Thats a super special dcu2 :D
so AndreY's paste is the same as Frostbite?
thanks Deux :D
my gpu core sucks...retested and can't get it higher than 1520.....
so i tried unigine...but unigine wrapper duped
i think this is World_Record_Fail_checksum_FAiled:ROTF:
i love this lightning :D

so i tried this paste one hour ago...mounted perfectly...
as soon as clocks were applied...bam....i hate that paste..lol
you guys aren't using it so i won't mention it for now....lol
if it cracks don't mention it ever!
Have anyone got any problems with LN2 bios?
For me card worked well under -70 - -100c and ran shmootly 1200MHz gpu clocks, then i started cool it more and when i had -125c pot temp i got grey screen during 3dmark11 test.
And for now allways when windows loads nvid drivers it does grey,blue or somekind freeze.
Tested with normal bios and worked well with it.
So is that some known problem and could it be worth try to flash new bios on it?
sember your paste froze already...grey screen indicates bad mount.
i used antec formula 7. it never popped just silently lost contact.
+ - 1200 core benching FTW!
that paste isn't "good" for the comp.. tried it twice...it froze badly...
But that grey and blue screen came even when i reassembled the pot on gpu, thats not bad mount anymore and with stock bios it worked well.
Card have been lying on my closet fev days now, gotta try tomorrow again if it works now, if not then i try to flash that LN2 bios again.
Can someone maybe send me the bios and give me right code for flashing it, just remember last time when i had "old code" and somthing went wrong. Or it was maybe X58 classified board problem.
Lightning LN2 bios is available at HWbot coldslow-bios thread :)
ME4ME, did you manage to find a trick to bench >1450MHz with IHS removed? I'm still struggling :(
my card can't handle much more than that it seems .. so i wouldn't know :P
but ill be benching with Jonas - the mean machine - this weekend and test some more cards.
ill let you know.
I guess some are lucky with their cores mine just really max out @ 152x, I'll check batch code and post here.
1530mhz was doable but memory gets buggy.
no degradation so far with full pot lol
I solved mine problem, it wasnt bios or driver reladet at all. All went back normal when i just uninstalled afterburner and used different version O.o
Pretty weird, but atleast i found way to solve that freezin issue. Just to know if someone else is having that or somthing.
Still i wasnt able to get any GOOD result in 11mark, this is best wich i had:

Bad performance i think -.-
1400/1300 run failed on last compined test when temps went up to -145c and it crashed. I used gelid xtreme paste and for me it worked best on -120c and after that it started crackin allways. (Tryed 4 times)
Dunno if slim pot is the problem for me, atleast it was damn hard to keep it even -120c with that when u have to keep pot almost full on load and empty during loadin tests :P
cracking is part tim issue and another thing. 1400 is hard. so good job :D
Is really hard to mount and bench (find the good parameters)...
Just tryed lots of TIM and lots of "POPS"...blue, grey, green screen...
We found a new another issue...
VGA can pass 1530...1535... but always freeze in Physics test
http://i53.tinypic.com/2hfqsf6.png
I need to keep the temperature low enough and when physics test starts, the GPU activity greatly decreases, causing RAM freezing.
It has been very difficult to control it, but either way is an excellent card.
Worst of all is to be achieving good results and hear the crack (POP ).... then even if "reheat" at higher temperatures, never stays the same and the ideal is to disassemble and reassemble
:(
Congratz Honda...i think you go to TW
Used mixed TIM
i found out some tim, if you heat it up after a good mount. it doesn't work well. just a tip: on some tim, don't heat up
ronaldo
we both know team.pure has 12k :D
but im still benching these 2 days...i still need to sleep though lol
Honda...you are a really good overclocker and lucky guy too... lol
In my big country (Brazil), we just have Artic Silver 5 and ceramique...LN2 about 6~7 USD per liter and LN2 impossible at weekends
I have only 15 lts Ln2 and no good thermal to test (used mixed OCZ freeze + Ceramique when i got 1530 Mhz).
Does anybody knows about "Liquid Pro" to extreme (VGA)???....
My friend told me can give me one to test a lit bit more....but almost sure I am out MOA this year.
@ronaldo
as5 sucks
ceramique is ok, if applied correctly, but its no match against power tims
@chris
with team.pure anything is possible, just makes me more crazy competing against the best.
I wonder what e-killer is hiding ... :D
2nd gpu has coldbug @ -180c 15xx doable
no fun and no good result lol:rofl:
