If you can use it now, and you want it now - do it! IMO it's not worth waiting on the next gen until it's right around the corner.

Here is the new Alphacool NexXxos XT45 Triple 180 radiator in my FT02. I had to cut a bit of the fan housings to make it fit. If I didn't, The fit would be so tight that I would have to force the side panel on and possibly ruining...

In the graphs in MSI Afterburner, you can see if the cards actually reach the clocks you supply. Check it out and post the results.

In my opinion, just bump all the voltages to the max: +93 mV core. +100 mV memory. +50 mV aux. Power Limit to 300%. This has got me 195 MHz on the core and 500 on the memory. Try it and see what happens.

Go to the Lightning Owners Club here on OCN. There is a guide on which BIOS version to use. My Lightning came with the original LN2 BIOS which does 300 on power limit and 93 mV on the core. Not to mention all the other voltages.

Does any of you know of a vendor in Europe, that sells mechanical keyboard dampeners? You know those rings you can place underneath the key caps.

It is not like you will be able to run super high memory frequencies on an Ivy anyway. 4,5 Ghz is just fine. A few hundred MHz more will not land you an incredibly higher score. I believe it will work out just fine once you put some...

Tried the LN2 BIOS with all voltages maxed out? If you don't tinker with the voltage, I believe a Lightning will clock the same as pretty much any other GTX 680.

Overclock them and you should see much higher scores.
