hahaha

He keeps saying he will go watercooling, now he's got no excuse

Only half true, the Lightning cooler is a masterpiece, probably the best thing about the card

I agree, everything else is there to look nice and have you waste your money or just incase you happen to be 8pack, kingpin or someone else who has access to MSIAB Extreme

From what i hear they are excellent coolers and tbh if Matt was going to go water it would have made more sense with his reference cards.

If i had those Lightnings i wouldn't bother putting them under water either.

You want help getting unlocked volts?

1 billion phases and no water? Shame...

True it has a great cooler on it.

The card does nothing a ref 290x cant do (Other than being a pain in the ass when benching)

That's why I decided not to buy one when the deal was available, I'll just stick with my Tri-x for now.

I've still got my 7970 Ltg tucked away in it's box.

Most fun I had with mine was trying to kill it on air lol. Thankfully MSI's RMA-Protection stopped that from happening. That and in contrast, the ridiculously low VRM temps on that cooler

You're not even allowed to kill the card you paid for thats the freedom MSI gives you on these amazing Lightnings .

So much for 50000 phases and sammy memory. Useless.

I still remember that reply you received...


"Try not to overclock more than 100mhz or you could damage your card!"

Spend thousands on R&D for this beefed product and then put Joeys on the support desk.

 

[Rangerjr1]

I was asking for MSIAB Extreme so i could actualy utilize my Lightnings VRM and stuff.

Dear sir/madam

Thanks for contacting MSI technical support.

Regarding your concern,you can download the MSI afterburner .you can use MSI afterburner to overclock,but It is worth noting that Overclocking can't too much,It is better to within 100 MHZ,Otherwise it will harm the graphics card.

Thanks for your cooperation in advance!

Best Regards,
MSI Technical Support Team

I put it into my son's rig, semi-retired life of a legend.

Shouldn't take the pee. Then again that's what MSI were doing when they decided to throttle the amperage so low on this card .


Should probably stop killing Matt's buzz
