Dinos22 = tease
keep it coming dino! Looks alright. I can also live with 1250. But thats minimum mem requirements :P.
sucks that it doesn't scale with volts... 1.24v and 1350core looks promising for 1.6v. If it can handle it.
get that mod!
Dino, put some load to GPU. HWbot Unigine heaven would be the best program for that purpose.
If you use those very light 3D programs like 01 and 03, you can not say much about real cold handling. The cold issues come when you are 1400MHz+ and too cold with very hard load.
My card did 1500MHz 3DM11 at -140C so they does not need full pot if contact is good.
Waiting to see more..
i have to run full pot otherwise it will crash, this card is nothing like what you have man
as i said already i will bench it when i get a bloody cbb mod then i'll see how it goes in unigine and vantage
vivi i've tested higher volts but it didnt seem to make a difference
dinos
unigine @ 1350mhz core...done?
Honda im putting whatever ive done so far in the thread, work in progress heh
got a few mods incoming but no LN2 till next week, one of the mods is for CBB :up:
sad to see that Gigabyte and ASUS still need Hardmods on thier Extreme-OC VGA's ...
i agree:up:Quote:

I heard Matrix and CuII are almost identical? Matrix just has more pretty LEDs.....
Or has there been some PCB work done on it since then?
I have no idea really, but I think everything is software controlled, so no need to mod anything. There should be some other improvements as well.Quote:

Ok we will see what the Matrix can do.Quote:

I wish me a Lightning with some GPU high Leakage binning :shocked:
More powerphases, and then, as you mentioned lid logo :p:Quote:

true would be nice not to have to do any but hey yanking a resistor to get CBB sorted is not really a tough mod, the rest is addressed via extreme bios. I also asked for vpll mod which isnt part of xtreme bios and also core voltage offset to test whether its better than bumping volts from stock to whatever i needQuote:

The ocp switch 'unlocks' OCP from 500A to 550A.
Benchbros ran 1600 03 without ocp mod. Mods only needed if you're insecure or from 1600 and up.
1650 @ 1.53V with low GT4 FPS :rofl: realy a high Leakage oneQuote:

but now we have another good one, 1600+ Full 3DMark03 with suitable FPS
nearly same voltages but realy hard to handle coz of Memory CB independed from vMEM :shakes:
can confirm CBB mod works beautifully even with -185 on the core if you crash
i've done the OCP mod as well which pushes it now to 1000A not that you'll ever see that sort of load lol
mods are dead easy even ur grandma can do them

havent done the LLC mod but it will be handy as there is droop, later
had a fail session but noticed that once i crashed first time clocks and everything just went downhill from there, during initial test crashed past half way in 03 nature with 1.25v on core at 1400Mhz core -120C and then it was really crap no matter what change just couldnt get anyrthing past 1300, 1250 vantage GT2, nothing worth posting yet. Looks primising just have to work out how to bench it. Got some ideas from the godfather of overclocking himself (masbo) so will try to see how that goes next time :D
popped the lid also so that will be interesting (card still works too :rofl:)

It's a...."shame" the GPU thermal shutdown has to be in-place for day to day users. It would be sweet if the thermal recognition was tuned properly and "hot" & "cold" were split, so genuine hot could still be protected against but there was no limit on cold
Edit...... or even a jumper to disable part of/ the whole circuit
i seem to have some sort of frequency wall i cant figure out how to pass
im maxing out at 1300 core in both 3DMARK11 and 3dmark03/05 i tried :confused:
this was done with 1.38v loaded -160c, it can run full pot just during initial testing used this and didnt really make any difference going colder :shrug:
1300 is nice but wtf why cant i get 03 to run stable at 1350 lol

paste made a difference for me...
vgpu also...
i did hear the cracking at -160 once actually like some described but its too loud to be paste crackingQuote:

1394mhz for 03... -130ish http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...0_160672_marks
was benching fine at -130sh...then went too cold(-150ish)....i couldn't do 1394mhz again...
tried rosewill sh*t.........lol that sh*t is bad...i can't even do 1300mhz on it...
so i went back to my thermaltake paste... verified its good..
i got antec f7 coming...
and some silicone based tim...
have you tested 3DMARK11 with your card, what are your max core clocks on it?
