Overclocking EVGA GeForce GTX 590 Classified

[bob80]

Looks very impressive. TIN you are a master
I wait for results

I don't see the point where a LN2 Cooled GTX 590 makes any sense for Benching! The Pictures are impressive for sure, TiN's skill too but where is the Sense?

It's just a show off? You can't beat 2x SLI or 4x SLI on LN2 with this cards...

its possible that these 590 gpus are handpicked. Tin ran some 03 at 1.1Ghz +5C at 1.2v with these in SLI.

Lets talk about sense after results, whatever they will be, epic fail or epic win
Anyway - it's a challenge to overclock such a tight packed videocard, and I like pushing the real limits, even knowing that 590 is almost impossible to beat quad-SLI from single-GPU cards.

tinorambilindo you touched the 590 with the untouchables!!!

[dinos22]

no need to give up before trying kauberdude

hey Tinbo how are you going to run SLI if you have those untouchables sticking out like that, can you place them aboce the card or something?

There is a lot untested room for a solution like that on sandy imo - full 16x without NF200 plus a quick connection of the 2 chips on one pcb could yield some nice runs. I would love to see some 1000+ 03 with 5.7+ chip just for the reference. maybe 200K not so hard single card, WR on Quad-SLI pretty sure - I would call it a day! Also unigine with 2 "TiNkenstein" cards on the native 8x could do some damage. I would have quite some things to test with these babies ^^
And for Vince it might not be unfunny in 01 with that thing, even he would go with some older cards for sure just for the feeling

I think it is the biggest challenge - as read from several articles pwm can blow easy on these cards, huge problem there imo. but for you there seems to be no problem - there are only challenges (and some pcb, chokes, wires and a lot soldering iron )

I admire these things here lately!

imo its not a matter of sense, its a matter of innovation these guys are the reason our hobby is where it is and continues to grow by leaps and bounds! w00t

Theory I heard is that the gpus are picked for super low voltage operation, so the thought process is that they'll be like really low VID chips in the core2 era.
I haven't seen anybody but the madmen in this thread doing any real OCing on them due to the mosfet BOOOOM issue. I'm eagerly awaiting some results from this!

I'm sure Nvidia picks the chips for the 590. If you know how hot one leaky Fermi can be, imagine two of those on one PCB .

Will be interesting to see if the new PWM helps not blowing up the cards.

TiN - do you have experience with removing GPUs from the PCB and resoldering it to a fresh PCB?
