Massman Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 As said before, 680 Lightning is not allowed in this competition Also note that APAC overclockers can apply for a AB-xtreme for their 7970 Lightning card.

jjjc Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm already out of the game I think. Mounted pot to my 7970 and booted fine, kept it around 20-25c, started overclocking the cpu to an easy 5.5ghz and about an hour in the pc rebooted, and looped with the Ab error code. Pulled it all down and went to bed last night, woke up again this morning to test and got the same thing. Put a DMM on 7970 and no voltage at all, blue lights only coming on for half a second on initial power. Pot contact was good and had a good fan strapped to the back of the card. Can't even buy these things now, everywhere in Aus is out of stock with no ETA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebanik Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Can't even buy these things now, everywhere in Aus is out of stock with no ETA. Aus sucks, Its much better here in India, , Distris never ordered Lightning, so no stock, ETA from Intel for 3770K is July 1st Week. MSI GD65/GD80 is not available though they would be here within this week is what I am told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbuass Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I understand you, the banik.... Here almost the same.... still no Lightnings, no MB available , and 3770K is newest and arrived 2 or 3 weeks... Often we need to buy from Ebay or Mercado Livre (is similar to brazilian Ebay)... and pay the highest fees and duties in th world... and still is possible customs delay 1...2...3 months to get the pack... I hope you find a way to get the hardware was needed to try. Good lucky there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebanik Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Mumbai's Lamington Road. I have talked directly to Intel India Marketing team and MSI India Marketing head and there is nothing there, which can be bought. Intel did send around 50 chips earlier around a month ago which were grabbed and sold out within a day/few minutes at retail stores. Next lot would come only by month end. MSI asked distri to order atleast 10 Lightnings and distri was not ready to do that, so neither Review Samples were sent out to India nor any Sales items. Though ofcourse ebay/forum sales are their for me and anyone else interested here. Ofcourse that increases costs by a gud margin and no binning but this hobby as we all know is costly.

jjjc Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Haha BOB, haven't even got hold of a lightning yet (on it's way) so I decided to play with some 32m. Hope to have some 3D results soon. Looking forward to seeing everybody elses work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NABE Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 MSI Japan does not have a 7970Lighting. Even if you want to buy can not buy. Can not do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
