More results with ASUS GTX580 DirectCU II

[quake6]

Nice one Splave SLI soon?

[Splave]

Dang Splavezowner!! How does she do in Vantage?

1450 so far but I have some tricks now

Quake, Thanks man! SLI is tomorrow. I need to pll mod my other card, really helps alot.

[Dumo]

Nice run Splave

[elmor]

Great run Al! We've not seen any gains from PLL here, what effect does it have for you?

[youngpro]

Havnt seen any PLL gains here, only briefly tested but didn't seem to help with temps or stability

How is it helping you sp?

[Mean Machine]

I figured I'd join in too.

Nice hardware!

Excellent work Jonas!

[G H Z]

Yep good result Jonas.

[noxon]

Nice mate
Nanok and I just got a lot of troubles, seems like a boring 580 CUII we got

Yep good result Jonas.

Thank you very much.

I'm not dissatisfied at my own effort at least this far. You guys still have till friday to get things working, I'm sure you'll figure something out.

I seem to have a bad one also... spent about 40 liters on it... has some real problems with voltage and core clocks..

Over 1.45 and over 1200, will not work.... lower voltage up to 1297 was the max.... pretty disappointing... Have another all modded....hopefully its not as bad as the other..

Unless I raise PLL my card will not accept over -125c while idle in win7. Crashes the display driver

Tried to play more heaven yesterday but 1450/1358 seems to be the best it will do. Test 16 crashes over 1.6v ever time.


Trying 2nd card today. All potted and ready to go

You poor thing.... rofl.... I hate you.... rofl....

Good luck on the 2nd card...

[hipro5]

For my brother Vince........
I'm coming.....

[George_o/c]

Guess who's back, back again

[Hondacity]

Oh yeah!

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

uh oh

[Punisher!]

OMG 1,5Ghz clock? o_O

[elmor]

For my brother Vince........
I'm coming.....

Good to see you back in the game George! Insane card

[junior-21-]

what will this card clock like in others 3Ds? 1700+?

[subaruwrc]

Finally! Waiting for your results soo long Hipro5 !

F(l)uck you! Where's 1700+ 03 georgie?

@steponz what psu are you using? there seems to be a very heavy issue with multi rail psu - past 1.4 or 1.45 = epic fail. Seems that the beast named "580 GTX CUII" will eat more than 35A on every 12V rail on every 8-Pin. I haven't seen a multi rail PSU that can handle the card in any way.

a work around for new enermax PSUs (e.g. 1250 Revolution85+):

- use an adaptor to make 2x 8 Pin of several rails going to 1x 8 Pin
- do that with 4 separated 12V-rails
- so you have 4 rails going on 2x 8 Pin = 120A / 60 A per channel --> that is enough up to 1.6V+
- use the 5th rail for CPU and Board

Additionally - did anybody figured out the "crack bug" yet? After Cebit stummerwinter and me was of the opinion it is not the thermal paste and the cooler itself that makes that sound but the heatspreader and the gpu-core - any thoughts? we could hear something similar on 990X fullpot with the same issues afterwards so it might not be the paste it might be the hs and die...

[oanvoanc]

i got the same issues (cracking noise) with arctic silver ceramique and as 4 on gulftown cpus when cooling down too fast.
as this is offtopic i suggest pm

Looking good hipro, welcome back

Combination containers (CU+ALU) have different shrink/expansion rates between the two materials. Under extreme cooling those differences are greatly magnified, that crack or snap is friction between the two parts of the container. If you had a sound of that magnitude originating from the GPU core/IHS, you wouldn't have a working card anymore.

No definitly not - we are talking about full CU containers here. but as the hs is ALU (???) and container is CU - maybe there's your problem? do we need to build ALU containers then? Now that would be

After that "crack" the card won't run 1300 anymore (after passing 1600+ 03 GT3 &4 before), maybe 1200 when you are lucky. after warm-up and remount --> 1600+ again...I can tell you that was PITA during cebit ^^

@oanvoanc I don't think that's OT - that's one of the basics you need to know about CUII and it would be my pleasure to speak about that in public and togehter with thoose guys who maybe have the most experience with CU II. If more ppl. think this is not of major interest, ok I'll go pm then
