tdp leakage on kepler is not that big. u need higher tdp leakage to take advantage of performance gain on cooling.
thats y the 7970 is clockin like hell on ref. but u wont find that on 3rd party boards which rectified better power delivery etc.

yeah thank god for the ignore button btw. should have done it after seeing the amount of rubbish that needs not be entertained. done

btw i have some orders from corsair us. coming in new few weeks
u need some sleeved cables??

not sure they have orange though.

btw WHY gay gay and nzxt phantom??

Hmm gaygay killed burned my 3-4k ram (at the rated voltage) and another gaygay almost killed my other 5k ram
its after that gaygay fae taiwan said ( u cannot oc) that time the board cost like nearly 1.6-1.7k supposedly a overclocking board.gaygay has short lifespan. Their phases and vrm are all false and the power delivery is always off by a lot and their loadline calibration is always overvolting.

think only stasio here i know still uses them frequently. i wont trust them with any of my rams.

hmm i see. what the heck ure 2600k died?? cpu dead??lol my board just died. send one for rma and bought another. well i guess m5f kindda sux but for me its more on the ram timings its not open but would good for noobies who prefer presets.

nah i am against plastic/steel combo. nzxt issue is the top grill clearance with the board with a dual loop rad for push pull config.

that fella.

psu on full load is rare but ure edging it close to 70 percent of the 850 if u stress everything.
just test ure rails on 3.3v for cpu linx/burn and 12v on ure card extreme burnin or occt dx11 shader 7.0 full reso test.

looking at the new haswell specs. u might as well wait till more psu can be certified for the new c-states.

odd. enermax 3 times already been certified for future use since galaxy, evo and now their new plat. ... preferred partners like asus??

huh?? ure talking about who??

the problem aint just asic.
asic is based on vid operating voltage.

u need asic+good vrm input/output tacelines

no
asic is just a rough guide line on tdp leakage based on binning of a chip to work at certain voltage.
hence the lower the voltage the higher the asic but less leakage.

its a question of balance really.

theres nothing really complex.

higher asic denotes that ure chip requires uses a lower vid (voltage in demand) to run at that stock frequency.

oc potential depends on tdp leakage and cooling.

so having a low vid chip doesnt guarantee but it helps a lot.

i wonder who made that cooler

before it was coolermaster.

Hmm tempted. Just wondering will the card have normal nvidia traits of issues with pcie overclocking since haswell has the same pcie oc strap like sandy-e

if i remember correctly last year when my supplier text me.
Ref Asus GTX680 when launch only RM1299-RM1399 lol n 7970 ref was at 1600. Now its other way around

expected. its a spec issue. its too close.

titan as it is only shines at 1440p etc

looks like 780 now replaces 7970ghz as the perfect card for 1080p.

hmm prices in singapore 780
Asus S$1059
Zotac S$949
MSI S$989

For comparison prices.

Asus n GayGay Titan S$1599
MSI 7970 Lightning S$699
MSI 7970 Twin Froz S$619
Asus 670 Mini S$629
Asus ARES II S$2499

exchange rate 2.4

Norm is gc abt rm150-200 more in sg.
Expected price in MY for 780 is
Asus/GayGay rm2349
Leadtek/MSI rm2199

Zotac afaik in malaysia can only get the game bundle version. N edevices die already afaik.

is leadtek gonna die or not in the loop anymore

no titan from them
and no 7 series from them.

crazy price.

should be in the 2200.

Our prices are rm150-200 cheaper than singapore most of the time.

Now its more exp.

lol leadtek hasnt even launched the card
they dont even have gtx titan till today and werent even on the list of nvidia partners.


arnd 2.2k with shipping

Hmm msi gtx780. 2 units only in my.

Asus cards booked this week.
Msi left one

Lol u know a lot ofnthe shops think the nda end of the month.

Watch out for feiton price.

hmm gtx 780 can overclock pretty good at stock around 1188/1200mhz on the core.

mem clocking so far a bit insane at 7ghz ++

ok stock max is at 1.15 without throttling is 1149 because of tdp at 106. but max stable is 1188 at 1.15v is 1188 for mine
then with overvoltage +38.

i get overclocks from 1149-1228mhz on gaming flux between that.

mem clock tested. heaven easy at 7ghz but stable i actually 6400mhz.

so hitting a tdp limit here.
