Benching volts, hmmm, that would be the big suck now wouldnt it? You live, you learn, you take out personal loans you never fully pay off, your kids want College Tuition, you wife Guchi, even you're huge ass Great Danes want a piece of the pie..............

It would be the big suck if it's set for sub zero volts when you are on air :sign17:

Sups,

try posting the card on sub zero temps like DICE or LN2

I had the card tuned for LN2 Benching when i shipped it to you.

do you have a multimeter handy to take a few voltage, and resistance measurements for me?

LOL, figured as much. Card's prolly toast. I got some pc repairs to do for some peeps over the next couple days. I'll pick up some DICE later this week if there's time.

naw,

4870 is one resilient SOB!

you could even solder the ground return lines and the card will be back at stock voltages and should boot on air/water no problem!
