Thanks, we will see how it clocks in a few days or so.

Ultimantly this is a gamer so not expecting miricals, especially with a chip that I know only does 5ghz and change on cold.

As long as I can get enough out of it so these Titans are not standing around tapping their feet waiting for instructions I will be happy :)

Well my MSI P67 could do just over 5.100 on my i5 2500K, so you will like it very much!!

I hope you're entering this rig for rig on the month in some forums. Like EVGA, GURU 3D and others have contests. You could easily be in the running if not a definate win. This is in those ranks.

Good idea! You know you will get at least a dozen votes from here. :thumbsup:

Witchdoctor 03-28-2013 11:54 PM

No did not enter it in any ROM contests, got bigger problems

Getting a B2 error .. can't even get to the BIOS it is a vid error, so something going on. tried everything. called MSI and they are going see if they can recreate the error on their end to see if it is a board issue, so they say. Giving them 24 hours before I tear this down. They are concerned the board has an issue with the card, I find it hard to believe but they seemed genuinely concerned once I told them the cards were Titans and swaping cards out was more than I could do over the phone. Hoping it is something like a BIOS update as I can have them flash a chip and send it to me. Reminds me Have to check, hope they are not fixed BIOS chips

Could be a dead card .......... :ohcrap:

GFDuke 03-29-2013 02:10 AM

Bummer man. No bios updates on the site?

Witchdoctor 03-29-2013 02:54 AM

Just took the cards out, wow it was easier than getting the poly off the barbs, with the drain valves I put in just had to open it lossen 4 nuts and done ... took all of 5 minutes to remove the cards, two loops = WIn I can still have the cpu under water with out having to replace the cooler so I can test vids only or CPU only. Thought it would be a bitch but the copper turns out to be easier to remove than poly

Anyway slapped another card in and off she went, going to check now few a new BIOS throw it in and see if that was it, if not one or both of these Titans are toast ... :ohcrap:

BIOS Update did it, have my old win 8 desktop up and bleeding air FTW, once done will throw the bridge on to verify both cards are reconized

Glad I don't have to do the RMA thing, those blocks are a total PITA to put on

GFDuke 03-29-2013 09:58 AM

Here's a valley run at stock GPU clocks



http://www.overclockaholics.com/foru...1&d=1364687885

DOM 03-30-2013 06:28 PM

nice

wheres the vantage power :D

my 7970 oc get 95FPS :(

Witchdoctor 03-31-2013 12:40 AM

Thansks, I will be posting Vantage numbers soon

PhIlLy ChEeSe 03-31-2013 01:49 AM

Your load temps seem spot on as my Rive board shows about the same under load with IBT, all twelve cores running.

yea this board is not to bad, but it ain't no RIVE that is for sure ......... :blush:

Here is a few more benches, Can't get Fire Strike and Vantage to run, may have tio throw a few more volts at it ......... :laughing:

Stock GPU clocks and stock NVCP, Have to go get Easter diimer ready :ohcrap:

GFDuke 03-31-2013 03:48 AM

I'd take your board over a RIVE any day. Of course that depends on the benchmark.

Witchdoctor 03-31-2013 04:24 AM

yea it is a capable board. Git it off a friend, It's been solid ........ :laughing:
The BIOS is a bit light compared to the RIVE though, if the RIVE BIOS is as in depth as the MVG anf the MIVE I had.

wish the bus went up in .5 increments rather than 1's though.

Real happy with the results so far though keeping in mind this is a 24/7 set up, not sitting on a rack with a pot strapped to it

Funny though this board lights up like a Chrismas tree FTW ........... :thumbsup:

hey Dom, here is a Vantage run, forgot to turn off physics though ......... :ohcrap:

PhIlLy ChEeSe 03-31-2013 05:18 AM

yea, thse cards are pretty sick

Stock clocks still, here is a Fire Strike result , with physics off

DOM 03-31-2013 07:20 AM

Looking good bro

And the newest vantage doesn't use physics your cpu score would be up there like your gpu score ;) so it a good run for the bot :D

Witchdoctor 03-31-2013 02:04 PM

Cool ....

Here are some Furmark results showing TDP and temp swings on a 15 minute burn and and a bench

DOM 03-31-2013 02:58 PM

Hows this new rig treating you?

What up bro?

gotta say I am loving it the little bit of time I have had to play. I dominates anything I throw at it even at 2560x1440 with eye candy maxed out.
The MSI is treating me well at 4.8 24/7 and as expensive as the Titans are they are no joke, have not even seen them break a sweat thus far.

Had a major turn around here in work as we actually are swamped, probably the first time since 2006. Went from five guys working for me to 17 with in the last month and a half, Work is crazy doing 12 to 14 hour days, cheap ass boss is still not giving me anything more other than a few small bonuses here and there. :ohcrap:
I have sold over 2.5 Million already this year that is more than I sold for the entire 2013

That and building a deck on my my house has eaten all my time up. Hard to get excited about Haswell as I am just dead beat tired all the time burning the candle at both ends.

Hoping once I am done with my deck I can chill for a bit and see what Haswell brings to the table. Hoping 7/26/13 is still a good date to meet you, Al and some of the crew in person at the East coast OC campain in Buffalo..........

Hope all is well with you and your family and you are busy as well ... :thumbsup:

it is good to hear from you bro ..........

Not sure if I posted these, but here is the finished product

GFDuke 05-25-2013 02:38 AM

Nice rig man. Sounds like a lot of fun. Work is picking up some. Nothing like it was 2-3 years ago. But it is getting better. I may not be able to get to Al's place now. I am changing my heating system over to Natural gas. So that means new boiler/burner/ hot water system. But, in the end i'll save over 2k a year in heating costs. And, the wife wants a pool. IDK why ffs. I have a camp on the lake. But I don't think i'm gonna win that battle. Unfortunately.

PhIlLy ChEeSe 05-25-2013 03:15 AM

Happy Memorial Day Guys!

@WD,
What fans are those on the face down(middle photo) rad? They look pretty deep, and killer!!!

thebanik 05-25-2013 03:25 AM

wow WD, what a rig you have built here. Super powerful and a stunner

No kidding bro, Natural is the way to go, My gas bill was $ 42.00 last month around $ 110.00 in the hieght of winter, here in PA you stick a knife in the ground and it starts pouring out of the ground. Upstate used to be a bunch of Hillbillies, Now they are all millionars ....... We are doing ten natural gas conversions a week here. A pool is cool, but adds a lot of work ...... :ohcrap:


That is a drag about Al's I hope something cahnges and you can make it. Should be a lot of fun. Hope it is still on as I have not been around for a while. Good to hear from you though

@ Philly Yates low speed 38mm , they are some nice fans and move a great deal of air for how quite they are, the front side ar Corsair SP Silents, they are decent as well, but if had to do over again would go with the Yates fans all around. Both sets running at 6v are silent though, Really digging have to see the lights to know it is running ......... :laughing:

@ Banik Thansk man, Long time bro, hope this post finds you and your family well I have been busy with so many things these days overclocking has been on the side line for a while now. Once things settel a bit may grab a Haswell set up to play with. What I really need is a 6+ Ghz set up to bench all these retro cards with :)

Good to hear from you all, been pretty quite in these parts.........
