I moved to a new location this week, still most stuff in boxes, Verizon FIOS has some sweet connection speeds like nothing I have ever seen. signed up for the 75 MB down 35 MB up, test shows I am getting 84 MB down 39 MB up, I like it. I got 2 test benches for my 2 systems before I moved and have been waiting to transfer the hardware until I moved. so this morning I transferred one system onto Top Desk Test Station and got it up and running. I will tackle the other as soon as I go through some boxes to find some parts, what a hassle, pack it up for easy identification and can find everything except what I'm looking for. I took a couple pics with my cell phone, not very good but posting them anyway.
M6E with a 4770K cooled by Corsair H100i for now, with 8 GB of GSkill 2666 mhz Ram and a GTX 680 this should keep me connected till I tear into the CaseLabs and install that hardware on another test bench.
I have no idea how you guys take such nice pictures

I can't wait to see the results when the 290X goes under water, the temp seems to be what is stopping it.
I wonder if the you can unlock the 290's to 290X, like with the 6950's that you could unlock to 6970's(not all of them but still alot of them).
My sapphire 6950 came with the second bios unlocked so all I had to do with that card was flip the bios switch and shaders were unlocked.

I have seen a couple people report flashing there 290 to 290x on another forum, there is a voltage unlocked bios floating around the net, I can't say yet what if any difference in clocks from going water cooling yet, but soon, the blocks were out of stock at the moment
I guess I should add a disclaimer about flashing bios's and over volting is at your own risk, I am sure everyone here understands the risk involved of bricking your hardware

OC is mandatory, if it can be OC'd it shall be OC'd :cool:
Voltage control and waterblocks should do the trick, lower temps will almost always give you more OC headroom. And since the card is set to run at 95C the room for more OC could be pretty big by bringing it down to 35-40C.
I got a universal VGA block, that made a huge difference on my 7970 DC2 top, 1260Mhz was absolute max with stock cooler but with the waterblock it passes 3dmark @1340Mhz. And it's great for the growing pile of old GPU's 🙂
