very nice!!

@ Q chiller looks great good job man.
@ walleye great job on the gold

you guys have been busy

@ everyone I know its not realistic to buy another monitor for this but I run real temp on a second monitor to get realtime temps. I spent some time testing with and without the second monitor and real temp and beleave it or not I found the second monitor and the extra program running have next to no effect on the cpu test. I think it has something to do with vantage forcing a realtime or High affinity in your os thats just a guess though.

here are some initial test with 3 x 470 sc
cpu is a 4.0ghz, cards are at 675core 1701memory, physx off


i can tell that the cpu is holding these cards back a lot, and these should be interesting with to see how they clock once i get them on water and change the voltage around, did a test with physx on earlier and the cards were stable at 750mhz on the core but the score wasn't all that good since i need to get my cpu back to 4.5ghz

I have two monitors, and I generally shut the other one down when benching. Mostly because when you overclock this card with dual monitors it freaks out and gives you all kinds of tearing. I monitor my temps via the POST screen on my Evga board, so that makes it really easy.

What you could do is write down\remember the difference between your water temp and GPU\CPU temps at full load, than monitor your water temp coming out of the return tube.

How do you get real temp to stay on the screen while testing vantage.  I know I can figure it out, but thought I might get a quick answer from you guys.

thanks for the info johnksss, i think i need to redo my since im fairly sure theirs an air pocket somewhere in my cpu block, and i also need to change the fittings since the 90degress are killing the flowrate.  may try some test late with one and two cards and try to get some more cups before everyone else.

true, but im sure you can do wonders before you do a major over haul...i have faith..

hummmm, you can use evga precision or afterburner 1.60 or rivatuner to do that...there are a few other programs as well.


didn't even know real temp did that...going to check it out when i boot my machine back up in a bit.

  Fantastic Q

  I use a G19 or a G15 to monitor. Can't see cores so I add 20.
Also use them for GPU temps.

you can reset realtemp too after every run and just go by the max temp that would be a little easier ya im alright q I get pretty busy this time of year have to earn money to pay for these toys. My chiller couldnt even handle my cpu it did ok just not as good as my rad in the window did early feb. Like I said dont have time to rip apart my rig and figure out different cooling. When I start up again ill have some new hardware. Been doing alot of reading on amds new bulldozer core might build a rig around that next winter.

ok thanks, that makes sense awalleye.

@reg...I know what you mean by busy...I've spent too much time fooling with the pc.  What is it, tax time for you?

Nice ajr23!

 So how do you increase the voltage on the 470's?
Afterburner 1.6.0 will not do it for me.

Latest run with phys.

SniperOZ

Great results Guys

I think its time for me to kick it up a gear ......
I have my koolance 480 Block siting here waiting on a EVGA 480 (due in 2 weeks)
I got a 980x due in next week (i hope)
and picked up a 20L dewar............time to go CRAZY

Oh god.

Here is my run on my 2x 480's w/o physx




And this is with PhysX on

Nice runs there Basic

Just a heads up with you screen shots on hwbot ...... you need to include cpuz and gpuz (latest versions) other wise your likely to lose your submission......just letting you no because i lost a few submissions earlier on because i wasn't showing the correct info...

Cheers and Keep pushing Snipe
