    Red face Reference GTX 580 cascade cooled - 1200MHz+



    Friday, 01.04.2011
    Moonman & tiborrr's first proper run on a reference 580 GTX. CBB & Vgpu mods we're working but the card was unfortunately tripping the over current protection. I believe this card has a potential for 1200-1220MHz GPU throughout the whole batch of 3DMarks We've used lithium based grease and closed-cell insulation (armaflex) for card's insulation. The newly tuned cascade, which is now equipped with Piotres' 52mm evaporator lineset, held the load very well.

    System:
    - Intel Ci7 2600K (D2)
    - Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3 (P67 Express)
    - 2x2GB Exceleram Red Culvert E30104A DDR3-1600 C6
    - nVidia reference GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 - Vgpu mod, Cbb mod
    - 8GB Team Combo SSD, 320GB Samsung F3
    - 750W Seventeam V-Force PSU
    Cooling:
    - CPU: mini single-stage (-30°C)
    - NB: stock - aircooled
    - GPU: tiborrr's D.I.Y. cascade (R-507/R-1150) @ -90°C

    Results:
    #6 3DMark2001SE: 124.419
    #60 3DMark03: 154.767
    #92 3DMark05: 51.277
    #48 3DMark06: 41.681
    #31 Aquamark3: 421.995

    The card before being greased up:


    Vgpu mod, later acompanied with CBB mod:

    Grease up those DVI ports dude!


    First boot, Moonman showing tiborrr the Vcore limits of his CPU :


    Frames by the end of 3DMark03's GT3.


    Still the no.1 benchmark, the 2001SE:


    I/O bracket and DVI ports freezing up despite being vented by heavy duty fans:

    Ha! Nice idea with the PCI-E ribbon I'm waiting on one to be delivered.... maybe we bought from the same Ebay guy?

    Nice results... I kinda expected 3D03 to be a little higher?

    It looks like that pci-e cable makes mounting the cascade much easier, killer runs guys

    ive always wondered does it hurt performance using a pci e extension cable?

    it should not. PCI-E is designed to have pretty long but stable lanes if necessary.

    tiborrr I admire your cascade setup -)
    You guys should definitely put that card under LN2!

    Good eye. I'm guessing they had a SS meant for GPUs and a cascade meant for CPUs
