Reference GTX 580 cascade cooled - 1200MHz+

Friday, 01.04.2011
Moonman & tiborrr's first proper run on a reference 580 GTX. CBB & Vgpu mods we're working but the card was unfortunately tripping the over current protection. I believe this card has a potential for 1200-1220MHz GPU throughout the whole batch of 3DMarks :up: We've used lithium based grease and closed-cell insulation (armaflex) for card's insulation. The newly tuned cascade, which is now equipped with Piotres' 52mm evaporator lineset, held the load very well.

System:
- Intel Ci7 2600K (D2)
- Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3 (P67 Express)
- 2x2GB Exceleram Red Culvert E30104A DDR3-1600 C6
- nVidia reference GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 - Vgpu mod, Cbb mod
- 8GB Team Combo SSD, 320GB Samsung F3
- 750W Seventeam V-Force PSU
Cooling:
- CPU: mini single-stage (-30°C)
- NB: stock - aircooled
- GPU: tiborrr's D.I.Y. cascade (R-507/R-1150) @ -90°C

Results:
#6 3DMark2001SE: 124.419
#60 3DMark03: 154.767
#92 3DMark05: 51.277
#48 3DMark06: 41.681
#31 Aquamark3: 421.995

Grease up those DVI ports dude!

Ha! Nice idea with the PCI-E ribbon :) I'm waiting on one to be delivered.... maybe we bought from the same Ebay guy? :D

Nice results... I kinda expected 3D03 to be a little higher?

very nice thread!

Can see you put allot of effort into it :).

No vmem mod? also because of the stories of it dying?

Hi together !!

Nice Results !

Please let me know where i can buy this pci-e cable ! :)

It looks like that pci-e cable makes mounting the cascade much easier, killer runs guys:clap:

It's good to see you clocking again :D

I can't believe you just destroyed my 2x 4870x2 score with a Wolfy under LN2 using a single GPU :( Very nicely done :up:

Always nice and tweaked :yepp: well done friends :up:

ive always wondered does it hurt performance using a pci e extension cable?

it should not. PCI-E is designed to have pretty long but stable lanes if necessary.

tiborrr I admire your cascade setup -)
You guys should definitely put that card under LN2!

nice card and setup, me likes :)

F3b bios seems best for you guys performance wise?

Woah, I thought all you guys knew how to do over there was mow hay, ya RLY! :p:

Nice job guys. Hey Niko, why did you put a 90° evap on the SS?

Good eye. I'm guessing they had a SS meant for GPUs and a cascade meant for CPUs :D

Really great results and enjoyable thread, nice photos too.
I have had good experience with the PCI-E extension cable too :)
