Posted May 23, 201015 yr Hi all! ASUS Nordic or to be more exact, Kinc invited me and elmor to bench in their office. Idea of the benching weekend was to get used to GTX 480. We got 8 cards and first they were V modded and then tested separately on LN2. One of the mods were not correct and we lost a lot of valuable time and resources. In the end we did not get any high scores or the scores we wanted and estimated. Typical conversation was like this: "It should work, just trust me" and you can imagine where that took us :rofl: But in general, weekend was perfect and we got huge amount of very important experience and information, so this swedish duo can produce some nice scores in the near future. I have to say few words to GTX 480 - I hate you and I love you at the same time :shrug: Thanks ASUS and Marcus for the weekend. Hopefully we will do this again soon :up: Setup: ASUS Rampage III Extreme ASUS ROG 4-way SLI extension board ASUS GTX 480 x 8 Silverstone + OCZ PSU's Corsair GTX 2 memory SF3D OC Inflection point LN2 cooling Win 7 64-bit Here is some random 2D scores we did between 3D tests: Superpi 1M @ 6682MHz: Superpi 32M 6515MHz with medium efficiency: Pifast (WR) @ 6668MHz: Quite good, if you ask me Quick 3DM05: Vantage with single GTX 480 Vantage with 4- way SLI: We did not get more scores after that because all possible problems appeared like PSU failures etc. We used retail 980X with one memory stick and there was no cold bug. Even there was more than enough bad luck, first score is ok :up: Pictures frome weekend: That's all! New 4-way SLI scores will come soon from the dynamic duo :up:

May 23, 201015 yr Typical conversation was like this: "It should work, just trust me" I've heard that before haha
May 23, 201015 yr Crew yeah, excellent ! Thanks for the report Sorry couldn't attend this one, but I'm gonna make sure to be their for the next (Staying 2 years more in Sweden)
May 23, 201015 yr I've heard that before haha +1 awesome stuff from the nordics how many golden chips do you have sf3d? those clocks are awesome
May 24, 201015 yr wow that is an insane Q3FE very astonishing work as usual and keep it benching - 03 needs to be destroyed
May 24, 201015 yr Author Thanks a lot guys! ASUS is giving great support for overclockers. I got the Xpander board as well, so I can start to prepare homeruns. 4-way SLI is very powerful indeed, but GTX 480 is pain in the a**
