Get a Lightning!
I've been doing some reading about the Classified over at EVGA.com and it doesn't look that impressive honestly. Couple that with the $660+EVBot=
$760 and it's
definitely not worth it. I don't know what the max voltage is through EVBot, so someone might go with a Classified if they were getting a waterblock for it so they could run a ton of voltage through it if the max voltage is high. But as of right now...55% fan speed? Here's a pic of the one owner doing a Heaven run at only 1325mhz, hitting
75C (and requiring almost 1.29v to do so too. May be contributing to the high temps, but still :/ )
He then goes on to say..."I tried going as high as 1.3v,
then it throttled down to 1084MHz and stayed there for several min, and I couldn't get it to go back up thereafter. So I tried to reduce the Voltage and it crashed when I dropped one notch below 1.2875V."
"...
55% is just too low... this is about all I'm going to get for now I'm sure. One Classified owner has reported getting as high as 1425MHz on air,
but then throttled back cause of temps."
Bottom line....Get a Lightning
