They do look nicer, I'll look for a retailer in the US who carry those, thanks

Sorry - I thought you were in the UK for some reason. I can't remember where I got mine, but here is one site. I have only used Directron.com several times, but never had any problems with them:

I also use the 24-pin NZXT adaptors:

MSI GTX 580 Lightning.

I've never had a custom card - I always buy vanilla (rush for first tech).

I hear that (buying new tech that is) but lately I've been loving the non reference cards if you can manage the wait. Gigabyte, MSI and Asus always have some really nice non reference stuff to choose from that almost always OC better, run cooler/quieter and use better components. that's piece of mind to me.

dude that system is a frikken powerhouse! :rockout:

the54thvoid · May 9, 2011

Well, after some disappointment at the stock fan profile i massaged Afterburner and the Lightning is a very quiet card. Just played Metro 2033 there, 1920x1200, 4xMSAA, All DX11 goodies on inc DOF and Tesselation plus Nvidia Physx. Ran at 66-68 degrees with fans at <50% (whisper, literally a whisper of air).

Money well spent... sort of....

And yeah, this will keep me until 28nm customs come out next year. If they're any good!

Thanks for the link man :toast:

that's a very nice and clean system you've got there! :rockout:

I've always wanted to build an open system like yours, but having a 2 yr. old kid just makes it impossible to do, unless I build it in my attic

congrats on a tight setup :respect:

Thank you man! The only problem I'm having now is my SSDs are causing some random freezes in my system, I'm posting at the OCZ forums to find a solution, as it seems a lot of ppl with those drives in RAID 0 are having the same problem.

but thanks for your comments

What happened to your old system? And yeah, your current system is no slouch either! :toast:

System was fast and stable until my RAID 0 drives decided to go bonkers on me, I hope OCZ releases a new FW update soon that fixes this problem, as their boards are teeming with ppl who have the same problem as I do

I sold it and bought a laptop, and moved to Paris from Australia :eek:

but truth be told, the bright side is that in Paris, I spend less time in front of my rig, and more time with girls. I love Paris.

odd issue there with the drives, haven't dove in on an SSD yet. I'm waiting it out, I want my first setup to be 2 drives in raid 0 so when one comes out at the right price that impresses me enough i'll snag 2.

Wow! you've lived in some interesting places :toast:

Let's see, trading your rig for a laptop, but getting to hang out with some beautiful french girls instead is a total win in my book any day :toast:

Yes, it's been odd, I installed the latest beta IRST drivers, and so far my system's been running for 3 hours straight with not a single freeze, before this, it would freeze or crash after only 15~20mins of normal use :rockout:

I'm hoping this solved the issue *crosses fingers*

mlee49 · May 12, 2011

Hey everyone, I wanted to reach out to all the GTX580/570 owners here on behalf of the F@H team. TPU is fighting for second place in the annual F@H Chimp Challenge and any help from heavy hitters like you could really make a difference.

You may or may not know that Nvidia cards do a great amount of work for F@H and the 580/570 does an excellent job. If half of the clubhouse could commit to folding for a day or two TPU would be really grateful.

If your interested in helping please go to the F@H section and post in the Chimp Challenge thread.

Is that a reference vanilla card with an aftermarket cooler ? I see that you have it at Superclocked speeds

I just got around to OC'ing my 570 last night for the first time.

yap EVGA's Vanilla GTX 570 card not SC or want u will call it standart non-oc'ed card, the former owner just installed this Gelid Icy Vision cooler on it and it does the job oki even the fans spins with around 2010~2040rpms all the time ~.~

douglatins · May 16, 2011

damn it i need to update this thing... I am also replacing my EVGA Gtx580 for a lightning

GC_PaNzerFIN · May 16, 2011

EVGA GTX 580 + AC Accelero Xtreme Plus. You would think it is impossible to get this fast graphics card at inaudible noise level with air cooling, but no problem.

the54thvoid · May 16, 2011

Behold the most beautiful card in the world...

and without the porn blue lights...

At stock it doesn't much break 60 degrees with a customised fan profile at about 48% speed and that's BC2 at 1900x1200 8MSAA and everything on max. Douglatins, you wont regret it but you will want to tweak the fan profile, it's set loud at default to keep it way under 60 degrees but I found this profile helps...

Managed to run 950 core on 3Dmark11 and it didn't explode (but admittedly got very loud!!)

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · May 16, 2011

Very nice. Didnt know that the finish on that thing was kind of like brushed aluminum

the54thvoid · May 16, 2011

Yeah, it's really quite cool. It's also absolutely massive. 12" long and a good bit taller than the normal 580. I chuckled when i took it out of the box.

theonedub · May 16, 2011

^ Great card, was my first pick as far as 580s. Amazon had them for cheap, but cancelled my order- I got a TFII 580 though at a great price instead

Is it worth the cost, with no real performance upgrade?
I warrantied my 580GTX which was acting up at stock clocks, and got returned a used 580GTX OC (MSI) instead. Stock at 822mhz. Managed to get it up to 960mhz.

Did you smell the box when you opened it?

I can't tell you what I did when i opened it..... It'd make you feel used.

Managed to do a quick run on Kombustor and Unigine 2.5 at 950 core, 1100 memory. No artifacts at all. It's a lovely card. I've not bothered trying for 1Ghz but i think it will given my lack of effort to get to 950.

Kombustor stability test for 8+ mins: Maxed out at 74 degrees

Extreme Tesselation, 16xAF, 8xAA, 1920x1200 32.6 FPS average (Did 29.1 at stock 832, so it's a 12% increase on that).

Very very nice bro :toast:

I was considering on getting that card but its abit too pricey in Aus :cry:

douglatins · Jun 8, 2011

So i installed the card, I don't care about loud fans as long as not delta loud, if they are more silent then stock i know i won't care, cause i game with headphones, today is a chilly day and i was loading at 60%fan at 60C in heaven benchmark.

I was only sad that i had to remove my side fan duct (hafx)

Also i replaced the fan on the side for a 230mm, the holes match perfectly i just had to dremel the rounded edges to fit. And the older went to the top, keeping the other company.
Also i replaced the rear one with a bitfenix 140mm red led fan and installed a red led kit from nZXT, still have a white one left, might install too.
Didn't want to install those NZXT extension PSU cables, the quality didn't impress me, not as smooth like corsair PSUs one.

Also i like to keep a straight line fan profile, i don't like constant switching like that ramp u have void, i have 40-60-70-75-80-90 with some temps to match

Im kinda excited due to the card, reason why i sound like a sissy girl

I have mine adjusted so tat it stays very quiet up to about 70 degrees (about 50% fan speed).

The most i get is 55% gaming at about 72-75 degrees. If i keep stock profile it's louder but stays mid 60's at load.

And my card still excites me too

I'll be waiting for a lightning when the 6 series comes out (or 7 series from AMD, whichever is better!)
