The first setup handled the strain very well during the numerous hours of torture. Rsnubje slowly increased the clocks of both the GTX 770 Lightning cards, The Intel ES i7-4770K processor was finally humming at 5900MHz, this with Hyper threading enabled. Since this is a public demo things were not pushed to the max as the setups had to be kept running during a whole afternoon. Nevertheless Rsnubje managed to set 6 new world records on his SLI powered setup. Congratz Joost, nice effort and good preparation, though pretty sure there is still some margin left :) Go nuts on the other benchmarks man!

New WRs set for the GTX 770 SLI were:

• 3DMARK03: 209288 marks
• 3DMARK05: 62553 marks
• 3DMARK06: 50490 marks
• Aquamark03: 477531 points
• 3DMARK Firestrike: 15055 marks
• 3DMARK Firestrike Extreme: 8222

The GTX770 Lightning clocks were ranging from stock to a whopping 1577MHz on the core and 1953Mhz on the memory.

The second setup suffered from many issues. Starting with erazor gum somehow ending up in the PCIe slot, to cold issues and finally condensation halted any further overclocking attempt on this rig. A typical overclockers nightmare, days of preparation and pretesting and on D-day it all goes wrong.

The single phased setup showed some great potential as the MSI 290X Lightning card was running great at +1300MHz clocks on the stock cooler during most 3D benchmarks. Clocks which usually take at least water cooling and even extremer cooling methods to achieve. Good looking card there T!no !!
