running, will be there shortly

this is really PnP, didn't do nothing except remove the blacktape! will post pics and some comments to upgrade from 580m, but tomorrow we will get the comments of 580m upgrade from two grandmasters so it will be much better

Not as impressive as Slick's run because my damn CPU (2920xm, I am having heat issues) throttled in the middle of the run will seriously switch back to my 2760qm

anyway still proves the point I guess right?

check if your pads and pastes are put properly, there might be some problem with the conductors (stuff on top of the card) or VRAM. I got something similar when I installed GTX 580M.

it was the alignment or the heatsink was weird, did you change your heatsink going from 6990m to 580m?? weird thing is I think I am missing some thermal pad, I will receive some pads soon I guess, darned frozencpu still didn't send them I will check everything tomorrow morning, for now I am going to bed I guess

glad to see you got the card working. Where you think you are missing a thermal pad?
