  1. I'm sure there are overclockers younger than that. I assume the youngest, legit overclocking should be around 17y old.

    Built first PC myself at age 11 :)

     

    I am 16 now, but I've been around this game on air/water since I was 13.

     

    I bought my only pot when I was 14 (Kingpin Venom Rev 5)...Simon Solotko, Gary Key @ASUS (bingo13) chew*, and Aaron Schradin (LN2cooling.com) really gave me the push in the right direction. Finances are the big issue here of course. Lower middle class family, making ends meet is most important.

     

    If only I still had that 8800 GTS that committed suicide for the April comp.

     

    I'll be 17 on July 3rd. :P

  2. Next time you guys do something like this and claim you are using different GPUs, I'd suggest running a different vendor bios on each card and also clicking the pulldown menu in GPU-Z showing the name of all GPU adapters installed.

     

    Of course, that won't help you any if you are running 4870s only, but in this case you claimed to be using in once scenario a 4870X2 + 2x 4870 vs 4x 4870

  3. So I've got some IGP scores here on HWBOT that were taken down due to insufficient verification for rankings.

     

    It demands GPU-Z in the screenshot, which hangs up my 890GX board if I have more than two CPU-Z windows open.

     

    NOT ONLY this, but at the time (middle of may), GPU-Z didn't even show anything useful, and skewed CPU-Z clocks as well as made the system pretty unresponsive.

    (Vantage):

    In the last one, I CLEARLY have CPU-Z open four times, showing the CPU, motherboard model (and bios), memory clock, as well as IGP name and clock at 1066 Mhz (set at 1060).

     

    GPU-Z was COMPLETELY useless, crashed my PC or made it unstable. It was impossible for me to post accurate screenshots with it open, because my CPU frequency in CPU-Z would skew > 40 Mhz. IMO it's a pretty dumb reason to invalidate my result.

     

    Another thing:

    I do have the ORB link for the 3DMark06 score, that I would love to add, but my result isn't rankeddue to lack of GPU-Z anyway. (I believe I have the vantage file somewhere as well, I didn't submit it to FM...)
