testing out my pelt

[hpntct]

Yeah, I know flatness is the key. I also use a sheet of glass, use 320, 400, 600, 800, 1500 grit sandpaper. Then I use lapping compound but I don't get near the shine rhino gets. Guess the key to the shine is spending alot of time. Again, flatness is the key but if you can get a shine that you can see yourself in, that's just cool.

the finer grits take take time is all, and not pressing so hard on them also helps. but it also depends on the metals. ive been sharpening chisels for wood carving to a mirror finish for years so this was something already had quite a bit of experience with. but its not hard to do by any means, just takes patience.

so i taped a probe onto the molex and its way too hot. im gonna have to get some low resistance connectors. its too hot to grab a hold of almost.

im currently testing the set up for leaks.

so i got it up and running on my award winning 9800 pro. WOOHOO!!
sits idle at around 14C i just ran 3dmark for a score of 6479 at all stock no tweaks whatsoever.
the temp didnt go over 20c the whole test
im really glad to finally have this up and running.

hit 460 core with 27C artifact free in ati tool

i plugged in the vmod and the core volts went to 1.8 and it hit 480 artifact free at 30C.
i love this setup

that doesn't sound like all that high of clocks, as i got higher clocks than that at 1.8v on my 9700TX flashed to PRO. I even managed a 3DMark2001 run at 495 iirc.
what did it do on air?
(for those of you who don't know, I sold this to him)

480 artifact free at ambient temps is pretty good.
if i hooked up my chiller i would easily go above 500 core artifact free.
this card hit 447 stock cooling.

i never really clocked it as high as it will go i just have gone slightly over the artifact free point for benching.

i did a bench at 507/409
but that was at around 6 or 7 C
