Bro ref design card?
If it's ref, then you got yourself a golden card.

Yeah, I already got it. Now in Cyntrix hand, am watercooling it, hopefully I have your luck to get a golden card. If everything goes well on my 5670x1080, I might just give up cross firing it.

Yeah, that's for sure, the killer is actually the AA. The higher your AA is, the lower FPS you get.
Without AA, the single card can actually run above 45fps most of the time, and averagely 30fps on 64p maps. But for some, less than 60fps is consider unplayable already.

OMG, where do you get RM1200 7970?
If the price is that low I will crossfire it !! LOL
Since I'm watercooling it I don't mind if it's ref or not.

sapphire right?
How is sapphire quality?
Because the shorter warranty kinda bugs me.
Already, gonna grab the HX1050w

Any tips pls,
I can't do anything more than 1125 / 1575 (stock voltage)
upping the voltage by 0025 and try to run at 1150 can see artifacts already.

Why la both my CPU and GPU also no luck in overclocking hard.

both my cpu and gpu stock voltage are damn high lol

64.4%

Update: No luck, can't even pass 10 second of heaven bench. Even 1299 can't help.

The best I could do with my 7970 even with water.
Don't know I'm too noob or what..
After some tuning manage to get it to 1150 but anything above can see errors d.

Added on June 29, 2012, 8:21 amRan into some problem with my morning battlefield 3 session. The game just freeze for no reason all of sudden, around 10-15 minutes gameplay. No sigh of driver crashing, no need of PC resetting. Just end BF3.exe and can run the game again. Reset the clock back to 1125 still same. Drivers issue? But don't have this problem previously.

What do you mean?
What will flashing help?
Can achieve higher OC ?
Anyway you also stuck at 1125 even with WC?

What exacly is the difference between flashing and unlock voltage control in MSI Afterburner?
I did some google they say you can change voltage, aren't we able to do that already in MSI afterburner after enabling EULA and unofficial mode?

Bro can you teach me how to flash my bios?
And to which version is better?
Briefly explain to me what is the difference / improvement comparing overclocking with afterburner only?

Okay, but can I know what's the main purpose other than unlock voltage? Because isn't the afterburner can do that already?

Yeah true also, no point overclocking when you crossX since enough power to max all games d.

Brother, you should know almost no fan can compete with WC in term of temp
If you want to WC, might as well just stick to reference.
Also note that, benchmark are mostly comparing performance, not cooling.
For overclocking any card, if you have luck, you can overclock a reference card to 1300mhz, like TS did here.
no luck, like me, even wc, 1125 also hard to pass not due to temp but instability of the card.
Well I still left the last solution to flash the bios, see how thing goes after my work.

Added on June 29, 2012, 3:01 pmI can assure you, cooling solution will not boost up your performance by much, it's the chip potential that matters. If you have to put high volt for a card to perform that great, yes, watercooling will do its role, but if your chip is not a chip that can overclock high, no matter how good is your WC setup, it still won't do.

Bro, your load temp is 47?
I think something is wrong with mine, my load temp can go upto 80 when stress test, I'm using universal block tho. Does it really make that much difference?

MSI Kombusator.
Furmark.
Around > 1.25v

Mine are 64% IIRC, does that explain the heat? If not I think I'll resend it back to Cyntrix for diagnose / or just change to full block.

Okay. Thank you for the advice. Will plan.

stock speed idle temps is 41 load around 70 too. (load is gaming, not stress temp)
I'm suspecting the mount bracket is not fitting my block properly.

So my case now is the contact is not properly made?

Yup it's not there. I will get it when I got the time, but no rush la since GC can withstand more heat than that. Just feel bottleneck when wc can achieve much lower temps.
