Guide LN2 avec la GTX980 MATRIX

Xtreme Addict vient de publier sur le forum de Hwbot un guide sur ses impressions et conseils lors du passage sous froid de l’Asus GTX980 Matrix Platinium. Ces conseils me seront bien précieux puisque après quelques soucis pour remettre la main sur de l’azote, çà devrait être chose faite ce week-end !

Voici la configuration qu’il a utilisé pour ses tests : Intel i7 5960X @ cooled by 8ECC Fusion 3.1 / Asus Rampage V Extreme / Asus GTX 980 Matrix Platinum @ cooled by EK-SF3D Critical Point EVO / 4×4 GB Kingston HyperX 3333C17 Hynix single – sided MFR / 120 GB Kingston HyperX 3K / 2x Galax 1200W HOF PSU with removed OCP / Thermal paste used – Gelid GC Extreme for both CPU and GPU.

LN2 TIPS:
1. Use FIXED MEM MHz 3D bioses (link above). With stock LN2 bios I couldn’t reach 2200 MHz stable, with FIXED bios I was benching 2250 MHz and 2200 MHz was very stable!
2. Try to set clocks and voltages (especially VMEM) at around -90 to -100*C. Trying push high memory voltage with high frequency at around -120*C occurs in freeze in idle.
3. Don’t plug in Matrix OC Panel if you want to use more than 1.6 VGPU.
4. MEMORY HEATER always ON, it won’t fry your memories, don’t worry. It turns off if ICS temperature is +10*C and turns on again below +10*C.
5. Clock step by step, 2000 GPU, 2050 GPU, 2100 GPU.
6. Best clocks you can achieve when card is fresh.
7. GPUTweakIT works flawlessly, don’t be afraid to use it anymore.
