Yup - exactly, mine is sitting on my shelf for now ;)

OC_Windforce
Saw your name and thought you'd be locked up at Devil's Island by now..:rofl:
Made me think of that movie:
It's Alive!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071675/
Notice the storyline, OH so fitting!:ROTF:
The Davies expect a baby, which turns out to be a monster with a nasty habit of killing when it's scared. And it's easily scared.

I like the yellow, makes it look dangerous....

LN2 it asap bro :D

nice! 6GB when ? :)

Great results OC_Windforce! :clap:

May I ask, that you ran your bench with the BIOS switch on ORIGINAL or LN2 setting?

is there an ocp mod for this?

Thats just beautiful, if anyone water cools one of these please let us know if it clocks any better.

:D

@Hondacity

No.. However, the action was during the LN2 test OCP
Thanks friend ;)

@aussiu-revhead
Thanks bro~!!

ah good information man. thanks

When LN2 tests do you plug in the GPU Reactor (It is very important.)
And...In my&Gyrock case, less than -60 degrees, will freez after the start of the bench.

Thank you so much my friend :up:

Thanks for information and nice results buddy.

Christian

Hoping to pick one of theses up next week

How far can I go with the voltage via Afterburner?

1.8v on the core

Do you try adding +100 AUX?

Here is my settings for 1650/1900 (CPU is at 5ghz sorry for blocking it)
http://i.imgur.com/ivSDA.jpg

Pot at -95c GT1 / -85c GT2 GT3 / -80c GT4 / -75c Physics / -78c Combined
If pot is colder then -78c during physics it freezes the screen but combined needs a little bit more cold to pass

Thanks man!
Without any mods, just taking the oc-BIOS?

1.8v is only released for ln2 benchers.

how do you mean this?
I can switch the bios if I want, or not?
Or do you mean the Afterburner? If so...it doesn't matter!

try add aux ..but, Does not change... :D
My skill is to lack. :mad:
Thanks splave

not your skill perhaps your card :)

5ghz on cpu no OCP on card at that speed, 5.5ghz on cpu I get OCP GT4 every time...drops voltage to .125 till I power cycle psu.
I will see if I can get OCP mod and will post here.

Thanks for imformation :up:

getting my 7970L later.. hope for a good clocker! :)

this one is pretty nice :D

http://i.imgur.com/AOD7N.jpg

-105c for gt1 -100c for gt2&gt3 -95c for gt4 and physics must be above -90c and combined -92c
1.67vGPU 1.825vMEM +100AUX

very efficient run, and cpu is still not maxed:)

excellent work Splave.

what should be possible under water? Ek is building a cooler!
My water is @ 14°C...other, I mean reference cards, can run 1400 with that...should a lightning be able to do that too?

^ probably not they are meant for ln2 and sometimes do not clock as well on air/water

How are your asics?
So you mean...I should look for a good reference one?

great works bro!!!! :up:

I tested mine card with cold water (idle 10c and max 21c core)
On air my card was maxed 1.2vcore 1200MHz and more vcore didnt help me at all.

On water it turned out 1.3vcore was okey and max clocks were 1350Mhz. (Tested only with 3dmarks)


Hope that info helped u a bit.
Every card wont scare even that much i think but this card could do pretty well with ln2 :)

Mine runs well with 1200...under air and stock cooling...know I'll test a bit with 100% fan!

could you read out your asic?
Mine is comparable...1200 maxed with air...I think water should help a bit, but not much!

Thanks OC for the pics, I didn't know you could post pr0n @ XS ;)

Just bought one, coming from newegg. Here's hoping it is a good clocker :)

i know this is an old thread, but....
does anyone get gray/black+white stripe screen with greater than 1.6 ~ 1.65v ??
also, colder than -70c and it starts to flicker black screen every 1 or 2 seconds..
using no-ocp ln2 bios from msi

i get red artifacts on the stock cooler when im pushing it.

boost edition user here.

thats normal, if your doing it right you will have a black screen, sometimes adding AUX will allow more cold to the card.
I usually go around -110c 1.68v but depends on card ofcourse.

Gray/black+white screen I get when card is not cold enough.

hmm i thought 1900 was a "normal" result for 1.7v. not much experience with 7970's (only have 1 and its not even a lightning)

thats besides the point i guess... just wanted to chime in the artmoney hack works with 7970 as well. if anybody wants, i have saved a file that relates directly to vcore on afterburner 2.2.0 if anybody is interested ;)

Can you please direct me to this file? I would love to go above 1.35v as my lightning's droop pretty bad (.07-.08 under load).

Does anyone else have experience with this?
