Little OT but ,Do u have to be rich to buy FX-55 in USA ? At least if u live in Estonia like me , any regular person cant buy it because its way expensive. Like to know hows it in USA

^^^^^ In us its around 900$
But I'm looking forward to seeing some SLi benches from Opp and more from Macci in the near future :)
As long as you don't dabble in the 6600GT class, bring on the benches. I am anxious to see the results.
Would it be possible to run a chilled alcohol at say -40 through those tec blocks :confused:
Yes but if you have a liquid that cold you might as well throw out the tec's and run a sraight block.
Alright! OPP is joining the SLI action. Excuse me while I pull to the side of the road:)
Looking forward to some interesting results!
Yeah at -40C liquid it would be more effective to not use the TECs.Quote:

Water eh..........well i guess youve gotta get used to it first. But seriously, those guys on the top atm im sure can be taken down, true ln2 on the 2 gpus, but only a single stage on the cpu.....
Haha MAcci!! i knew it was only a matter of time before joining the SLI continuum. Nice is that stock air cooled score?
well well well... here he is :DQuote:

Left side of this resistor (+) and any ground for VGPU. Your voltage will increase once Windbloze loads the drivers so don't start too high. VR-Zone has a nice BIOS mod for an extra .1v also. I got my cards to 1.77 with pencil/BIOS mods.Quote:

Hey opp, I'm not sure I'd use those 80watt TEc's.
at 13.7V you're looking at about 70watts of cooling power. If you put any sort of load on these cards, I'm afraid the temps will skyrocket. I would look into some 172watt 24V pelts at 24V.
You're free to do what you want, I'd just hate to see you burn up those cards.
And if you try it with those 80watt TEc's, I hope I've drastically overestimated the 6800Ultra's power consumption on the core.
Just watch the card temps.
I would have to agree. My 50-T would not handle a X800XT under load at stock volts with 13+v on the TEC. The temp would slowly climb and not stop. And that was with water cooled to around 8 C by drawing cold outside air to rad.Quote:

yea 6800 ultra are about 75watts. That is 75 watts power consumption, not dissipation, im sure the heat disipation is no where near 80watts.
Wow ,that a nice not overclocked score ;) (great gt3)Quote:

Well here's the story:D
The MCW-T blocks worked OK, 16C Idle, from what I could tell they went up to 26C load or so.
#8 in 05 and #6 in 03
3D05
3D03
My memory ran good, 1300s, the core on the other hand sucked, 470. I need to test each card seperatly and see if one card is a dog or somthing, if so I'll have to replace it.
I didn't use the mods, the cards were hot enough as it was.
Next will be with cascade cooling, an extra 100C of cooling should take care of bussiness.
