GTX580: 1.025VID: 950/1900/2300: stock cooler: guaranteed?!?

[Punisher!]

Hi guys! I don't get it... is your GTX580s @ 1.025v or 1.125v?

Hi Alexxx, or did you dl this version of AB ( 1.225v) .

Hi guys! I don't get it... is your GTX580s @ 1.025v or 1.125v?

1.025 stock voltage. The overclocks you are seeing are being achieved with higher voltage.

happy new year guys! nice clocks ^ watercooling setups ^

just dropped by to leave an update.. idk where to start.. had several issues to overcome

- flow sorted after installing an eheim 1250 water pump between the gpus and cpu and another eheim 1250 between the rest of the water blocks and radiators
- added a second radiator to the loop - one is air cooled by a silent 360mm fan and the other is submerged in water - can sustain higher loads + lower temp now
- gpus were recapped for a 3rd and final time - perfectly balanced capacitance now - no whine from gpus nor psu - first recap produced xtreme whining from psu even @ 2x psus and had lost system stability
- stable system now
- i got areca 1231 raid card water cooled - the whole system is water cooled except psu
- the only issue i still have is tri-sli but for now am sticking to sli cause its going great



im playing nfs hot pursuit/metro/cod black ops @ 950/2500 sli @ absolute max 1080p settings

to run 1ghz i need more vgpu i was wondering if someone would be willing to share unlocked afterburner

i will respond to pms later tonight

oh sb ^ nice!

here afterburnervoltunlock , tested on AB 2.10 beta 5

merci.. it didnt work though but its ok

well guys after i pushed more vgpu i was playing nfs @ 1025core/2400 but metro just didnt want to cooperate so i tryed lower voltages and went as low as you see below 1.125vgpu the 3rd recap that i performed yesterday morning came thru at last this recap i planned from the beginning but to get here i took other routes but in the end its all worked out beautifully

heres how afterburner looks right after playing metro @ 1000/2350/1.125vgpu sli

[cole2109]

Just 1.125V DAMN

[Gaul]

oh sb ^ nice!

thx, max on v1.15 v

Anyone knows the difference between the asus bios 70.10.12.00.01 and 70.10.17.00.01?

This is what I was able to pull from mine:


Required 1.154v and had to push pcie to 120 for it be stable (if I go to 121 it won't recognize my HDDs )

I hadn't test just one card yet.

[bro20000]

Unlocked voltage i think!

[donmarkoni]

Is there any news on NiBiTor 6?

BTW, one Vantage run for those who like pictures (like me ):

well guys this is the issue that ive been having with the 1.025vid tri-sli

erratic spiking temp on the 3rd 1.025vidder.. just 2d idle spikes 10c over the other two

had i known its this bad i wouldve rmaed but since its been modified warranty gone

what you guys think it is?? its behaving just like a poor contact.. poor contact between the heatspreader and chip??

all else has been exhausted im at wits end i got no other choice but to remove the heatspreader

this is after playing metro for a few minutes

[Slyde]

Does anyone think my 920 @ 200 bclk turns into a bottleneck with my 580 @ 1015/2200 during Mark11? I'm curious because Vantage and Heaven scores seem pretty good but eleven seems
poor compared to a lot of scores I see here. Just looking for opinions...

When you push your gpu overclock too far, benchmark scores will start going down before you get crashing.

Good point, I'll back it off a bit and try some runs. Thanks

Looks like a poor contact. It spikes probably when the load is heavy.
I don't see any switches or jumper, but just to ask, can you disable PCI-E slots and run just 3rd card alone? That way full load will be on that one and it should overheat fast (watch for it, of course).
Or you can just squeeze it with your fingers (block over the GPU) and see if it gets better.

It seems like from 950 to 1018, the scores scale upward until the card crashes. It just doesn't play well with Mark11 I think.

I got my ASUS GTX580 on 900/4400 with 1.163V in Afterburner and GPU-Z says 1.121 - 1.129V used, which one is leading for alteration in the bios or what should i enter in the bios?
