MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk (mods + oc + coldslow bios)

INTRO

 

Just got this card in house. Only air cooling results so far, need to use the little bits of LN2 I have left to test Lightning first.

 

Card can do ~ 1050/1200 on air with elevated voltages. Unlike with the 6950, increasing pressure to stock cooling did not gain any more results.

 

LN2 test will come!

PICTURES AND VIDEO:

 

Only a retarded 3DMark11 screen. Who cares running other benchmarks if there's a coldslow, right! Uploaded some video to Youtube as well, but since there are no youtube tags here you'll have to check out the HWBOT submission.

Received the coldslow BIOS, so flashed quickly and tested again. This BIOS is actually for the 560 ti Twin Frozr, but works perfectly on the Hawk too :).

Using Nvidia Inspector to increase the VGA clocks now instead of Afterburner.

Needed to relax a bit, so decided to play a few hours with the MSI GTX 560 Ti again. Only objective was to run 1500 core through 3DMark11. Now, I can leave this card and bench it for HWBOT points some time in the future when I feel like benching for points :).

 

SETUP:

 

- Core i7 990X

- SF3D Inflection Point (keep CPU temp ~ 20°C)

- GIGABYTE X58A-OC

- 3x 2GB ADATA "no, not hyper" XPG+ series

- MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk

- Ryba Fat Pot

- Coolermaster 1000W PSU

 

SETTINGS:

 

- FW 275.27 (big boost!)

- 1.52V Vgpu

- 1.98V Vmem

- ~ -135°C

- ~ 20L LN2

- too much crashes
