    Very nice you F**king git Batman!...Very jealous, as I can't get blocks for mine as there is no ETA!:)

    You will need to download EVGA precision 2.12. Then flick the switches on the back of the card to OC mode, so you can then use NV VDD to adjust the voltage for the core. **EDIT** YOU WILL NEED TO RESTART THE PC IN OC MODE FOR IT TO TAKE EFFECT, AND REINSTALL THE DRIVERS! **

    NV VDD is vcore
    FE VDD is memory voltage
    PEX VDD is PLL voltage

    Make sure you choose each card in the GPU selection to adjust the voltages, as it doesn't snyc the voltages to both cards.

    I want to see 1100mhz core with 1.3v vcore or less!!!

    Also there is a firmware update for the cards, so check what vbios you are running, as the latest one is 70.10.49.0081

    Check here for download. Clicky

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    :waah: I'm going to have to quit my charity sector job and get myself on that pays enough to get some of these.
    ...or I could just stop buying random cases and so much warhammer stuff. :\

    Let us know how the temperatures on these stand, would be interesting to see how far they are from the fan version.


    Random but related question; Do you guys buy your EVGA stuff from online retailers or do you buy it direct from the EVGA website?
    If from the EVGA site, how does their delivery service compare to retailers?

    Welcome to Bit tech mate :) and glad the problems sorted you just have to be a bit patient as a new user as for a little while all your posts need to be approved by a mod to stop spamming :)

    Ha, but don't you feel like your doing such good for the community etc with charity work :D
    Maybe the stop buying so much warhammer stuff and cases could help though ;)

    I purchased these from Scan.co.uk, only place that stock these beasts in the Uk I believe :)

    Definitely love my job, it would take a lot to make me change it for something else.

    I'm terrible at resisting cases when I see one going for a good price.
    I'll try cut down on spending money on the warhammer stuff... running out of shelf space for it all anyway.

    I'd probably end up going for the air cooled version, I'm too lazy to fiddle with making the water loop look perfect and if the tubes don't look right I go crazy.
