The money does add up for blocks as well and it isn't a necessity but for pushing volts hard, you do need a minimum of a water block IMO.

Am lucky I still have my triple fan 360mm rad, fans, cpu block, water pump, res, barbs, clips etc from my old SLI 8800gtx watercooled setup..The mm is brilliant for rads, pumps and fittings though, can save a good few quid scouring the used markets.
Well done Paul and glad you got sorted.
Safe volts are 1.212V and anything over is a gamble. The HoF cards hard a couple pop with 1.3v but not sure if that is a design flaw. LN2 coolers were popping cards at 1.35v but they had no cooling on the vrm's at all as far as I am aware.
Personally, I just use over 1.2v for benching and then it is a quick bench and back to default.
As for the BIOS's, I can't say what is what, as I have used several but not the engineering BIOS (which I believe is the SLV7). I just know that Skyn3ts works and I am happy to bet money that it is his own work.
According to SLV7 and a few forum posts, Skyn3t basically put his name to this bios, SLV7 OC Edition V03 is the correct name, And took full credit for it when he did zero work towards it, Bascially stealing
I sure hope that wasn't the case and I will get in touch with Skyn3t and ask what he thinks.
I have just inspected both BIOS's and they are different. Completely different in fact.
SVL7 uses 80.10.3A.00.82 and Skyn3t uses 80.10.3A.00.80
All the boost tables are different and the common settings also differ. Different checksum as well.
Maybe you should not take Brian as gospel and ask before accusing?
But I do find it curious that since this whole debacle with SVL7 and Skynet started that SVL7 has stopped posting regular updates to his bios mods :-/"I'm not accusing anyone just passing along information I've gathered."
I only posted the differences and not getting involved. I just read Brian's response to you on that other forum and decided to examine them. I wasn't accusing you but we both know how things said can be taken literally when it isn't meant that way.
Are you also putting in [settings] and not just the 2 lines?
