nah it's something else to bud, like 64 bit OS or the nv platform on ddr II.

Yah i did, skeptical about the l3 less chip being the "total" equasion

Some food for thought. I have a 860 Es and a 980x ES. CBB -50 -90CB 860 ES. CBB -60 -100CB 980X. Both suck. I have a 920 retail. 4900 uncore through 32m CB -135 Now I have a retail 5870SOC, came in a retail box, is a retail revision and does 1500 ram through vantage......and don't give me the BS it needs to be binned on ln2. Ram doesn't need ln2 binning. VDDR Ram can be binned just by looking at batch. Point is there is no real solution and it can go either way. How hard is it to rebrand ES with retail batch info.......Lets look back at retail "recognized by cpu-z" AMD 955 BE HL ES chips..... For the record the chip makers know where the best silicon is on a wafer.....they don't need to really get scientific about it once original testing is done. Anyway my 2c i agree with gatman.

Its a 10/100 ratio that it happens. I have seen it but not as common as it used to be.

depends on how you look at it. rich and dumb enough to buy them. For some the cup is half empty and for some it's half full. Perpectives are funny like that.

yep absolutely for fun. It was a good learning experience as i desperately needed to learn 01 tuning

Nice run congrats. Won't hear negative comments from me when people post results and don't try to act all bad becasue they beat air with ln2. Looking forward to your backups. Effeciency says you got quite a bit left there

Surround NB heatsink with eraser, make a cup around Nb sink with eraser and pour right on NB sink

Depends, think I got robbed on makover. I looked better with hair.

Looking good bob, knocking on 32k's door and IGP only on air

Care to elaborate? If busting my ass to get a effecient result makes me a jerk......guess everyone that is competitive on bot is a jerk then. If not sharing my settings makes me a jerk.....well that makes 75% of people on bot a jerk then. If stating the obvious and facts makes me a jerk well your not ready for the real world. Now if I took a pop shot via a comment at the guys on air when I benched on ln2 and you called me a jerk I would say it is a warranted comment, but i'm not the one that did that here. If showing some of the AIR guys that they to can be competitive against ln2 guys makes me a jerk well to bad.

Cpu power has nothing to do with this contest. To win this contest you must treat it like a low clock challenge...... Nick if you knew all the settings before contest started.....no offense but your score would be far more effecient per clock. A competition is what it is regardless if there is a prize to be had. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition Competition is a contest between individuals, groups, nations, animals, etc. for territory, a niche, or a location of resources... It arises whenever two or more parties strive for a goal which cannot be shared

No offense but a competition is a competition, have no problem sharing all details after comp is over

Think I already offered more than enough info by my current screens for others to copy. Other than that I might as well come over and just OC some ones system for them. You will just have to actually tune your system to find any more gains like I have been doing all along Final score will have all details if I have time to bench on ln2. I have reviews and other more important things to tend to currently.

Beating air with ln2 is an expected outcome, not a trick.

Not bad, beat my air IGP by 200 points I would hardly call it ln2 tricks though, best to be humble

Just a port 80 card......dip switches just change port 80 definitions....other than that it's actually more of a nuisance due to it's size but my other 2 port 80's are in other systems currently. So preety much it's got a lot of bling and cost more to do the same or less than a $7 port 80 in taiwan.

35K is a pipe dream...........

No need to pour ln2 yet, phase has cpu covered for now air still on IGP........Keep pushing it guys!

Lets see that 35K score leeghoofd, not to sure 35k is possible now.

2000 mhz ram fails to impress me at 9-9-9........seeing as 6-7-6 was doable at 970.... I doubt there will be a benefit to running 9-9-9.

you mean me and msimax I've already had practice......that score is our score but his board/his submission. He used non usb3. I'm using usb3. I think his IGP is stronger though. Ln2 will tell all. *Edit* Msimax went down on cool air already btw I'm ready to pour, effeciency is maxxed out.

Seriously I'm going to stop this right here and now before any further discussion is had........ I am also going to say after posting this screenshot IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY SOMETIMES IT'S BEST NOT TO SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

You would be wrong........
