I am looking forward to seeing what the classys can pump out. I would imagine temps being the biggest draw back or do they remain pretty cool still in Tri SLI?

Max temps i've had so far are top 52/middle 49/bottom 43 degrees
after 2 hrs BF3.

So should be ok up to a certain voltage.:eek:

If not depending how well they seem to clock
I'll invest in the full blocks for them :D
 
I have noticed something interesting in the picture link I did on this page.

Earlier I was benching single cards and when I finished I decided to swap them round so that my best card was in slot 1 and the other one in slot 3. I looked at the boost for the gpus in the picture and have noticed all 4 are boosting higher than they have before using my oc settings.
 
I found that by putting my highest clocking card in the top slot, it improved my SLI scores by a fair amount. I didn't know if this was just luck or it had some bearing... I get my other LTG tomorrow, so will do some testing once my rig is all set up.

Gonna have a play about tomorrow with sli only and play with
the bios settings etc to see if this changes anything

Hoping its a Classified thing thats sorted with Evbot,can't see it though as not everyone who
has the Classys will use Evbot
 
OK built my new PC and this is my result.

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4565562

This is completely at stock with a fresh install of windows.

Any advice of how to increase it, I'll take on board, heard something about upping the voltage on the 690?

Obviously overclocks will come at some point. Haven't had much time to play with it and I wont until Sunday

EDIT: Apparently I was relatively sleepy last ngiht and haven't done anything with the RAM , that might explain why it's a little low! :p

Added your score Eva and it does look low on the GPU side of things. Kaapstad is your man for overclocking the 690. I use MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precison X. They are essentialy the same programs, just with different lay outs. I am not sure if when you overclock the core, it does both but I imagine it doesn't and you will need to do each GPU seperately.

1. Start with pushing the power limit to the far right.
2. slide the core clock to about +50
3. Slide the Mem to about +300
4. stick the fans at max
5. Apply
6. Repeat for the next GPU (if needed)

Run 3Dmark11. If no crashing or the driver has stopped responding error, add 10 to the core clock for each and add 50 to the mem clocks of each. If you start seeing pretty lights flashing on the screen when you run 3Dmark11, back off the memory and goto the last run that didn't give the flashing. Then only work on the core clocks.

It can be tiresome but this is a way to find out if you got lucky in the chip lottery or not :)

Hope this helps.

Get overclocking that 3770K.

Vcore to 1.24V and multiplier to x44 is a good place to start. Then test for stability and reduce vcore until unstable.

Anything over 4.4 requires a large amount of volts for each 100 MHz jump but for reference mine are something like:

4.4 - 1.19V
4.5 - 1.25V
4.6 - 1.32V
4.7 - 1.42V

I then gave up :D.

I was just trying to compare Sandy and Ivy voltages as they both seem to use around the same until they hit around 4.5-4.6GHz. I need to be more clear on my reply next time :)
Click to expand...

Ivy is much, much less voltage until 4.4/4.5 (equivalent of about 4.7-4.8 on Sandy) and then it spirals out of control.

If they released a new stepping which had proper contact between the cores and the heatsink, even though the voltages were high the temps would allow it to push 4.9-5.0 as a 24/7 clock.

Unfortunately as soon as you go over 1.4V you're in danger territory without de-lidding it. I can stably run a benchmark but Prime is a no-go purely due to temperatures. It heats them up to 93-94c :D. #

The heatsink makes little to no difference, the issue is getting the heat into the heatsink in the first place.

I was talking about these that u quoted.. they are 'around' the same as my 2700K at these clocks but i suppose every chip is different.
