2008 XS Cheapazchips 3D challenge

[zakelwe]

Yeah, people would kill for those memory clocks. Actually it's turning out quite nice because there is a good mix of people with one or the other so is balancing.

Very nice score, popped you back at the top I know G H Z is fairly competitive so his claim of "I cannot bench much more" is what I'd expect him to claim before he benches like a mofo


I've got some pictures of my new heatsink modified to fit on the half height card.

Close observers will spot where I trimmed it on one side to fit the motherboard. For people who have not spotted it, it is the side closest to the camera.

Here it is on the motherboard

Have to prop it up on the keyboard so it boots.

Here's the reverse of the card, lots of duct tape

check the pot, I like mine at least 1 inch above the PCB waving about with duct tape so it does not short. If only Kingpin or hipro new these sorts of tricks eh?

The BIOS reads low but the 780i nvidia chipset still is pretty warm.

Finally, one of the advantages of benching in a shed

After that I watch the moon and the stars come out and it is pretty magical some nights.

It's REAL nature at LOD 0 and looks great.
