Well, finally managed to get some decent benching in yesterday - testing my GTX 580 cards on air before going sub-zero in a couple of weeks

My new(ish)retail 980X is going pretty well - benching 3D03 / 05 at 6050 using only 1.8V in bios. CPU temp -115/-120. Batch is 3013A5xx

GTX580 Cards are doing pretty well on air - maxing out at 950+ / 1150 with GPUV @ 1.1V only. Temps not going above 75 degrees C

3DM03 Single Card 119k

3DM03 Dual Card 174k

3DM05 Single Card 50k

AQ3 Single Card 411k

And a screenshot just for good measure.....





Need to do some work on the efficiency of these runs (memory speed / NB speed) and will then try some higher volts and other benchmark runs

Alex (Sup3rfly) and I have a day benching session organised in a couple of weeks - so will prep these cards for LN2 over the next couple of weeks With around 70ltrs of LN2 available we should have a blast

Awesome benching session there,good result

It's AquaMark3

Thanks for sharing..

Thanks for your kind words all - been in Malaysia for 3 months but this is the first chance I have had. Will share plenty more over the coming months


Thanks man looking forward to what you can do - the last AQ3 was good - but this one is even better



My other favourite run of the weekend was this




Keep watching this space over the next few weeks

Your I7 980X is
No other word to put it

Yeah not too bad - best so far but not the CPU I am looking for - need 6.5 3d!!

Doing a bit more air testing on the GTX580 this avo, and finding the CPU limits for 06 / Vantage





Looking forward to getting these cards cold next weekend

Smell some record ownage from you
Good luck..my own little oc session coming soon

Woahh buddy...u have a good background record in 3d benhmarking...well done...

Hopefully u will get a new record for this coming Christmas...

GTX580 at 920Mhz?

cant go 1Ghz ke?

nice score.

Thanks man - by next Tues we will know for sure Alex and I have a little benching session arranged for next Mon


Ohh its going past 1GHz - just wait and see


Thanks

a big thank for inviting me over for the bench holiday, thanks for the ln2 and pizza... hope we can do more some other time, grace is cute!!! =D

wow, awesome la...i'm kinda noob here, may i know 'sub zero' is??..
using liquid nitrogen eh??..or what,,...huhu

You are welcome m8 Wasnt the best day for me but you benched really well

You should start up a thread with your results and a few pics - they were pretty good for some old school X48 benching


Only got one run done on LN2 with my video card before my motherboard failed Video card ran 3dm06 at 1100 on the core with no hardware mods at all (normal speed 782) Pot temps around -60 only





Hi Kimiez91 - Sub zero is any temp less than zero degress celcius - can get using a number of different methods. LN2 = -190, cascade coolers around -110, single stage coolers around -50, chilled water maybe -5

Cooling definitely helps with overclocks, although too much can cause other issues that you also have to try and manage - cold bug / cold boot bug etc
