  1. Thanks to Leeg for all the effort of being a 1 man army organizing and moderating this huge comp!

    Not sure what the fuss is about people switching teams. I would rather see people switch teams and bench and have fun, instead of not participating because they are on a small and/or inactive team.

    Can't speak of other teams but the only person I know of who joined OCN specifically for team cup was @Splave and he already stated his reasons why. Now I'm hoping he had enough fun participating in Team Cup that he decides to stay :)

    Damn. Secure Erase is used to erase SSD before formatting. Do you know how to copy a feature from one BIOS to another?

    Just make yourself usb flash drive with HirensBootCD on it, boot into the linux rescue enviroment, and use Disk Eraser.

    It accomplishes the same thing, is very easy to do, and you can use it on any pc. No special bios required.

  3. MOCF vrm can handle 9900k no problems. On ln2 no heatsink required, the cold from full pot is enough. However if you are pushing hard on ambient, or even SS then you should use heatsink. Can run without heatsink on air for quick tests fine, but if you benching hard then use heatsink.

    EDIT:

    Upon further testing from @Splave, its best to use heatsink on vrm at all times, even under full pot ln2

    More about this question, than direct response

    My objection has always been the ES processors ... most cases better. But a better board ... meh negligible.

    Leeghoofd is it open the floodgate for x1 exception this time?

    I can see the z370 LN2 Gigabyte ... just did not make it to retail channels. Perhaps production was more $ then figured return.

    Vote 1. :) I'd like to see what he can do with it.

    The popular one for overclockers is the Apex anyway. It has the proven performance crown.

     

    For recent gens actually retail cpu's have been best. 7740x was only exception where ES was better than retail. 7700k, 8700k, 8086k, 7980xe top chips all retail.

    I agree with Leeg, no ES in comps. 

  6. Vince has mentioned on facebook that he has a new gpu pot in the works tek icon. Supposed to be launching at same time as KPE 2080ti. He also said that tek9 fat will be compatible, and he is making an updated bracket for it. Read the facebook comments when he posted the initial 2080ti scores, if you want to see for yourself :)

    While we're asking for stages with stuff we have good hardware for, can I have an Atom 330 stage?  Maybe DDR4 limited to Micron ICs?

    X99 is/was a popular platform. Tons of people have hardware for it. Unlike the obscure junk in your snarky post.
