**=[PULSAR]=** · 04-26-2010, 04:02 PM

Just got my 980X in this afternoon after some testing this is what you should expect on air. I used WCG for loading purposes, these were also P95 stable.

Testing Setup
Ambient 19.5C
Intel 980x (Batch #3003A885)
Thermalright Ultra eXtreme w/MX-2
Scythe Slip Stream 1900rpm 113cfm(PUSH CONFIG)
eVGA E760
eVGA GTX295
Corsair Dominator GT 6GB(3x2GB) 2000mhz (7-8-7-20)
Corsair HX1000
Lian-Li A-71B

CPU

980x Stock Speed IDLE

980x Stock Speed LOAD

980x 4400mhz IDLE

980x 4400mhz LOAD

4.4ghz on air?

. power consumptions doesn't look that bad either. this will be a nice contribution to WCG

**=[PULSAR]=** · 04-26-2010, 04:10 PM

Yeah just threw an ATI 3450 in there and pulled the GTX295 and sitting at 280W load right now

Awesome Possum

Very nice =[PULSAR]=; quite impressive.

Thanks Goosey only need another 10 to catch you

Hmm... I have the same batch 980x (2 of the same batch acctually.) The one I run on air kinda sucks. I have a prolamidtech megahlins with push pull high speed gentle typhoons. This SS is with the chip running 24/7 on the WCG. At night the office its sitting in is not air conditioned and temps are getting quite high. My 3003A885 on water does 4.13GHz at just under 1.3v and temps in the 50's.

Man I love seeing six cores @ 100% load on WCG (BOINC).

Now put that beast under some good water.

**SoulsCollective** · 05-18-2010, 05:44 PM

Damn you Americans and your hardware availability! And damn you non-student crunchers and your money availability!

Don't mind me, I'm just quietly turning green with envy in my distant little corner of the globe.

^ +1

I myself do think that ,its 980x everywhere ... its still not widely or not at all available here.Not just RETAIL,ES are also there...

No Offense

**Toolius** · 05-18-2010, 08:05 PM

@ prasrig...I just bought a 980x buddy. 52K . and they are available on order.. delivery about a week to 2 weeks maxx.. sometimes even quicker.

**mbreslin** · 05-18-2010, 08:41 PM

@pulsar: voltages please? I have the same ram sticks and I'm trying to find the sweet spot. They will randomly not post when they've been fine for a week at 2000 7-7-7-19

Which voltages in particular? Vcore was 1.4. I had my memory running at 800mhz (6-6-6-18) stock vtt and 1.65vdimm.

I have two 980x's both batch 3003A885. One is under great water at my house in the US and one i use here in china as my office computer. On water the 980x will run 4.5GHz at 1.411v and temps are fine. Here on air I have much higher ambients and I thing my case airflow sucks.

I don't want to use a water cooled computer as an office computer and it's just impossible to find water cooling parts here. Even in Hong Kong I don't even know where to find any quality cooling parts, water or air. (Damn you Americans back in America with access to good Internet resellers!

ps. Whatever host pulsar is using is blocked by the 'Great Firewall' I had to look this up on my foreign iPhone to bypass that

)

trn: There are three retail shops that I know of in Hong Kong with watercooling gear, although the range is very limited. There is also a couple of e-stores based in Hong Kong with WC stuff:
e-store: http://linkecomputer.com/
e-store: http://www.bitspower.com.hk/catalog/index.php

Retail stores:
http://shop.ocqq.com/ - Shop is in Sham Shui Po, not in Golden Plaza, behind it, address is on the website
http://www.pcbulb.com/index.php?language=en - Shop is in 398 Hennessy Rd
Also one in Wan Chai Computer Center (near the MTR).

However, all are very small, with limited stock and expensive. You are better off ordering from the US imo (although linke isn't terrible).

Sorry for the OT.... I had terrible trouble finding this stuff when I was in HK.

Now that the CPU has tasted crunching it may not stop
