GTX 680 OC - Result-Thread --- Post your results here

[cowie]

There is a review or two up of the MSI lightning

http://www.guru3d.com/article/msi-ge...htning-review/
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/M...680_Lightning/

so it looks like good old ab will be good for tri voltage and monitoring but its not working yet
I hope they allow up to atleast 1.35v,never know some tricks may be able to be used for more but i think 1.35ish is around the minimum that would truely help for higher clocks on the 680 chips.

Very nice...

[aussie-revhead]

MrTooShort - is that DCuII vmodded? Or is that how well they clock stock? Very nice either way.

Nice cpu score too.

Cowie - yeah mate, does anyone know how far the unmodded Lightning will go with vgpu? If it can do 1.3+ without soldering and VR's then that would be great. But that might be reserved for the XE right?

Thanks guys

No volt mod. Card has a waterblock and backplate from EK. The backplate adds to the vrm cooling which this card needed compared to the stock cooler. The memory chips are ran passively also too on the stock cooler. The waterblock helped me get around 25Mhz core and 100Mhz memory more OC compared to stock cooling. Pretty much a waste of money getting the waterblock for the gains, but I wanted to have a watercooled gpu to go with my set up.

Great score mrtooshort

@
aussie

not sure but one guy said 1.26v that he read with his dmm but as i said not sure at all.
I dont know a thing yet about ab limits or stock voltage,but dcII is so easy to mod its just like software.
I'm so lame i did not even use solder on 1 card,bridged pad with conductive pen pushed wires thuogh the holes and held with a tad of putty connected the vrs with a two pin conector for fast removal or install...just the resister i had to remove that defaced the card really.
i play bf3 at 1400 but have @1450 too with no crashes at all 1.38-40v

The lightning will be mine soon so i will have info to share and see if a can get some voltage tricks working on it.

I received a Signature SC+ today but am disappointed to see it maxed out at 1273mhz ..... so I bought a Lightning

MrTooShort - what do you do to get 17k cpu score? What rams are you using mate?

Corsair Dominator GT 4x4gb @2133MHz 1.5v

Are these the current type?

[Circaflex]

are backplates on these necessary? do they add any performance or just bling? my bench table lets my card sit upright so i dont know if i even need one

Are these the current type?

Yep, but I run them @2400MHz 1.7v

[cowie]

took about 10c off my temps with a h70 i modded to fit one of my volt modded dcII's
1,38v 1430 boost max 53c in a 67f room i played for a few hours

[cowie]

More bf3 wake
1.40v 1450 boost i put a 220 cfm on the h70 was cooler here in jersey too i think i maxxed out at 43c-44c

Nice Cowie !

Hardmod ?

[cowie]

Yes i have two hard modded

[Booj]

2.2.3 Afterburner is up, supports 680 Lightning and 670 Power Edition.

Go hard boys, show us what these cards can do

[muskel]

mrTooShort and Cowie,

How did you voltmod your cards ? Did you just solder the indicated pad and remove resistor or did you also attach variable resistor for PLL,VMEM and VCORE ? I have the GTX680 DCUII TOP.

I have a result for you guys:

P13011

Thats unmodded, LN switch, 2.2.3 Afterburner, water cooled with an EK VGA Supreme universal vga block.

As you might guess, I am very happy with the result, 1442mhz

[cowie]

nice run there man

i'd think with +100mv in ab and ln2 bios your about 1.35v which is not bad and good for 24/7 with your cooling.
I dont have one so the info about voltage is from another user

[Manicdan]

whats "LN switch"?

[Splave]

^Ln2 bios switch

Thanks mate I have not checked it with dmm as I know it won't be excessive, AB says its 1.30 peak. I am struggling to get good CPU clocks ATM but I did a better run at 1450 last night, I will submit it on hwbot after work.

[cowie]

Will you guys do me a favor and tell me some tricks for 3d11 it hates me my clocks are stable and higher then some but my as5 is off 500 on the gpu side and freakin thuosands on the physics side .
The only game in town with a 680 is 3d11 too that sucks

cowie - post up a screenshot along with details of your rig so we can help.

My new PB is 13186

3960x @5.1GHz GTX680 @1470MHz:

Card is hotwired and I'm running the voltage from the motherboard's bios. Voltage ~1.37v

[m4gg0t]

finally joined the 680 club. have my msi gtx 680 lightning running @ 1320/7008 and so far it seems stable and really fast. but i dont think that running the mem that high 24/7 is a good thing??

now i'm offended by you and mrts scores... you hackers

I got a sbe 3930k on a rive new w7(24/7 os) sli 680 cards are at 1400 or so and the chip 4.8 duel channel ram 2200ish for the run in this link
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3989108
even when i get the chip @ 5.3 it will only be 15,5k physics
