Now you just need skynet bios.

Good modding.... what did you stick those heat sinks down with?

Used the glue from the Alpenföhn Passive DRAM / VRAM Chip set, bought the set a while back from OCUK to use on 290X. Ended up swapping the card out so the set was just sitting here. Thought might as well put it to use on the 980. Massive difference in temps, under 50c full load

Nice boom!

Are the heat sinks easy to remove once they've been on a while?

That's pretty good temps. Never seen those little heatsinks before, they're cute :3

No idea mate, first time I've used them. I'll likely sell this card on with the Antec 920 and heatsinks installed, so will probably never find out if they come off

Cheers, yeah it's nice and cool / quiet. Gaming doesn't even hit 50c. awesome lil cards these.

I imagine when the Ti and Titan X come along we'll see crazy temps again, although Nvidia might go back to using a vapor chamber in the reference cooler, so might not be to bad.

Give 3dmark 11 another run and see if you can improve your score.

Lol interesting.

In other news looks like my blocks shipped Friday

Rainforest has cancelled my order on the mispriced 980. I didn't expect them to follow through with it considering the massive loss they would take.

What card was it and how much did they put it up for?

The MSI 980, they listed them for £299.99

Nice one well done, with a bit more tweaking you could probably push a 21K+ Gpu score.

Reminds me of when OCUK did a today only on £30 GTX780's XD

 

[dangel]

Got my Delivery today! Added another 980! could not stick with just one after all.

Hello looks like we got much the same setup congrats!

 

[Boomstick777]

Taken the 6th position, not bad for a 980 with stock bios and AIO considering 8 Pack's cards were probably under LN2

Need more 980's on the scoreboards..

 

[Boomstick777]

24/7 setting is on EVGA SC, +82 core clock + 100 Memory clock.

Gives turbo up to 1500mhz core.

For Benching is +132 / +200. These cards are really fast..

 

[tipes]

Nice 6th place there Boom - well done, going well.

Spoiler

My EVGA 980 GTX SC with NZXT G10 with logo removed and a swish GeForce Sticker from auction site.

 

[Boldie007]

Just grabbeb myself a EVGA SC 980 too, coming from a 780.
Card will do 1500mhz boost clock on stock volts and ref cooler. Upping the voltage in Precison makes no difference, tried AB too and no joy. Anyone notice a voltage hike improve the OC on the EVGA cards?

Memory will barely break +100 before it falls over which is a shame.
