Joey is correct.  I would prefer everyone to get a set of scores in that are run with a pretty safe OC so that we have something to fall back on in case anything were to happen to your hardware.  After that, I would like everyone to go for high OCs and get a set of scores from those.  I would prefer people not to have lots of score updates, but if need be that is okay.

Gotcha, I'll do 800/1200 w/ 4.2 tonight, get all the 3d benches down. 2d I've pretty much maxed out. When do we have to have OC submissions in by?

Nateman this is the general idea.

@ Rabid, I'd like inlet and outlet to be on the same side so it can go in a drive bay if possible.

Wow lol. You basically did what i did in a few hours, in probably a few minutes, albeit much simpler.
 
Also, the reason i did inlets and outlets on opposite sides was to have the tecs being cooled in parallel. What you want would be cooling in series, which would be less efficient... You could always mount it vertically in the drive bays so the inlet would be near the top, and outlet near the bottom. Though that would take up multiple drive bays.

So is the purpose of this to cool liquids, or is it going directly on a block?

Yes, Halo explained it in the below quote. Do you think that will be effective?

To chill the liquid in my CPU/GPU loop.

Like this:

Loop 1, the chilled loop.
Pump-->cold side of TECs block, chilled water comes out-->CPU block--> GPU block--> Pump

Loop 2, hot loop.
Pump-->Hot side of TECs block, removes heat-->Rad-->Res-->Pump

Yep, that's how it is planned.

Ah I don't really mind if it's in series. Gonna sell a couple blocks later this weekend, get some $$$ for that, pick up my F1.
 
 
And yeah, that took like 5 minutes to do in paint lol.

Hey guys, what test in 06 is hardest on the gpu? What order would you put the 4 graphics tests in, hardest to easiest?
 
Also, which of the 2 graphics tests is harder on the gpu in Vantage?

Not sure for 06.
 
For Vantage, I would definitely say Calico.

I would think canyon flight in 06 because it will utilize sli if available.
For vantage I would say Calico.
Hardest to easiest would be my guess. You can change the order?

I don't think you can change the order, but i was thinking about using hotkeys for Afterburner profiles for different tests. How much of a difference in clocks do you think there really would be between tests? I have been testing my gtx480 only right now, as i know how my q6600 overclocks (so i should be able to just slap on my settings for the proc and run the benches after i find max 480 clocks).
 
I am still tweaking/pushing, but right now, my 480 passes vantage at 850 core, 1050mem, at 1.075v (stock 1.063), and passes 06 at those same setting except on stock volts.
 
What do you guys think the most volts i could pump my 480 safely on air? With the 1.075, max temps in Vantage were only about 74*C and that is with a custom fan profile curve, not 100% all the time (i think it peaked arond 80% fan speed during tests).

Put fan at 100%, up voltage until you start hitting around 85C, then you should stop, and Get It Colder.

Sounds good, i will try that for the voltage. For getting it colder, my plan was to bench in the garage, for cold air, but it has been warming up alot recently.
