This battle has being really expensive and some of the hardware lost is irreplaceable, I really hope that our sacrifices were not in vain.

 

+1 there bud.

Hi,

 

I have a doubt.

 

Why is my submission SuperPI 32M with "0" points??

 

 

 

 

Thanks...

did you do the CB mod provided by Tin?

 

Maybe a special bios is needed.

 

did the mod, it gave me -5c more lol! is there a special bios?

[rbuass]

Hi Splave...regardless you are my competitor ATM...please share the bios if you have one ... I think you will keep your place in TW for sure.

[Splave]

I will gladly post in thread if there is bios level playing field. I did not try card with OCP mod yet, and tin said that you cannot short the resistor for CB but must remove it completely so i will try this afternoon and give my findings.

[ME4ME]

Wasn't the resistor a 0-ohm resistor anyway? ... shorting makes it 0+0=0 ..

[Splave]

yes I removed it instead and works at -75c idle okay over -110 is freaks out. Problem now is even though its colder clocks are still the same limit. 1.62v is maximum or red screen and power is not stable enough to complete GT1 sooo I will retire this gtx-680 and focus on lightning

[ME4ME]

Interesting. So no OCP, no burned mosfets .. but instead, red screens?

 

Damn, want to try GTX680 myself

[rbuass]

about what I saw from your Lightning...It is able to go to crazy clocks ;_

[Splave]

how dramatic, top 15 will move on.....there are only 15 lol I think that maybe there needs to be a meeting to discuss new rules for next year.

I was thinking the same, only 15 participants and after cut-off only the best 15 can continue.

[Hondacity]

rofl dramatic. some will get eliminated. last minute submissions for sure.

Maybe, only until last minute we can know that...

Lol! Socket A ftw

[[GF]Duke]

i hope there's not alot of late sandbaggers. That would be dreadful to the ones that are actually participating. New rules = participation from the start of some sort.

[Splave]

Been playing 3d11 physics test all day, finally have memory and chip singing

Tomorrow will show some 3d11 with lightning.

Hopefully there aren't too many sandbagging, z77-gd55 just went to hardware heaven & no other msi boards on hand to play with today.

[Splave]

^ sorry to hear this, hopefully you can replace soon!

[rbuass]

I did try and try to improve the results, ... , I really never used a motherboard like this... zilions of issues with 2 identical boards (X79 GD65)... and put RAM...remove RAM...put VGA...remove VGA... put RAM... remove RAM... remove CPU... put CPU... and finally... the motherboard is death... I don't know if is to laugh or to cry...lol

[Xyala]

1h30 minutes left, who is still benching ?

[rbuass]

I think people give up easy first time after to bench a X79 GD65...lol

[saint19]

@Rbuass: Hey bro, do you have the GPU?

 

Good luck in the final days guys...

[rbuass]

Yes...I got the Lightning, but unfortunately I lose 2 x boards X79 GD65 that death alone... not recommended ever
