I'm looking to update the Realbench benchmark to represent what people really use their PCs for in 2015. Currently it does MPEG2 DVD to h.264, but since no one buys SD media these days I'd like to understand what kind of video encoding people do to design a 'typical test' that's applicable to most users and still fun for OCers.

For those who don't already have it, 3DMark is reduced from £19 to £3.79 in the Steam sale

I'm curious to see what clever minds think about this data ...

I was now arround 3 months not online, because accident and hospital visit Because of Healthy i will quiet benching for Hwbot, had a great time here and meet many people from all the world in live competitions. Its hard decission, but it must be. Will only bench from now on for live competitions, not more Cheers for great time Hwbot :celebration:

Yes, i got it,and im proud of it,they say its a disease,but im happy Sympthoms: When i see a computer or laptop i havent put my hansds on yet,im thinking. "whats the PLL on that baby" its not a matter of can it be overclocked, its just how high can i overclock it. My wifes electrical toothbrush: It sounded too slow, so i opend it up, changed a resistor here,and bypassed a wire there. Wow, now its fast..now it must be like 600rpm faster...for like 2minutes, a small puff of smoke and the familiar scent of burning plastic hit me... Oh,well...wife mad, got herself a new toothbrush...so its cool I had too much hardware, the wife (again) said: "John, whats all…

Yeah ... this is going to be a massive PR problem, I think. Two questions: 1) Will MSI issue a press release to acknowledge the issue and inform the public when it's solved? 2) How did the virus get there? http://blog.dynamoo.com/2013/07/msicom-hacked-with-kristians1net.html

How cannot I not have access to the marketplace section? It says that i do not have the rights to wiew them!

I don't know if anybody else had a similar issues this morning, but I woke up to the sound of my phone going nuts from the forums email system sending me about 40 emails of threads that had been replied too, most of them from really old threads

Hey guys, As I send away the garden table that i use for ages as a secondary desk i was wondering what kind of setup you guys have for benching ? and of course a poll with that ! * Straight on the dinng table ? * straight on the desk and struggling to get enough space * Dedicated Desk (which size ?) * IKEA Desk * No need table... also wonderign what you gys do to keep space to work ont he modding etc on a separate desk or the same. Also for the monitor, to you try to lift them above the desk so the bench setup is not in front ? What do you use to sort your gear ? My actual desk :

Just saw this ads featuring Max an Overclocker with a good voice-over tone voice. eZd90fkrrXA Because question are overated, i created a poll !

Happy Birthday dude, hope you're having a wicked time doing whatever it is you'll be doing today

Best wishes to you, Genie! Nice to have such an active guy in the staff. And your Bench-packs are awesome too. Aquamark is a whole different story and with you proper verification has finally been integrated. Thanks for all of this and have a good one today! :celebration: :banana:

Hello Maybe my brain dont work anymoore, but I recall that it was easy to search any submissions, ex. set cpuz then youre selected cpu you wanna browse.

Do I need put in moore than two search options? ...im clueless Somebody enlighten me..thanks Cheers John

Hi everybody, Im from Chile, some months ago I requested some pots from Ryba AI Cooling. Long story short: I have been waiting over 5 months for my order. I think thats too much. Last Payment I forwarded to him was on February 24th. Then Ryba had some issues at IEM and then with his own company, etc, etc Order is composed of: - 1x Suction Line for SS - Ryba CPU Pot - Ryba Memory pot Last contact from him was on May 11th from Facebook. Since then I had no response from both of his mails, Facebook account and HW account. At that moment he promised to send some photos, explain whole process and send the tracking number 1st shipping (CPU and Mamory p…

Using Bitcoin will end all wars ...and also it will end up the thievery called taxes and with it all the unjustices and cheats of current states. This is a noble cause, like ending the slavery, just much more important to whole humanity and of far higher more reaching. (before the USA civil war, only 2% of people was for ending of the slavery) Let's imagine a word, where all war mongers must pay for each of their wars to the last fraction of Bitcoin. Because when you take the power to print money out of thin air for their wars, then they must reach deep into their pockets to pay for wars they want. Surely that will pressure them soon to become quite tolera…
