saint19 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 @k404: I have my own batch of 8800's I plan to jump in with, and didn't know about this comp when I pm'd you. I was starting work today, but had moisture problems... letting things dry out, and I am hoping the CPU lives at least. The mobo would be easily replaced, if the chip is dead then I am out. 2nd dead chip in less that a month? That would not be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M.O.G. Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 3rd times the charm they say, I need to kill something else before Ivy Bridge comes out... You know, get it out of my system. 8.23GHz 8120 - dead 5.76 2600K/P67A-GD65 - unknown (letting the mobo dry out, not sure what all is dead yet) Next chip - doomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint19 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 amd cpus only would make it interesting. Not sure about that, if your see my 3DMark 2001 score is around 11K points under the next one, the same happen on 3DMark03 and in 3DMark06 the difference is around 3.2K points.

True but I sold sandy and I am playing with phenom xII 560 right now so would be more interesting for me =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.nfraR.ed Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Would it be safe if I run 8800 on LN2 without heatsinks on the vrms, but just a fan blowing over them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondacity Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 haven't run my 8800s without heatsinks on the mosfets...the heatsinks do get warm(when loaded) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M.O.G. Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Would it be safe if I run 8800 on LN2 without heatsinks on the vrms, but just a fan blowing over them? My 8800 gt 512 got warm on the vrm sink under LN2, but it only liked the temps at about -60 to -70. You may be able to get away with it, cards are cheap and all. Or you could just hack up an old heatsink and throw some metal on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.nfraR.ed Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks guys. Just found some spare sinks that fit, so I'm going to play it safe. It would be my second LN2-cooled vga and I've never played with 8800 before. I don't expect great results, but still it's a good experience.

I.M.O.G. Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 With vmods top 10 on your card should be pretty easy (it was in my experience)... I had a baked/revived card with mods for my 8800 gt 512 submissions. I was going to take part in this comp until the 2600k died. Maybe I can submit on the last day of the comp with Ivy Bridge?

Gamer Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Would it be safe if I run 8800 on LN2 without heatsinks on the vrms, but just a fan blowing over them? Never used a heatsink on the vrm's, only a blowing fan on it. All cards are still alive, apart from a 8800GTX that blew up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.M.O.G. Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That is a good place to start, if you are a wussy. lol (thats in the ballpark that I ran mine... stopped scaling much after that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondacity Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 ovp/ocp kicks in @ 1.6ish volts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M.O.G. Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Didn't know that. I also don't know if there are mods for that, my card was hardmodded for volts, and I assumed that would knock out ovp/ocp. Dunno. I just make'm card go fast.
