June 7, 201212 yr Crew my board still working nicely after many sessions. I've been lucky. Oh wait my reference 7970 died, not so lucky anymore
June 7, 201212 yr Congratulation to the other in top15. 15th place is reserved for us Will be an awesome battle for top5!
June 7, 201212 yr Imagine all the people battling for TOP 15 on a livestream-camera. That would be intense! Flames, sweat and liquid nitrogen or just a bunch of dudes in pants surrounded by smoke looking at a screen Anyways, congrats to all that made it out alive. Luckily for me, I bought only one GPU. It was brand new from a webshop, but judging by the marks, someone had it. Oh and with a burned GPU reactor as a bonus with bent and melted pins Edited June 7, 201212 yr by Aerou

June 8, 201212 yr Also sorry to hear my first board is only X16 capable now After almost 100x CMOS Clear presses and 1h in the oven it went back to "life"...anyway competition done, the rest of LN will be used for M4E-Z which runs fine even after hours at -190c
June 8, 201212 yr I can not complain, just bought one 7970 lightning, and not the best but I can not say it's bad, the board had already purchased for longer, and so far has not killed anything ... but if that happened would be the end for me ... I don´t know how many times i see bluescreens
June 8, 201212 yr It was brand new from a webshop, but judging by the marks, someone had it. Oh and with a burned GPU reactor as a bonus with bent and melted pins I think I know who's had it
June 9, 201212 yr Sheesh. Looks like my biggest issue is going to be finding an MSI board that works.
June 9, 201212 yr 55 is memory related issue yeah useally but tried 8 differnet stick in each slot same thing locked 55
June 9, 201212 yr hmm had 55 on the M5G when memory was not seated properly, reseated and no issues after that.
June 9, 201212 yr my first gd65 worked two days then locked to 55 code tried with both bioses, two different cpus and a lot of different rams bought another board, hope it will work at least 5 days more...
June 9, 201212 yr oh and 3 differant cpus fester, try giving the stick some pressure while you boot 1 got 55 on mvf when I got too much vaseline in the slot
