yea bro i think i mastered gt1,

 

all you got to do is make it freeze for 5 sec before gt2 then boom

[Massman]

Freeze as in 'pause' ?

[Vivi]

Freeze as in 'pause' ?

 

yes it paused . i thought it crashed, but then suddenly gt2 started.

 

But i dont think its the same thing hahaha

I got today my 680 Lightning retail, 1.1v on ln2 bios (new revision). When I flash it with old ln2 bios I have artefacts even in bios lol. Something changed but rev. on PCB is the same in theory. So no OC this weekend...

oh wow, this could make life entertaining for the next 28 days.

I heard there will be hardware mod guide so it should be much more interesting during finals but I still hope those new cards will also have software voltage control like old ones via new ABX or other special bios

maybe BIOS is messed up. have you tried with a different copy of the old BIOS file? What is the BIOS version that came with your card, and where did you buy it from?

[michaelrw]

now i am hesitant to buy a new one for myself if voltage can not be controlled with ABX

[Xtreme Addict]

I forgot to add - new ABX MOA edition and new special bios (1500gpu stock) work

[uncle fester]

Hi XA i have same here but memory frequency cannot change, 1500memory only ???

[Xtreme Addict]

Yoo

 

Yeah, LN2 special bios (1500 gpu and only P0 state) is locked with memory OC. I asked MSI to prepare P0 state bioses with locked memories 1750,1800,1850 and so on, hope they will do it

[uncle fester]

Is 1.7 vgpu too much for,these cards ?

[Xtreme Addict]

I heard no more than 1.55v because GPU loves to degraded/die but I haven't tested it - I have problems with 1.45+

[uncle fester]

Oops guess ill,know tommorow if card still clocks.

[Guest cowgut]

Should have no problem keeping it alive @1.60v with ln2 cold.

I'v had the gk104 @1.58v and under just dice about 30 times still no degrade as a matter of fact it keeps going higher each time since i was pussy footing the voltage at first.

Okay so today my 2x L680 died... private and moa sample, yesterday they were okay, I stopped benching and put them on a shelf (after drying). MOA sample resurrected after owen action, private still dead. Be careful, they seem fragile

What about Coldbug temps?
