From what I have seen, you need heavier/shorter wires or you are going to have too much voltage drop when under higher load. Some guys use solid copper and as short as possible... You can look at Tin's pics on kingpin cooling forums.
The wires are 12 AWG and there are 30 for +V and 18 for GND(I'm going to add more once I know the card starts). I'm fully aware of how this is usually done however there is literally no space between the 2 cores. I either have to use long wires or I can forget about cooling. Here's TiN's GTX 590: http://hwbot.org/submission/2178478_tin_3dmark_vantage___performance_geforce_gtx_590_47249_marks
Also I don't need a spectacular level of holding voltage. My target is 1.1V at the core so if I have to set 1.4V and get 300mv of drop I'm OK with it.

Also, do you have an evbot? Hopefully, because they are harder to get than the epower...
ReplyDeleteIf not, then you will need this:

Thanks for the info but I already know about this stuff.
