Elmor and Kinc Run ASUS GeForce GTX 580 at 1504/3008/5012 MHz, Set New Vantage Record
Renowned overclockers elmor and Kinc did the unthinkable, breaching the 1500 MHz barrier for the core (geometry domain) clock speed of GeForce GTX 580. Using ASUS EN580GTX DirectCu graphics card, the duo managed to achieve 1504 MHz core, 3008 MHz CUDA cores, and 1253 MHz (5012 MHz GDDR5 effective) memory, churning out 240.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. With this in single-card configuration, the testbed consisting of Intel Core i7-990X clocked at 6.14 GHz and 6 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1750 MHz, and ASUS Rampage III Extreme motherboard, the duo achieved a 3DMark Vantage score of P45819 (performance preset), setting a new record.
The bench was powered by a 1200W Antec HCP PSU, the graphics card ran with a whopping 1.62V vGPU, and 1.86V vMem, it is estimated that the graphics card drew 600W (12V, 50A) of power in itself. The CPU and graphics card were cooled using liquid nitrogen evaporators, the GPU VRM was directly air-cooled, using a high-flow fan. A number of hard volt-mods were employed to achieve those voltages.

1504/5012 clocks on the 580 is just flat out insane:)
Don't forget the 6.14GHz oc on the cpu! Getting all of these highly overclocked compenents to run together in harmony is what overclocking is all about.
To all those that don't see any sense to this kind of work/hobby, will to each their own:D
I really can't believe some people on here... I mean I would LOVE to do stuff like this. I'm not saying everyone should of course, its just something certain people like and are interested in. If you don't, you don't, that's fine.
No, no one would run this system on a daily basis, that's obvious...
No one drives around in NASCARs on the street on a daily basis either, but they still have millions of people watch them race around in a circle. No one drives around on nitro bikes that do 0-60 MPH in 2.3 seconds on a daily basis either.
It kind of goes for anything really... Did we NEED to send people to the moon and build rocket ships? Not really... but it was still done. And I might add, machines and technology were pushed to the limit to do so.
Does an Olympic swimmer swim every where they go? No. Why don't you go tell them "You don't use your swimming on a daily basis, so no one cares."
I know I'm kinda comparing apples to oranges here a bit. But if you really "don't care" why bother commenting in here at all? :confused: Seems to be a waste of your time and a waste of time to the people that enjoy this.
How interesting a FORUM will be, where everybody agrees/has the same opinion with the topic in discussion :confused:
As for all this it has to be 24/7 stable no it doesn't thats the whole point of this LN2+hardwork=WR not most stablr rig ever. the entire point of this is to have fun and clock the shit out of stuff why ruin that with stability. in fact i dont think there is a prime 95 bench on hwbot.
if i was i would be pushing my stuff that hard also :laugh: but i pay for mine and i dont even have a current card newest is a 4870 right now :p
What is shame is they run it at 1744Mhz they should of push the UnCore and 1910-1920Mhz on the kit at 8-7-8-22 and that would of run at vDRAM 1.72v.
O and these are still sold out v2 is hypers :)
If your commenting on it's not neat in any way because it can't be run 24/7 then don't bother reading the article only to thread crap.
These records are important because it help manufacturers make better hardware, so people can run their systems "in real life conditions" . . .:slap::slap:
I'm sorry that in your opinion that this is not of value to anyone, but that's your opinion and not fact.
