Thats pretty much what 8 Pack said earlier in the thread, I guess the major overall system score benchers are waiting for IB-E NDA to lift before going full tilt.
Thanks again for posting on here too

3970X @5.5GHz for 3d 11 and 5450 for firestrike
How many volts do you recon we can put through them on air - 1.3v?
Benching, probably ~1.35v with the fans ramped up. I remember reading a 7970 lightning review where they put the fans to 100% & ran at 1.35v with something like 1275mhz and the card didn't break 60c. So given that this new cooler is better we should be ok benching at around that voltage on air.
Kingpin managed 1400mhz at 1.35v on air with a 780 classified, so we're probably looking at speeds in the 1300-1450 range before water and big volts.

I can only see one problem with me getting this card, being as it'll be on air for a few months. My case temps will rise, increasing the risk of condensation/beading for my loop 
Not sure on how well my fans are currently setup on my case, they're all set to 600rpm atm though, what would you think the case temp would rise to with a single 780 pumping it out for 2 or 3 hours gaming? The main cause of condensation isn't necessarily the heat its the humidity, i should have probably doused my board/everything in vas before putting back inside the case

So it is worth waiting for this instead of getting a 780 with ACX?
The $1m question is, how many cards did Kingpin go through to find one that did 1.4GHZ.
A good point, its not completely unthinkable though, I mean we have many ref 780's hitting 1200mhz+ on stock 1.21v, add another 140mv in to the mix and you'd have to be thinking around that 1400mhz mark.
I'd imagine like the lightning chips, classified chips are also binned too.
Lightning will require its own block, custom PCB.
