks, especially on Fermi arhitecture? The problem is the "wheel of fortune" with CPU binning. If you pick a bad CPU you lose SPI32M and 3DMark01 so you can go home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perica_barii Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Problem is also that you cannot use Control center, will they provide us some tool to rise bclk from win, because boot at high bclk on Msi board will be impossible... rules: http://msi-moa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32&lang=en part regarding using Control center: For Task 1: SuperPI 32M, the CPU ratio will be fixed at most 50, and the software MSI Control Center cannot be installed and used.

Mean Machine Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've booted at 109.8MHz. Not many times, and definitely not two times in a row, but I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 On the other hand, what I can't is boot from bios with more than 47x with a 52x fully stable i7 2600K. I always had to set 52x within windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnidaol Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 lol that's the way I like it, lots of challenges!! The sad part of being on the first qualifier is not being able to have the same battle that you guys faced on each of the "operations"... At Operation Las Vegas using Xpower + patriot memory + reference 580 didn't brought this challenges of fixed parameters or insufficient PSU =P but I don't complain, I know I would prefer to be on WW finals, but partying hard on Vegas is priceless =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
