Asus GTX 470 TRI SLI & Rampage III Extreme
First off many thanks to Asus for their contiued support. I've been off the map for a couple months due to 6 day 10 hours+ work schedule:(. Luckily all that overtime has provided the means for me to grab a few toys.:D All hardware are retail purchased from newegg, ewiz & microcenter.

Notes:
Motherboard & CPU
Cpu was kept around -120'c to -135'c I experienced no cold bug but sometimes it would not boot when -120'c or colder. Both the LN2 & Qpi LLC jumpers were set to enabled. I experienced no drop in vcore or vtt under load. Bios used was 402. Whatever voltage set in bios or windows resulted in .012-.025 variance in cpuz but when measured it was spot on at all times. ROG Connect was used as well as Turbo V which both worked flawlessly.
VGA
Asus Smart doctor allowed for voltage adjustment but would not allow overclocking of cores. I instead used msi afterburner which allowed total control of voltages up to 1.087v. Core clock adjustment was done by uping the shader clock. Direct control of the core clock was not possible. Asus Smart Doctor did allow for greater voltage adjustment but I played it safe due to air cooling.
Here a few 3DMark results. These are untweaked runs just pour n bench as I try to learn more about overclocking the board n Chip.
