Okay I'm back from vacation and we have less than ten hours to get this thing together, overclocked, and tested. Wish us luck!

Good luck!

Well we didn't manage to get into the competition, mainly because we ran out of time, but we were also having issues with transfering results and the harddrive was less than willing to install benchmarking programs . I think we might mod the card BIOS today and see if we can get more voltage. I will update on how it turns out!

Well after not entering the overclocking comp I figured I would let everyone in on the temps we got. The core temp on the card refused to break 32c at max load. I think we might perform a BIOS flash on the card to get the voltages up then resume overclocking.

Okay were getting XP on this thing! This means we can overclock, BIOS mod, port files over etc. more easily. Shweet! I'm also working on a sketchup model of the rig for those of you who like that sort of thing

Okay guys a bit of an update for you. The sketchup model is coming along and I figured I would upload some images of its progress for your viewing pleasure.
Yes I realize they are VERY incomplete, but M2K3 and I have been busy with other things. Anyway until next time!
