If you have time, try also OCZ Freeze without IHS from what I saw Freeze is better at the same temp (at least on Gulftown).

**ME4ME** · 07-20-2011, 07:05 AM

Freeze don't works without IHS to bad heat transmission can't go past 1300 MHz like all the others else then Gelid

**canna1988** · 07-20-2011, 09:00 AM

Nothing, as i said before the ceramique 2 is not the good way

**ME4ME** · 07-20-2011, 11:56 AM

Just tested OCZ Freeze, without IHS.
Even tho me and elmor have tested this many times (with bad results), today it worked much better.
I just used a very very thin layer, and spread it with the little plastic thingy shipped with the Gelid paste.

Contact was superb, and so the results where quite good too.
Temps and clocks matched the results from earlier today with the Gelid paste.
Freeze doesnt freeze quite as early as Gelid tho, and -135 was fine. Colder = cracks.
But -135 was enough to easily do 1450, while it crashed 10 seconds into GT4 3d11 at 1500mhz. Then ran out of LN2.

Need to do (even) more testing

**Splave** · 07-20-2011, 11:59 AM

^ very promising results
where did all these monster lightnings come from

**Hondacity** · 07-20-2011, 12:20 PM

you just need to do ocp mod

**SeMbEr** · 07-20-2011, 12:51 PM

Have anyone tried normal Gelid GC1 paste? I have one of those here, maybe worth of try on weekend

I will order some of new Gelid and IC7 if i just can get those here before weekend -.-

**Hazzan** · 07-20-2011, 02:28 PM

I tested 5 pcs this card and I think all 580 Lightning have capable for run 1400 but for higher than 1400 need some trick and learn....and of course good card/bacth

I ran at MOA without IHS and with Freeze. Worked alright, 1425/1365 if I'm not mistaken.

I have some thermal paste I might start selling that is alright though, from what I've heard, it's not for sale anywhere (comes from an OEM).

**SeMbEr** · 07-22-2011, 02:20 AM

What afterburner you guys use with lightning btw? MOA version or some other?

**Hondacity** · 07-22-2011, 02:22 AM

2.2b5

**loopy83** · 07-22-2011, 03:15 AM

PM me if you want new version AB xtreme without change system date.

**matose** · 07-23-2011, 09:09 AM

Tried a couple of TIM's yesterday and today on GTX580 Lightning without IHS:

- Gelid GC-Extreme: 3DMark2011 @ 1425MHz with 1.47v @ -120
- Homight taiwanese silver paste (from Andre): 3DMark2011 @ 1370MHz with 1.47v @ -190

Will try OCZ Freeze because it was excelent on the R6970 Lightning, the contact was so good that the pot barely could handle the heat!

worked good for me. 1525mhz 3d11 1.75v @ -195(load -186)

**Hondacity** · 07-23-2011, 05:29 PM

1.75v .... must be pulling 1000watts

**Deux** · 07-23-2011, 05:35 PM

Worked well for me also, 1550 through 11 @1.52v -179 base temps
