liquid pro is the best but man it sux to open EACH VGA to change it uffff

[Ivanlabrie]

Killer setup man! Congrats on the score
Now, go get some universal waterblocks or something, having a 480 rad for a cpu only loop is criminal. :p

EDIT: And don't be lazy! CLP or CLU wipes the floor with regular tim for exposed dies, you know it.

I wonder if its gonna drop the temps (using a fixed fan speed) on a stock cooler..

see that white cable on the middle of VGA its a sensor that activates the Sanyo Denki San Ace at the back pulling a nice amount of air, but as i say im pretty scared to open each card to change for liquid pro

today i flashed my cards back to stock BIOS altough the auto boost to 1280 alone on stock volts wich is 1,2 (measured by multimeter) and can pass 3DM11 aint stable on games so i benched on STOCK rock solid settings and for my surprise having the cards from 1,195 - 1,2 load to 1,228 - 1,244 aint worth it, temps are great on games at stock and difference on bench see for yourself

2 card stock can go +700 one not, so i benched all at

1267core +500mem max load 1,2v max temp middle card 82C with auto fan, with custom profile its 76C but noise huh

I noticed something odd today, my bottom card which runs always 2-3c hotter ( due to my sound card covering a small portion of the intake ) is now running about 2-3 cooler BUT the clocks on it will move between 1189 to 1215 even if the temps are merely 60c. Im not sure whats wrong

You really hit the nail with another 680 but now you can't get away with temps! I like it, now go and grab blocks for threesome.
Nice!

Thanks Gorki mostly is noise as heat aint a issue gamming as LOAD is distributed on the 3 cards...i was thinkin to buy the EKs only GPU with triple sli bridge water connector they really look amazing and cheap

Cheers mate

well this babies went to water and oh man !!! difference is amazing i can game at 1320core on the 3 cards at 39C MAX load and bench unigine at 42C load










and...done !!!




unigine heaven 4.0 1293core +500mem was my first test, it runs even at 1320core thing that was impossible before due to heat

lucky b****** I'm realy jealous now , though I'm even more glad for you mate! I was curious how would these universal GPU blocks perform, I was considering one way back before (GPU raystorm). Judging by results I'm not sure is extra money worth of extra cooling on VRM too. Passive heatsink on memory also does good job. I'm not WC expert but I doubt you would get much more gain if you went with full block.
Maan now I have to do the same.... LOL


p.s I love PCB on those cards, sweet!

Cheers andressergio!

[lowfat]

Those cards look ridiculously good.

[andressergio]

Thanks to all for the comments this blocks cost 54 each i bought the acetal ones not nickel and man they are crazy good, it even come each with the correct amount of MX2 to apply wich i used

*Gorki my cards as u can see they already come with passive cooling on the phases on mem, it only took me 4 screws and the cooler came up

cheers to all !!!

thanks Olivon !!! even ppl from Galaxy where impressed when i talked to them on hardforum i guess they tested only stock i unlocked them using KGB and gives me 1,244 load wich i can game on the 3 at 1320 +700 on 2 and the third is not good on mem its +500

guess the TITAN mania made all forget of this beautifull piece of hardware, this GTX680's reminds me the 8800Ultras where such a beast

cheers !!!

Looking good!

My 7950 has those passive sinks there...hopefully in a couple of months I'll be able to wc and add a second card too! :p
