It made him look foolish to me, the video was a massive shame as the potential of what he did could have been record breaking.

I shall have to give it a look. Haven't looked at anything he has done in quite a while

Nice Chud ! Any coil noise with the sapphire?

It's seeming to be minor, it's a thing in a test like night raid with 1000fps+. But that's expected on any card really. It has a high out of the box 2507mhz boost set in the driver. So should do well on water!

Should do great on water if that reading is anything to go. My 6800XT had an auto-OC of 2509Mhz out of the box, and under water, I was getting a stable 2.7Ghz (and a benchable 2.75Ghz) out of it. Hopefully you should be able to push your 6900XT further with the additional voltage headroom.

Going to be a delay on getting the block fitted. Upon checking the screw bags this morning it only came with 5 sprung screws and needs 9! I've managed to source the 4 and are due by the end of the week.

Is that using the Auto OC feature round in Radeon Software? I just ran it and got 2549Mhz. I've never even tried this feature before tbh.

Yep, the very one. It usually gives you a reasonable idea of how good a chip you have according to Wattman. 2550Mhz should give you a superb OC once manually tweaked.

My default max frequency upon opening GPU tuning is 2504MHz. Auto OC sets 2574MHz.

I'd never tried this before either. Just had a go and it auto clocked mine to 2599 Mhz. :cool:

Auto overlocking the VRAM went to the full 2150! Surprised at that one.

Not so generous in the auto under-volt though, only shaved off 25 Mv.

Does that have a 281w default power limit then +15% on top of that? (323w)

Yeah I believe so, it's not something I've paid a particular amount of attention too but I have seen it pull figures in excess of 320w. It also has the 3x 8 pin slots. I've so far resisted the temptation of using MPT to give it a bit more juice, primarily as I'm on an 850w PSU although I never had an indication that I'm closed to exceeding that. Perhaps I will over the next week or so if I find the time. It would be nice to see what my 3D Mark bench scores would be and I know @LtMatt has shared a guide in that respect in this thread.

Yes, mine with increased power hits 2800mhz but not a mhz more, I was expecting my block on Tuesday but its been delayed for the 5th time until 15th May.
I ordered it in January!

I really want a liquid devil ultimate now....

That's the bios info.
A MBA card has a 255w limit and 293w with +15%.

OMG! Which block have you got coming?

The only one that exists in the entire world for the red devil, from a site I probably can't mention. The only site, with the only block.
It's weird because the liquid devil uses an ek block, but you can't buy one from ek for the devils
