Â 1300/1850 is the max of this. 1310/1850 passes but lower score, or freeze just at the end now onto the 2k11 just for fun. that bench is absolutely RAM mhz limited ...

Perica_barii Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Or use tin cooper plate ( EK produce one ) between pot and gpu itself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaruwrc Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If you want to run 7970 on LN2, you have to remove the shim  not as easy when you have to keep warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Use copper plate - 0.5mm thick, I did with it 1750+ on my golden lightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruwrc Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Use copper plate - 0.5mm thick, I did with it 1750+ on my golden lightning  tried that too. the problem was with the cores actually as they sucked anyway with the copper plate you have to be really careful to have a good mount you have a badass card. i would give my half arm for a 1600mhz benchable one -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
