Mr.Scott

Eh....I'll live.

Meh......I said the exact same thing the other day and had my post removed.

This is a very good bench Havli. Thank you for all the work you put in on this. It would have been a shame to just throw it away. :celebration:

Imagine that. lol

FWIW, W9 is not in it for the prizes. We would be doing the same thing we are now if there weren't any.

Exchanging thoughts is as far as the last umpteen discussions on this subject went. I expect the outcome will remain the same.

lol 3 letters X-T-U Think about it

You do realize that Intel is a major sponsor of HWB right? You're smoking crack if you think you have any chance of getting HWB to dump sponsors to "make it fair" for a handful of nobody overclockers to acquire a few worthless boints.

You are not the only one.

I'll laugh right in your face. This is not an "organized sport". It is a semi organized competitive hobby that is totally supported by sponsorship money. As for your amount of time overclocking, I laugh at that too. It means nothing. FWIW, I've been into this hobby for 2 decades. I'll still deal with it. I'll be around well after you throw in the towel. What YOU have to deal with is........it's not your site or your rules. You comply and have fun with what you're doing, or GTFO. It's that simple.

Deal with it. Sponsored guys that work in the industry will ALWAYS get new hardware to test before the public. That's their job. Don't like it?.......quit the hobby or strive to get a job in the industry. B1tching about it won't get you anywhere, and will change nothing.

You'll be fine. No possible way to prove/disprove temps.

I'm actually trying NOT to get involved, as this subject has been beaten to death here already. The misinformation: Very, very, few Elites, or anybody else for that matter, get anything for free. Most of the people that do, actually work in the industry for manufacturers. Testing/benching is part of their job. Hardware samples is one of their perks. Don't tell me that you get no perks at your job, because everybody does one way or another. Not necessarily true. You have ice at home right? What if my home was in Siberia? I'd have access to -50 degree air, and sub zero water.

Message me. Thanks Al.

I'll take the zero. Their site has been nothing but problems since it's inception. Got no patience for that.

Same issue for me.

I think you're a little misinformed, and I think you're about to be flamed by a few hundred people at least.

*sigh* I know. Ram is giving me fits. I'm an OS reload king now.

That is not necessarily true.

Just trying to figure out the bench. I've run it a total of twice. I R Intel noob.

lol This has been discussed before. I proposed Journeyman over apprentice a long time ago.

Just a quick note: Sad to see this happening. You are an old school bencher icon. I still chase many of your scores. You will be missed. GL with your health and welfare and GL with the sale. ~Scotty

4562 MHz would be spectacular wouldn't it?

Do you suck at anything?
