No worries, I'm just procrastinating. >.< LOL.

Lovely bit of kit isn't it?

Yeah, its lovely alright, though just loading in all drivers, progs etc as I've done a fresh windows install, takes ages with all the updates! :eek:

I'll get some gaming done tomorrow and a bit of overclocking too :)
 
I did a fresh windows just the other day for the new mobo. omg. first time I turned it off "installing updates 1 of 144" -_______________-! crashed too LOL.

Eager to know what your oc result is. My better clocker will do +116core(1320mhz) +595 mem(~7200mhz) on the LN2 bios when not in SLi.

Haven't tested in SLI yet because my water isn't set up properly and I don't want to tax the cpu/cooling too much until i have it sorted. Need waterblocks too >.<.

Also, I noticed in the screenshot of the 2002mhz kingpin world record on the classified that the voltage was reported as "1.212v" in evga precisionX, which afaik is based on the rivatuner platform as well. If that's so then I'm guessing that 1.212 v is the most that afterburner will read, as he obviously didn't get 2002mhz on 1.212 volts haha.

So in reality I have no idea how much extra core voltage the LN2 bios is currently applying by default without the new version of afterburner. hopefully not too much.. I wanna go higher ;D.
Well, what I mean is, I hope it is actually applying 1.212 and not more than just can't be read. If so, that 0.037 bump in volts took me from +65 to +116 :D.

Eh?
 
challenge accepted, I'll weigh it tomorrow alongside my 580 :D
580 phantom - 0.92KG
680 lightning - 1.098KG

0.178KG difference for a much larger card.

Trie to merge so I wasn't triple posting but can't delete my own posts lol.

Anyways, the rivatuner creater received his lightning:

Some update and good news:

I decided to shift my vacation a bit and my Lightning finally arrived yesterday. Happily I managed to bypass the main problem with new I2C bus access on Keplers in less than two hours after installing the card. So now all 3Lightning voltage controllers (core, memory and PLL) and thermal controllers are visible to software and programmable. There are still some things left to do, right now core voltage control disables dynamic core voltage adjustment, so changing voltage results in setting maximum fixed voltage in idle as well.
But anyway even now it is better that "voltage control" offered on any 680 card by other vendors.
I hope that I'll be able to implement alternate voltage control in offset form for dynamic Kepler volatge control.
