980 TI & 6700k Dry Ice session!

[Lays]

Just finished prepping my 980 TI for some subzero fun, going to grab some Dry Ice from the store in an hour or so.

 

I'll update this thread in the second post after I finish benching!   Follow the thread if you want to see the results later tonight in a couple hours!

 

I'm going to DICE my 6700k as well, and do Catzilla 720p & 1440p, as well as Firestrike Extreme & Normal, as well as Unigine Heaven Xtreme Preset, probably do Unigine Valley after all those other benchmarks.

 

 

 

Some pics in the meantime!

So I just got done a few hours ago, then defrosted everything and made sure no water was left.

 

GPU hasn't been put back in system, but I peeled all the LET off and the card still looks flawless, had only a tiny issue in the beginning of the session where the system wouldn't post once it was cold.

 

 

CPU had no problem doing 5.7 on every core & hyperthreading, GPU scaled better than I imagined!   I started out with like 1600 mhz @ 1.3v, and kept pushing and pushing, til I hit 1800 mhz on the core at 1.563v on the core, with 8900 mhz on the memory, with 1.8 volts.

 

I didn't quite get to bench everything I wanted to because the card ate through 10 pounds of DICE very very fast, it was all I could do to keep up with filling the pot.

 

 

 

Firestrike normal:

 

6700k @ 5.7 Ghz, 5.0 Ghz Cache

 

GPU @ 1800 Mhz Core, 8900 Mhz memory (2225)

 

 

 

Here is some valley:

 

CPU:  i7 6700k @ 5.7 Ghz Core, 5.0 Ghz Cache
GPU: ASUS 980 TI Matrix @ 1800 Mhz Core, 2225 Mhz memory
Average FPS: 138.2
Score: 5783
Setting: ExtremeHD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some more random pics at various clock speeds

O-o, i have a bad feeling about this :p. But then again, i always have a bad feeling about something that wasnt premidated to happen ehe.

Looks awesome already  

I once had the luck to see some live LN2 cooling at a gaming con, that was already awesome.. this too

Updated, look at second post!

Nice job!

 

suprised the water from the dry ice didn't kill your board.

Does the black membrane you applied come of easily?

As long as you put it on thick, it will peel off with a tiny bit of patience. 

 

Here's what it looked like after I peeled off the front, there's only a tiny bit left, but with some tweezers I could get it off really easily.

I was imagining you spending hours picking at it.  Good thing the material does not weaken during the process.

It took maybe 5-10 minutes tops to get it looking like that.  If you put like 3 coats on, it peels off in one chunk basically.   It dries very fast too, takes like maybe 1-2 hours to prep (but only actually like 15 mins of actual painting it on)

Easier than Vaseline.. I can tell you that much.

 

I just stick it in the dishwasher. Putty is the cleanest but it does take a bit more effort to apply nicely and correctly. I think the stuff used by Lays is a bit softer than what I have.

The eraser I use is really soft when it's warmed up, really easy to apply but it's ridiculously time consuming to do a good job.

Yeah. I warm mine up on the radiator for a few mins and it's still a bit difficult. I got a little bit from Nick when he quit which is much softer. Will probably use it on the P5E3 when that arrives

This is what I use, I bought like a 16 pack, it came in the box in little individually wrapped chunks

Have you put everything back yet?  I assume there was no damage from the voltages.  Was the GPU even over-volted (100%+) for that 1800MHz?

Everything is back yeah and running fine.

 

The settings of all the voltages I was using is in the pic, but I'll list them anyways.

1.563v Core Voltage, 1.8v Memory voltage, 200% Power limit, 1000 kHz VRM clock, 100% load line calibration

Man I looked through the pic and saw nothing, until you listed the numbers... then everything magically appeared.  Sorry about that.  I am not used to the process so everything on the screen gets "jumbled".

Understandable, it doesn't help that you can't see the names of the settings, for some reason changing to high performance settings in windows system settings makes GPU Tweak's settings unreadable

I read the TDP (91.5%) for the GPU on the lower right and thought you might have some wicked chip on the GPU;  to get to 1800 on that.  Then you said 1.563v, and I found the real numbers.

That's 91.5% of the 200% though, so it's only really around half while doing the GPU-Z render test to boost the card up for the screenshot.   I only hit 139% of the 200% during the actual test, but that's something like 600-700 watts I think.  

The even crazier part is, with the card pulling that crazy power & pushing all those volts, the VRM max temp was 49 c lol, goes to show how overbuilt the VRM is

Forgot to mention what happened, someone was trolling and when their post got deleted, they deleted all the responses to that guys post. 

 

 

Sorry for double post btw!
