Rom Rides Lightning, finally!
 

Well after tons of bad news and results from the lightnings, I finally have some great news to share with you guys. Our friend and colleague Jor-el came thru for us big time by getting a copy of ABe 1.5.1 to me today. I put the 920 back in under SS and tested it out this afternoon. Without pushing super hard, this card wants to take over the universe.

I should be able to get to 1450 with this card. A little luck with a new 980x, a top spot shouldn't be completely out of reach in Vantage.:shock:
We will see.

Wicked wicked wicked wicked, nuf said.....

sweet dude!! I knew if they could go you would find away!!!!!:clapping:

If you have them, please show pics of card prep and pot mounting...I'm working on getting my 3 frosty also...

Thanks to Kal and LS, much appreciated guys.
Here are a few pics for ya Mike. Let me know if I can assist in any way.

Hey Mike are you running the 762? I am starting to think that it is better with 32nm than the 760/759

so happy for you buddy! knew you would work it out.

Like I told you on the phone brother... Awesome work!

dude that is sick bro....


when do you get your gulfie?

Sick GPU http://media.bigoo.ws/content/smile/...aracter_27.gif wish mine was not a pos :thumbsup:

Next in line.

awesome gpu core romd! coldbug? was there an ocp mod for this?

Jor-El ...i salute you man! awesome contribution!

Hey ROM I think you missed a spot. There is this big shint metal thing sticking out of one end of the card that aint coated in prophylactic ;)

Thats a lightning right.. .did you have to use a magnum? Or just a standard trojan XL?

Glad you got the hook up homey. You know my PM ;)

Yeah right! What a job on that! :shock: :thumbsup:

:eek: Dayum nice work!!! Great job Admiral Rom.:clapping:

Perfect prep work like that deserves to be quoted. :D

Very nice, did you leave the big silver heatsink attached or remove it?

It's gonna take alot of eraser to do that to 3 cards. :Dizzy:

Hey gunslinger, I would take if off. I left it on it sweat like crazy on the metal, condensation magnet.

Beautiful prep and awesome clocks!

I cant wait to see this with a 980x pushing it ... and I wanna see 1475!!! :laughing:

I wonder if you are on to something with the 762 vs 760 for GT ... I wanted a new board anyway maybe I should test out the theory :D

wow!!!!!simply mind blowing, now all it needs is some gulftown love....

Thanks doods! Here is a shot of what the card would do with a 980x in front of it, but limited only to 1350 by the lack of ABe. BTW I sent that chip back because of the horrible cb @-112c,...new gulf shortly, and 29.5k:shock:

Also I have included a couple more pics of the lightning all dressed out in frostking.
I never have to remove the pot after sessions, just let her dry out for a couple of hours. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is planning on benching high performance 5870's to prep to this extreme,...simply because they need to hover around -130c for long periods of time.

One more thing for the lightning guys, not pictured is the eraser covered cap and plug on either side of the pot, up at the top of the card. Be sure to cover these as they frost up bad even under frostking. GL bros and let me know if I can help.

was going to start a thread Splave kills lightning, the weekend just got a little less fun.

I guess I killed it somehow, only ran on ln2 once ftl.

Damn bad news homie. :(

Been starting to think the same thing, but hesitant to dive in when a new USB3 equiped Classy has to be right around the corner :D

Awesome work dude :hug:

Yeah, 762 is the only X58 board I have. Hope to fix that soon though.
