Hey guys, we are throwing a small, local LAN at my house Friday the 6th starting at 6pm and ending sometime late Sunday night. Everybody who would like to attend is invited and needs to bring all their own equipment, you know the drill. Anyone who has any questions call my cell 208.640.4110 Hope to see some of you there!
Today I started overclocking for the Gigabyte Beat me if you dare competition.
This morning I started with stock air benching in 3D Mark Vantage. to my surprise with stock cooling and stock Voltages I achieved a max stable core clock of 775MHz, 1300MHz Memory, and a Shader clock of 1710MHz.
This is rather impress considering the stock core clock for the SOC card is 680MHz vs the reference clock of 576MHz. Nearly 200MHz of overclocking headroom!!!!
My impressions this far lead me to believe Gigabyte has a card worthy of the Overclock name! (Move over ASUS TOP?)
Rig Picture:
3DMark Vantage Single GTX 260:
Performance 13773 3D Marks
Here is the naked PCB with cooling assembly removed
Next I apply heat sinks to the two secondary thermal zones
Kneaded eraser is used to prevent condensation or buildup of ice on the PCB
I have also coated the back of the card and used RAMsinks on the rear MOSFETS
Starting 3/5/2010 I will be LN2 OverClocking with a live video feed every Saturday.
