soory pr@$r1g wont be able to compete with you this time Got a 980x watercooled workstation/gaming/cruncher rig in the work but maybe later i could squeeze in a gtx470 and see what i can do and do another fun comp with you. hd5770 comp was fun and i might try it with the 980x back since i got a waterblock for it. I could maybe take back my spot

snoro those days were good , u holding a 980x & watercooled too

As I dont have any kind of watercooling / i may not be able to compete

anyway nice rig , i wish i could have gone for an upgrade ......

But hey i will do my best

I have recently seen an interesting review with power consumption comparison on air and water for the 2 480 cards in SLI.

At full load (furmark) cards under water used 124W less than on air!

This difference is for the whole system so it's not exactly just the cards - the system under water has 2 less delta fans to run but has pumps + bunch of rad fans, but obviously this number is far more useful than just the chip usage.

Here's the google-translated link for those interested in the topic:

Hi guys am happy to say that am a proud owner of a ZOTAC 480 GTX at the time I thought of buying a POV series cos it was cheaper but the guys on Scan took too long to send me one and decided to cancel the order now I regreat it as it looks like is the best one hardware wise that is ... http://i39.tinypic.com/157c4n.jpg I can see that the POV series has higher bandwidth, texture and pixel even the Palit series http://home.btconnect.com/fiskov/images/480oc.gif compared to the ZOTAC http://benchmarkreviews.com/images/r...Video_Card.png so anyway I was wondering whats the highest OC you can do with the card without Voltages and and also what would be the highest OC Voltages could get ya with out burning the chip I would be getting a GPU waterblock ...

Quick run with extra juice. I'm going to have to beef up my w/c loop soon. Might try the latest 197.75 drivers later.

So how much voltages are you using?? and you know if it the zotac GTX 480 can handdle it?

[Factotum]

My EVGA 470 SC with OliverM84's bios (1.15V):

1.175V - and kick voltage in load =(( I need remove OVP

[GanGstaOne]

can someone send me link for the fermi bios editor pls

[cowie]

im cold right now with my 470 on dice with an olli unlock bios...not much brewing over 950ish no matter how many volts.....getting pauses in gt4 03 killing my score....same with 06 sm3.0 second test.
temps in the -50 ,-30 post load

first boot temps


3d03 940/1100 1.137...was the lowest i needed



at 950-1050 it was putting up good numbers.
gt4 then the party was over .

[death]

its a pity u cant release the prog since to get u hands on the new nibitorv5.6 u have to chip in and its like $25 a go as i read on another forum + im getting the feeling that modding the bios to let u have 1.2 v on the core needs other setting changed as well that or its been controled by the driver once we find out what is controling it we can set about changeing it that way msi affterburner will do the rest

[Funkwagen]

How are you guys keeping these 470s cool at those speeds....Im getting like 95c with the core speed set to like 625mhz

Watercooling

Watercooling

What he said. You only need a GPU block, the stock coldplate will take care of the rest even at 1.21V... My card maxes out at around 940Mhz core and 2218 mem (max in nVidia Inspector) @ 48C max. Funny thing is, i'm running my GTX480 ay 900Mhz and 1.08V 24/7 but it takes 1.17V to hit 925Mhz and 1.21V at 935Mhz...

It prolly takes DICE or LN2 to get it to bench at 950Mhz+, or there's a voltage somewhere that needs bumping other than VGPU...
