Where I got mine and yes I paid way to much. Don't know if they actually still have some. https://www.memory4less.com/intel-2-40ghz-xeon-processor-l3014

I'm with Bones. Its only fun if your goals fit your approach. I've been playing in AM3 (cold friendly) posted more than a few 0.2 pointers just because I felt good about them and that is all that matters.

Impressive time for clock, nice playing!

Thanks, Lucky chip.

Nice!!!

CPU sucked, used it to see if I could get DDR3 2000 C7 benchable close but no cigar.

Interesting!

More so based on my time doing this the advent of the K series was a big determent to the hobby but recently started playing with locked Xeons as will as Bclk limited which makes it more about efficiency and in reality to me has kind of started me to rethink things. As an example a i5 4670 has a total of 4215 subs most of the first places are cold that I looked at except CB15, two AIO scores over cold but only 21 subs. As XTU is/was popular and has a total of 522 subs would say it was worth some pretty good points when they were still available. The 21 subs was the most for any other bench I looked at, WHY. If half those testing their skill with XTU would of ran the other benches just think of the points that would be available. With the added bonus that cold can't score so high that anyone below their scores has 0.2 pts. Given a good draw from the hardware deck there is a good chance the existing cold scores can be beaten with ambient cooling. In reality this is about as close as it gets to an even playing field. If you look at the popularity of XTU is benching dying I'd say no there is still a desire to test abilities against others, if the whole picture is taken into account it becomes a mixed bag.

I'll disagree a little, WP I generally run in XP & W7 when grinding, about the only bench I do this with, Sometimes general assumptions for a particular set of hardware don't hold true.

Thought about putting a few of the bigger achievements in the list but ended up combining them all into one. Saw where a few noted that the achievement button didn't work, I've never had a problem on my personal page but the team achievement page wouldn't work, did today when I checked.

I do this to play with hardware so Hardware Masters & Achievement

For MetalRacer, love the blues.

Splave, Careful might have political correct police taking interest! I'm interested about the points about the only comp I play in.

Then make a proper SS and sub it!

Pulled the sub to busy watching the first place left of the decimal to see the second on cpu freq. Actually was hoping for a little more out of the card.

Great score!

I don't prep the MBs so generally only run a little above dew point big air helps keep the condensation down a wee bit once the hot air from the chiller over takes the room. Primarily done for air movement for the MB & RAM also run a Silverstone 120 under the socket. Does it help, don't know never really tested it but good air movement can't be bad.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear that!

Cheapest that I found that ships to Europe https://www.ebay.com/itm/Asus-A8N32-SLI-Deluxe-AMD-Motherboard-socket-939/153641122216?hash=item23c5b979a8:g:nu4AAOSwGQRdetJt

I have no idea. Do know once the cooling pulled not a lot of differences so you would have to see how close it is to the reference design. Might have an Ultra but the Quadros are long gone.

Not much help, about the only thing I've ran in SLI on the the Asus board was a couple Quadro FX 4600 (8800 Ultra +/-) without problem.
