Since I've managed to avoid every other event I'd definitely have to make this one.

One of my housemates is definitely on the hype train and I'm not far behind. Got a couple of APU setups either at home/my previous PCs, and so I'd be more than happy to go back to AMD when I fancy an upgrade/just a change with my daily setup.

You have PM

Looks like a fun event

Your rousing speech has persuaded me.

You have PM

Yeah says you've chosen not to allow PMs or something. Price/is it any good etc?

How good is it? Can't reply, but I'm guessing shipping from Australia to the UK may be an issue.

Hi, As above, looking to buy a s775 board as I think my biostar i45 is no longer working Got some DDR2 that I assume works, otherwise if it's a DDR3 board then I'll also be looking to buy some RAM. I'm based in the UK. Thanks

If anyone in the UK fancies one of them I might be interested in the other

Are you using a riser card/cable? If so did you notice any performance loss?

A big issue I see with a seasonal ranking is I think it'll make it even more of a money game, as you won't be able to sell on stuff you've already benched?

I look forward to the PM

Thanks, I'll wait and see if he responds confirming he does as that could be a deal clincher for me! In theory have a ln2 supply but thanks for the heads up, options are always good!

Very tempted, just looking into dewars as it won't be much good without one!

So what's your opinion of splitting CPUs by cores for globals? Cant help but think that's a similar situation?

We only have to run 1B for this

I think I had one of these at one point as well actually haha. Any armaflex/whatever it's called included?

Oops Thanks! From a quick manual check it's currently running at 1.28v so clearly the mod is working! Edit: Anyone have any luck with the stock cooler on the gigabyte board, swiftly realising it's fairly terrible Going to try and bodge my phase onto it next week since temperatures are definitely holding it back at the moment (only at 1.2v!)

So a friend and I just tried the vcore mod on our first Giga card, and it looked like it was all good, however when we plugged the card in and tried changing the voltage nothing seemed to happen. We were using GPU-Z for the voltage measurement for ease as it was 0.01 out compared to the multimeter. Eventually whilst turning the pot the screen went crazy pink for a second then black, a PC restart and everything seemed fine again. Any ideas?

24 now, joined hwbot when I was 17 it looks like, then stopped when I was at uni basically, just trying to get back into it.

Great thanks Thanks for the info, should be a problem though as I only intend on having a 2-3 on a drive I think.

Even if you'd had a corrupted/slightly dodgy OS from lots of crashes etc?

Hi, As above, I'm wondering what the potential downsides of multiple OS installs on different partitions on a single drive are in comparison to having multiple drives? Since you don't need that much space for each OS when benching (as far as I'm aware) Splitting a 120gb SSD into a couple of partitions with different OS installs seems like a sensible idea? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, George

Planning on picking up a card this week maybe, haven't done any proper benching for quite a while and haven't touched a soldering iron to a gpu for even longer, looking forward to getting back into it all with this Was probably going to get a Gigabyte and EVGA card for me and a friend, anyone had any issues with either?
