if anyone has any gpus laying around takes some pics of the gpu chip inside it for me so I can put some in the database mind aswel take pcb shots aswel

have:
8800GT
8800GT 320Mb
Evga 580 GTX Ultra
Asus 780 GTX

Need any photos?

yes all are welcome pcbs and gpu chip core

 

[FireKillerGR]

ok will shoot some asap.
As for the 780 GTX DCii, u cant get them from W1zz's review?

 

[khemist]

delete.

 

[khemist]

Well my titan seems to have died when the Aquacomputer active backplate a few pages back leaked or something else that i don't know about.

On the up side - 780 lightning tomorrow!.

nah u don't have to do that one lol

What did u do with the titan? I may need it for tests (cut pcb and replace part of the card)

 

[khemist]

Trying to RMA it.

Trying to RMA it.

If u dont manage to RMA it just keep me in mind, it will help me

 

[khemist]

Sure.

I would be more than happy to take that off your hands.

What are you planning on doing with your 3960X?

I've not made up my mind yet, 3960X does 5 GHz with 1.41 Vcore and the 4960X has a wall after 4.6 GHz(1.38 vcore). 4.7 GHz needs 1.53 vcore just to boot into win7

I'm sure things will get better with subsequent BIOS updates.
Still, I wouldn't expect more than 300-400 more MHz out of it.
Have you tried plying with straps and BCLK, or strictly multi?

Tried BCLK straps, doing some PLL tests now starting at 1.65V with 1.4 vcore attempting 4.7 GHz.
And a new bios for my R4E that came today, I've tested four different bioses including Shamino's 0020

What mobo do u have?
Some vendors try to fix PLL Overide Enable setting and make it 100% working.
Before then processors seem to need more voltage that they should for freq of 4.6+ GHz

EDIT. just saw u have the R4E, dunno about it but just wait a bit

Did default PLL voltage drop drastically between SB-E and IB-E? As far as I remember, 1.8V PLL is default.

I got Rampage IV Extreme and I've tested with the PLL overide

1.8 nis the default, not measured the drop yet

As I said, PLL Overide isnt working as it should be on some mobos, dunno if R4E is one of them or not

Well may be they got it right in this bios, the 4501 that came today.

They've been releasing so many BIOSes for IB-E lately that I decided not to update until I have my hands on a chip. By then, they'll have released five or six more BIOSes, lol.

The 4501 bios looks promising, 4,7 GHz with "only" 1.35 vcore in bios, never even gotten into Win7 with less than 1.53 vcore at that speed.

Those temps look great!
Any stability testing at 4.7+ yet?

Yes, Wprime 1024

Hey I just got into Win7 at that "low" vcore for the first time ever.

I know it's single-threaded, but would you mind giving SuperPI 1.5XS 1M a run? Would like to see how your 4.7 stacks up to my 4.9.
But after hearing you have 4.7 at such a low voltage, I'm pretty sold.
