petri, just out of curiosity, why the hate and why the love for the 480?
hate = driver, love = hardware?
did you have problems with the memory getting too cold and not clocking well?
and how was the daughter board insulation wise? is it as much pain to insulate as it looks like or was it actually no problem at all?

i like the pictures
Thanks Sascha!

3 peoples is near perfect in this type of event. I agree on that.
The Xpander is actually more easy to insulate than any motherboard ever. There is no extra components and the cold will not spread to the motherboard. I like the solution very much. It is better to have separate board than a bit worse performance and hotter motherboard.

The hate goes to PCB and power design. It is not the best there is, but it can do the job anyway. Scaling is another thing which is not making me too happy. I am not able to bin cards, so high clocks are not so easy to achieve.

Yes, no cold issues with single card. -140C was the best operating temperature. Too bad that the cores were not the best around.
