[8 Pack]

Heaven single card is now mine !!

Details of the bench
4770K at 5700mhz
MSI M Power Max AC MB
G.SKILL Ram 2800 10-12-12-21 1T
MSI R290X Lightning at 1610/1740
Antec 1200 PSU

Efficiency was not 100% as I had very little time to tune in the system due to running low on LN2. Still a very good overclock and I am sure the card has more in it. I was running 1640 Core clock when we ran out of LN2. Heaven is tough on GPU so 1640 Heaven translates into possibly 1675+ Firestrike Xtreme which is an Epic R290X clock.

MSI M Power Max Z97 is looking like a very solid overclockers platform.

Ragged!!!

Good job,
Shame the LN2 Ran out

 

[8 Pack]

Totally agreed!! I tested some cards for four way thinking we had another tank left and it was empty!!

 

[GiraffePencils]

Aaaw, that sucks.
You continue to give me confidence in choosing a 290 over a 780

Good work m8!

Nice work 8pack

You look a little skinny though, you might want to join a gym or something

 

[Cosimo]

Another great result! Nice one

 

[shadow_boxer]

[Bluntwrapped]

[trickynickyuk]

nice one mate keep up the hard work

 

[NeoStuey]

Nicely done sir.

 

[cwgk91]

Nicely done. How much LN2 does a run get through??

 

[8 Pack]

a lot at high GPU Volts. Maybe three litres per run. Heaven is a long bench like 4mins 30s.

 

[MooMoo444]

How can you run out of LN2?

I would have thought you have your own personal tap

 

[DJ_Bucho]

Great work dude, sounds like that MSI Lightning is a real beast. Keep up the excellent work

 

[kedge]

Is that in windows 7 x64 classic to save on resources for hardware?.

 

[cwgk91]

Wow, thats a surprising amount to get through. Really need to watch one of the videos to see how its actually done!

 

[Roady]

I didn't realise MSI shirts came in '8-pack' size!

Great work as always bigman, shame MSI didn't anticipate how hungry the pack can be!

'Can you smell what the pack is cookin'? Nothin, tis all subzero!'

Need more 'pack pics' whenever a WR is broken!

 

[8 Pack]

I agree more Pack pics for sure!!! I will mod more of my lightnings when I get back and hit some serious 4 way scores.

27BC: Marcus Agrippinus, known as Octosarcina, takes the Seventh Legion on a lightning march covering 220 miles in six days. Historical records do not state how this was achieved, but a crude form of overclocking seems to be the most likely explanation.
