Very Nice Hallowen!

Thanks Scarlet, It was about time to sell them, Especially since I couldn't go any higher on GPU voltage.

22 to 6, that's quite a range, but with what you told me about her, I can definitely see it.
 
I've said before and I will say it again, I WANT YOUR TOYS!!!!! 

Obviously, the car I told you about, about 15 open road, and 5 if I'm on it..... so I feel ya, but it is nice to know that in cruise control+OD you can actually take it somewhere as you aren't getting gallons per mile.
You should use the sound of your Super+Turbos spooling as an alarm sound.....I know that would have me waking up with a smile.
 
I know you won't same as me, BUT, still doesn't make me want it even less.  Shame I am not close by, I would bribe you for a ride  :)

Couldn't take being at stock anymore, threw on a quick 4.3GHz. Shooting for a 24/7 4.8GHz like on my old i7 960. Working on figuring out why my RAM won't run 2400MHz currently..
 

Alright!, Great seeing you getting back into it again.
Hopefully you'll have more leisure time available to continue like before.

Unfortunately I doubt that will be the case, I have 2 more years of college left and am adding a minor as well this fall. The nice thing is I will in theory be taking classes that are more oriented towards my major and minor now because I finished my Associate's degree this year so my general classes are wrapped up finally. 
 
To make things even more interesting I am in the midst of exploring the possibility of launching a company right after college so I am in the midst of all the market research and competition analysis now working on my business plan, and working part time on top of that.

Good to see you back, also, your IMC must have been golden if you are getting anywhere near 4.8 AND 2400 at the same time on a 960, or are you going subzero with SS or something?

It is a bad ass chip. I bought it binned from a bencher, it was binned out of a pretty large batch if I remember... The IMC is seriously impressive,
 
It's the top WC chip on hwbot still too lol. http://hwbot.org/submission/2237488_halo_003_cpu_frequency_core_i7_960_5136.45_mhz
It also set a wprime time that I STILL have not beaten, on a stripped down OS but that should just tell you how key the OS can be for CPU OC's. http://hwbot.org/submissi...core_i7_960_4sec_937ms
 
I have it now at 105MHz x43 stable so far

 
I would also like to put this chip on DICE at some point and see what it can do. I can easily boot with bclk set to 106MHz so I think 107MHz should be doable. It's important because if it can do 107MHz it can do 132MHz as well, which would put it right around the top 3 on hwbot for frequency. I won't get to go subzero on it this summer, but at some point I would like to. I still have my CPU and GPU pots so I just need the time to take the rig apart and do it.
 

I Think I've been spending WAY too many hours lately sitting at my Computer looking for the "Latest and Greatest" Components to appear that for whatever reasons are put up for purchase for less than two minutes and then instantly only show the "Auto-Notify" sign before you can finish checking out!
 
After wearing out my keyboard F5 key (not to mention my fingers and my sanity) trying and failing to purchasing at least ONE of the new KPE's in any of the four available(?) ASIC's, I can see where the odds of me personally being able to purchase Four of them (even one at a time) in the same ASIC "range" for a possible 4-Way SLI setup would be Literally Little to None.
 
But As Fate would have it, I now have decided to go a slightly different route in setting up again for 4-Way Benching on my R5E Rig due to the fact that I somehow managed to purchase Four of these instead.........
 

 
The Big Plus about this for me is Not having to find/buy separate Water Blocks anymore, Plus no more disassembling the Air Cooler/installing the Water Block and then re-assembling the Air Cooler on them again when I decide to either sell them or return them for any possible RMA's.
 
I Think it Should make for another interesting Benching Rig Build, Along with Later on switching from Phase Change over to using my Dragon F1 Pot with DICE again and even the possibility getting a "Golden" 5960X Chip that I am presently waiting on.

Dang Dude, nice move
bet the wallet is a little lighter!
please post some pics

LOL, Thanks Man.
 
I'll just say Price Wise it was "A Little Bit More than I bargained for", But then these were never very inexpensive cards to begin with! 
 
Also it took me a little while to find them from Three different sources (including the ONLY One that became available on the EVGA Product Page today that I happen to be browsing on) and somehow I managed to find what I needed.
 
The First one will be here tomorrow so I'll be busy re-tubing my Chiller System back to 1/2" hose and then I can do a little testing and get some pics. I'll still have to wait for the other three which will probably arrive sometime Next week.

sorry to hear that, will keep an eye out for you, let you know
I hate it when a plan doesn't come together.....

Thats great bro, get some sleep! LOL probly not
 
edit: wouldn't want to be around you when the KPE's pop up at the same time...

OK, This Morning after yesterday and last night's Fiasco, Everything seems to be fixed as far as purchasing all Four Hydro Coppers I needed for my new 4-Way SLI setup (Thank God ).
 
Moving on, I Just received the First card this morning and took a few pics. I'll try and show some initial testing results once I get everything set up on my Chilled Water System.
 

 

 

Second Fire Strike Bench at 1469MHz/2005MHz still at stock BIOS and Voltage.
 

how aggressive with water are you going to pump in there? 
 
Are you going to keep the cards above the dew point, or go full sub zero on them?  I would imagine you still need to disassemble the cards to waterproof them with some liquid rubber if nothing else.

awalleyeguy
Sweet.

Thanks Man, We've only just begun.....

Let me show you a Comparison of the SMALL differences in Fire Strike Scores I've seen so far between my Full-Blown GM200 EVGA Titan X Hydro Copper on +10C Chilled Water Cooling with the Stock BIOS running at 1495MHz/2005MHz and my Previous "Gimped" GM200 EVGA 980 Ti Classified's HIGHEST Score I could obtain using an XOC Modded BIOS on -17C Sub-Zero Phase Change Cooling running at 1590MHz/2000MHz.
 
As You can see, There is Only a 257 Point Difference, and I haven't even used a Modded Bios on the Titan X Hydro Copper or even pushed it hard Yet! LOL, LOL, LOL!

Outstanding!!!!
You definitely made the right move there bro. I was just yanking your chain on the KP's
I would go two way with those in a heart beat if I had the funds, hmmmm maybe I could start a fund me page!!! LOL 
I have always loved the look of the ek/evga blocks over any others, their just bad ...
will be looking for that thing back in the top ten,  five even...when you get that cpu slapped on their! nice work dude!!!

Thanks, I just KNEW from my previous tests with an Air Cooled Titan X that I needed that Unaltered GM200 Chip, Not even to mention the 12GB Memory. I don't even care that it's just a reference card PCB!
 
After I went over my testing/benching scores with numerous 980 Ti setups I tried, I was getting very disappointed with those results, So I decided to make a change......
