Dent you sure you are getting the voltages to change, or maybe you just have a great clocker. Would you mind dumping your card bios and I can compare it to mine?

I am very sure, had the dmm hooked up to vgpu measure the entire time, dmm reflected exactly what I set in AB every time (with slight overvoltage as mentioned earlier)

I cant dump the bios right now, the card is swimming in melt-off lol

Yeah I sent a gpu-z Ss to compare BIOSes, maybe you got one with new bios already...

Last I read, vcore control was a given on the 470 and 480.

Source Rom?

Not this Rom, not sure bout fermi. I am sure that the lightning sucks with this AB and its current bios. Prepped it properly, got ABE installed and no voltage control.
Still pushed thru a vantage at 1250 on the core with 1.14v so if I ever get votage control, this card looks promising. Pics are the only thing I got out of the mini-session, que sera.

rom

you didn't get the ramsink? or u just decided to use your own kit? nice pixies

Dentlord · #**146** 03-17-2010

Here is my bios version according to gpu-z

Any chance it would be ok to fire it up with an empty pot long enough to save the bios??

honda
I use my own sync's, they allow me to insulate better. Thanks.

Jor-El · #**148** 03-17-2010

Very nice pics RomDom! Man that is a lot of eraser, how many per card?

So far the results are only with the card scaling with cold. Can't wait to see it scaling with cold & Voltages.

RomDominance · #**149** 03-17-2010

Me too! and thanks Jor. I used three blocks of eraser per side. I don't usually insulate all the way out, but I figured this card would be very cold for longer than usual bench times, so wth. Good news is no cb at -150, so with some V she should perform well. btw did you get my response that I was in Tucson?

I used 2 blocks on my mobo... damn I gotta learn how to insulate i guess

Then again my pot don even get frosty... you are in a desert arent you? Why the hell you frosting at all? Its 30% humidity here I got no frost with DIce.....
