From ASUS ROG FB page: Ooops, CineBench (6-Core) http://hwbot.org/benchmark/cinebench_r11.5/ Current 6-Core WR was/is Pixy with 18.01 pts (1 week ago) http://hwbot.org/submission/2423608_ Other claims seems to be right. EDIT: Fixed versions: V1: V2:

I came across one of these guys' review and decided to check out their website. Rather quickly I realised this site seems to hand out awards and high-point scores on a regular basis. In fact ... they do it in every single review. I'm done with this website. Their point-scoring metholody is pretty much useless (giving almost everything 9/10 or higher) and so area their awards. I sincerely hope no hardware vendors are bragging with those awards ... they just give them away for free it seems. And although there supposed to be a system for the awards, they seem to be handed out almost randomly. Some products have the exact same score, but still receive different awards! …

Two weeks ago last Wednesday I had a massive heart attack and came very close to leaving this little journey through life. Except for what I would call incredible efforts of over 100 people at two hospitals I doubt I'd be here. I'd been feeling what I'd call a little "draggy"..No energy,etc for the last couple years and I put it down to age but it was all the arteries in my heart clogging up. Now with 5 stents in them I feel better in many ways than I have in years. Sucks to get older but it beats the alternatives. Dave

Sssshheeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiit. Looks like Christian has pushed them MFRs a little too far as they're all going up in flames!!!!! http://www.kitguru.net/components/memory/faith/hynix-fabs-on-fire-after-chemical-explosion/

Post your best looking/envy-inducing hardware pics here! Got the idea (and the picture) from some other forum. I forgot which one...

Sister thread to "The Rage" I have just embarrassed myself by benching with what I can only guess is a dodgy SLI bridge connection. LN2 clocks couldn't beat guys running on air. Awesome Weirdly, i'm not mad. Probably a bad sign EDIT: Just checked my result screenies. All except one were in PCI-E 1.1 mode. Wow. Fail indeed!

How long has this autocorrect been in place? I just noticed it the other day and now I'm seeing it all over the place. It's hilarious...

Just checked the database an in less than two months we hit the 5000 XTU Profiles mark and over 4000 score results. Also, two weeks in the contest there are 100 people playing and over 250 results. XTU is going waaaaay better than expected. It's really nice to see a big project like this turn out the way it does. Thanks to everyone supporting the software and spreading the love! Couldn't do this without the community's support, that's for sure! :celebration::celebration::celebration: :celebration::celebration::celebration: :celebration:

Last year I spent quite a while looking into eSports and the organisation and I was not too impressed with the level of professionalism. Last night I stumbled upon the Lolesports.com website and spend the next three hours looking at various movies and explanatory articles. This is just crazy. Check out the Season2 re-cap video above! First time I was genuinly impressed with eSports, I guess. Damn!

Hi all! I posted this thread directly on off topic section, cause whole event have been like that every time since 2008 It is meant to be OC gathering, but usually it have been just awesome weekend with good friends! This year won't do any difference, I think! People who take part are (Nicknames): Neoforce, Slamms, Smoke, Tiborr, Xtreme Addict, Pepinorang, Giorgioprimo, Mean Machine, Asmola, Macci and me SF3D. So, on Friday we will go here to relax (Beer, Vodka and Sauna): Saturday is bench day and we have plenty of 4770K's, VGA's and some secret hardware to bench. After benching we will head to City festival in Tampere to look how we party in Fi…

Team CP in the top 10 and ahead of Massman's team? Must be time for the next algorithm revision to be instituted.

Oh if only this were true ... :D:D (source: http://extremespec.net/major-tournament-overclocking-held-computex-2013/)

Attended the AMD Richland event in Tokyo Japan and saw this box-art poster by AMD. That CPU looks a lot like the Intel CPUs, to be honest ...

These people poured LN2 in the pool to make smoke, it then reacted to the chlorine in the pool (according to the article) and created a toxic cloud that hospitalized 8 and one in a coma. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2344213/Man-21-left-COMA-faint-organizers-Mexico-pool-party-promoting-Jagermeister-pour-liquid-nitrogen-water.html dayum! Thats kinda unlucky that it mixed with the pool, i pour it in my pool all the time didn't know it could be dangerous if i swam in it

... finally. It's been a crazy last three weeks

Smile for the camera! Yeah ...

WTH?! Not sure what happened there.

Not sure if you know, but Frederik (RichBa5tard) moved into a new house a few weeks ago. That not only means a new home residence, but also a new office space for the HWBOT. Luckily, there was room in the garage to make an office. Here are some pictures: ETA: mid-october

Yes it is possible, but is it worth it ? Will we see LN2 pots on it ? I received two boards so... if one mod fails I can still try another. Anyone else interested ?

Hey guys, just watching Revolution today and found "Massman" playing one role:D
