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

Hey Mike are you running the 762? I am starting to think that it is better with 32nm than the 760/759
Perfect prep work like that deserves to be quoted.

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.

Beautiful prep and awesome clocks!

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

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

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

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.
