Crew Vivi Posted June 7, 2012 Crew Posted June 7, 2012 my board still working nicely after many sessions. I've been lucky. Oh wait my reference 7970 died, not so lucky anymore Quote
fuzz3l Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Congratulation to the other in top15. 15th place is reserved for us Will be an awesome battle for top5! Quote
Aerou Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) 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, 2012 by Aerou Quote

fuzz3l Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 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 Quote
Billy-The-Kid Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 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 Quote
