Stage 3 - Liquid Nitrogen (LN2)
With each pass we reach lower to absolute low temperatures... nearing -90 Degrees C now.
Once we have it all cooled down, the GPUs will each receive a nice dosage of Liquid Nitrogen and we start cooling them down quickly. It's time to start up our overclocking session.
There are a lot of tweaking options on that board but the general settings for 5500 MHz are:
- CPU bootup vcore: 1.77v
- Eventual CPU vcore: 1.81v
- Memory: 1.74v
- IOH: 1.35v
- VTT: 1.40v
- PCIE: 111 MHz
Based on this LN2 session we reached roughly 5500 MHz per processor and the four GTX 480 GPUs each in sequence run at 1050 MHz, the memory is running 2200 MHz CAS10 at this point.
Let's call in some help...
