Nice to see i'm still third. Both of my new classifieds should be here mid week but they will not be benched on air with the Ln2 bios. I have some DICE poits ready for them

I won't risk my GPUs running a too extreme BIOS on air. You have seen what happens yourself . So the DICE could be interesting, keep us updated.

This card is a beast! Using MSI Afterburner I achieved a +188MHz Core Clock and +425Mhz Mem Clock @105% Power and it still has headroom! Have to get my CPU stable at 4GHz, and then I should be able to crack 9500 at the least. That Windforce cooler is amazing, the card never broke 55C @ 53% fan speed; I never heard it, whisper quiet.

You need to retire that C2Q

lol Oh I know. Money is very tight right now, so she's all I got. Gonna make the best of it til I can do an i7 build.

Still some work to be done tweaking stuff, but this is where I stand for now.

Reference EVGA 980's, under water, max temp 45c(after 4 or 5 hours of benching) usually around 28-35c.  

Been fighting with my CPU these past few weeks, I tried out the Indigo XS TIM, and have not had a good experience, so I've had to drop my OC to 4.8ghz.  Will be draining the loop and changing the TIM to CL here in about 3 weeks, so hopefully I can bring up my scores some.  Also need to get my bios straightened out, having a wee bit of trouble with my mem clocks going over 4k since I flashed a new one.  Will be working for 13k in FSE after I get things straighted out.  Anyone else with 980's what clocks are you maxxing at?  I can push to 1590's on my latest bios but scores actually drop, so I need to poke around so more.

Ahh cool!

 

I got my score to 7045 on ultra with only using a 4.6 GHz OC on my 4790k.  I may have to bump up my 4790k to 4.8 to see what score I can achieve.  Back to 1.325 core voltage again.  LOL

Nice, I had my OC at 5ghz at about 1.34V before I did my TIM change to indigo, now my temps are out of control, and I have a pretty hefty waterloop.  I'll be going to back to 5ghz 24/7 when I change to CLU. I need to get my memory OC figured out, a few bioses ago, I was running at 4200mhz on my mem clocks, but I can't seem to push past 4k anymore.  I'm hoping to get my Ultra score to at least 7300.  I think I've still got some good room on these 2 cards, just have to find it .

Definitely post your scores.  I would love to see what Overclocks you can sustain and what numbers you can pull.  As for my 4790k, it will not overclock to 4.9 GHz no matter what I try to do.  Bluescreens instantly and or will not boot up.  You can pretty much guess I will not even try 5.0 GHz let alone with a H80i AIO.  My GPU's are still using the stock bios and have the base EVGA 980 ACX 2.0.  Not bad for the cheapest version 980 that they make.

my 4790k is one from the gods, I can boot 5ghz at sub 1.25v.  not stable enough for stress testing at that voltage, but stable enough for general windows operations.  yeah that's a great score for stock bios.  I'm kind of shocked actually, what is your power usage and voltage like/ what are you boosting to?

I think saying it came from the gods is an understatment

Yeah, it's hold back is I think it's gotta pretty shitty coat of tim under the IHS.  if/when 14nm broadwell K launches, I'll get one of those, and delid my 4790k for some testing before I move it to a server.  The first 4790k I got was terrible lol.  It needed 1.3 to get to 4.6, temps were better than this chip though. at equal voltages.  I passed that one off to someone who was happy running it at stock, on air, so his temps are pretty decent for stock.

what do with old cpus? delid is always the answer

on that not I have a mobile cpu (i5) with is already delided, don't know what socket it is or generation. what do with it?

Figure out it can go in, use it as a htpc, or a server or make hold are you're recipes in the kitchen, I always find a ranitidine task for an old chip

[menthuslayer]

So many typos driving can't edit post on mobile?

Too late...

 

nVidia already announced an event in the beginning of March. It won´t be the tablet, this will probably be announced on the event this February for they already invited Android journalists. I hate this waiting game from nVidia and AMD. I need some serious more GPU raw computing power and I want my watercooling back!

All I can say is if its Big Maxwell it better have at least a 512-Bit bus so its memory can fucking fly, none of this gimped down shit they have been doing for as long as they have.

No man Maxwell will probably have 384BIT MI. Because they already introduced the specs of the Quadro M6000. But it will have 50% more Cuda than the GTX980. Just from doing the math the GM200 will be 30-40% faster than the GM204 in the GTX980. That´s why I would not buy any highend cards at this point. AMD is also rounding things up so I´d not waste any money. That´s why I accept the 3way leaf blower and skip water cooling.
