ouch i feel for ya that has to suck balls

i see all those excelent chips and it makes me jealous, mines is okay 1.4v on 3.6ghz, might see what it can do on 1.45v and keep it like that for good

Yeah it sucks major balls, I don't know what happened to it, just out of nowhere it started acting up. I must of had a horrible chip from the start because it used to take 1.45v+ just to get 3.6 stable, I bet now it would take like 1.5v if not more. Also what really sucks is that I'll have to rma my mobo and psu along with it. A SATA port on the mobo is dead already and the fan on the psu is dieing :mad: :banghead:<-- That's what I feel like doing right now.

if you're going to buy 2x 4830's and 2x 4850x2's, why not just get 4x 4890's? They are $40 off right now on the Egg.. :D
Click to expand...

x2 overclocked is just as about as fast and would be as fast or faster after a vmod

4930 BTW has the same core as the 4890


Now I'm wondering if it would use one core from each x2 card/

I used to run mine at 1.5V just to be stable at 3.6GHZ, this chips run cool anyways compared to PI's. My temps never went above 45C under load. With open case and my AC freezer Xtreme.


@ Damulta what are you gonna do with that helium?

I believe it is already liquid in the tank and when it comes out it turns into a gas.
Now if you turn the tank upside down it will come out as a liquid. I was looking at trying something like that with one of those small tanks you can get at wal mart.

You are bidding on one used MVE Cryogenics USHE-30 Liquid Helium Container Tank. We do not know the condition of this item, however it shows no visible signs of damage.

We are unable to test this tank, as we have no way of filling it or pressurizing it. As there are no signs of damage, we have no reason to believe it is broken, but we cannot make any guarantee.

Since we cannot test this item, we are selling it AS IS
