easy... right.
ive already killed two graphics cards trying these 'easy' vmods. it's VERY hard. i have a pretty steady hand and have been working on my iron skillz on some old dead motherboards - and i still have killed two. im prolly gonna be adding another tally to that list here soon, as my vmodded 6800gs is starting to act REAL funny @ high clocks under 1.55vgpu
i know they did a lot of work with the bios's on the two ultra's they used for the 30K run too. custom timings and such. definitely a little more to then just slapping some pots on under LN2 and turning up the FSB. their 30K run? was not on a 790i and tri SLi - it was on a 780i DDR2 and normal SLi. it think only shows how professional that run really was - they didnt need DDR3 to do it.
i can't wait to see what these guys can do with some DDR3 on a 790i.
Nod, maybe not as high as them but pretty close to say the least. I only take other people's scores with nearly identical rigs to mine with any heart.
Thats why I dont really regard Kp or FUGGER above any of you fine gentlemen (or ladies as the case may be..mmmm, an overclocking lady... now thats some cherry picked soul mates right there .. thankfully my mrs is into ocing lol)</rant>
Seems like these days obtaining the best 3DMark06 score simply states you have a lot of money to burn, nothing else. $ buys you 3DMark06 scores as well as having "network" access to obtain beta hardware and cherry picked parts, not skill. Thats where I drop out of the race.
I get that alot.
haha that one with the LN2 truck showing up at his wearhouse... haha that was tight.
Just think of it like this.. We're the beer leagues, they're the majors.
yeah, but no props to the guys from me, give me t he same hardware and i could do the same.
