    Anyone know where I can get the 2kW US Plug x2 XOC bios for this. I recently modded my breaker box with my new tig welder, you know like a shunt mod so I should be able to handle it. Thanks in advance, it would be a shame to let this $10,000 pot go to waste

  6. Hi Guys, I need a Dewar repairing guide . Attaching pics of the vacuum port. When I removed the vacuum port ,it sucked on the air hard for 2 seconds. So what I am thinking that there must be another reason for it to go bad. At the same time, I am unable to see any cracks on the surface. Nevertheless I want to re-vacuum and see the performance. Any input would be of great help. Thank You

    I know no one has time for this (I don't even have time for this), but if someone has any idea, I'd be grateful! I acquired a "for parts" 132-BL-E758, one of the first batch of 1366 boards, basically for free, allegedly with bent pins. I found a few mildly bent pins, straightened them out, and can't for the life of me get it to post. Googling shows me that lots of people had issues with these boards, and in my experience EVGA boards are finicky at best. Any ideas? I'm getting FF-F3-F6-62 loop, and a thorough visual inspection reveals nothing has popped.

    Hello all Creating this offtopic since it does not fit the HWBOT Marketplace - Wanted or For Sale branches. Observation: I am not associated with ElmorLabs. A while back I tried to get my hands on a Universal Debug-LED Card but there was no stock at the time. This is a review for the product: Universal Debug LED Card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gRLJmiawnA& Due to having tried to find alternative solutions in the past I am posting this article. For anyone interested a LPC Debug Card is available at ElmorLabs website. https://www.elmorlabs.com/index.php/product/lpc-debug-card/ Happy Debugging.

    Hi guys, didn't want to share this before I would take action but since apparently the infamous ziken is trying to sell hardware to people via direct messages/PMs I thought to let you guys know. tl;dr: bought 2x 5870 matrix with apower and 2x 4850 matrix end of 2019 which were shipped with one week delay. Received all and the "good" 5870 was dead with cracked core (2nd one was trash or heavily degraded). Paypal (and possibly him) requested to give me full refund after returning all 4 cards (even tho I opened the case requesting refund for the broken one). Sent the stuff, he received them and didn't notify paypal so he can keep the money (also blocked me o…

    For anyone not a secret is that there is now a shortage of Intel processors of the 10th series from Socket2066. I am interested in the 18-core model 10980XE, but it is nowhere in the US (I plan to purchase in this region). Maybe someone know where to buy ?, although I track information on special sites for availability, but nowhere is there any deadline. Perhaps someone knows those who work or relate to Intel directly and make the situation worse. De jure there was a paper announcement, de facto there was nothing else, and almost 2 months have passed. https://www.gearinstock.com/intel-core-i9-10980xe-processor-pre-order-in-stock-availability-tracker/

  22. I was fortunate enough to find in 2019 thirty ! brand-new, never-used retro processors Pentium MMX 200 Mhz, which also have a very fresh production date at the end of 2004 Below is a story about this link. https://translate.google.by/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Foverclockers.ru%2Flab%2Fshow%2F99739%2Fretrokloking-silikonovaya-lotereya

  23. Hello all I have some bad news to share with you. TLDR please don't buy/sell/trade with @Ziken until I have managed to get my money back from him. I bought a binned 8700K from @Ziken a few months back to go in my Z170 motherboard. I recieved the CPU and not having a way to test it immediately, I proceed to perform the mod for 1151-1 comptability. The CPU never reached the start of the POST codes in my testing - two motherboards failed to detect there was a CPU present. Given that the modding process worked perfectly fine with a similar CPU (G5400) I can only assume that the 8700K died during transit. I made this clear to Ziken and he offered to refund me when th…

    Can somebody please explain how points are calculated and how/what they appear in the profile ? Yesterday I uploaded 20+ tests with a GTX 1060 6gb (GP106) and in total I got around 150 _160 hardware points but in my profile I only got like 5-7 points (going from 1498 if I remember corectly to now 1505) ? I just don't get it , in the past I uploaded tests where in total I gained quite less hardware points than this time , but in my profile I got around 50 points ... I'm confused really , what's the criteria here ? Thank you in advance for any explanation that can make me understand the mechanism ...
