  1. I miss the days of original OCZ freeze and eVGA frostbite
  2. I dont care haha I will go by score maybe reviewers should be sure to use hwinfo
  3. Frequency doesnt drop in cpuz or in xtu monitoring here
  4. no way to tell unless you try. I know strix and matrix bios' both used to work on eVGA KPE cards on 980 Just bought 2 of these bad boys and cant wait to take them cold. Stock cooler is fantastic about 15c better than the zotac amp.
  5. if you see a review use over 1.3v for full threading benching and stress testing on an AIO without delidding then the cpu is throttling for sure. delidded conductonaut on both die and on top of ihs with 360x360mm rad 9 fans will hit mid to high 80s with the same voltage. Stress testing is tricky on x299 since there is clipping and throttling. You can easily see it by running XTU or R15. You can get 3600 Points at 4.9 and then 5ghz will pass with a score of 1800 without showing any cpu freq drop. Same with R15 4.9 2800ish then 5ghz 1300.
  6. If you find any needing a US address lmk I can forward to you
  7. Username checks out lol! Laptops are a pain, which one do you have?
  8. Board is LET'd socket and mem slots are flawless. Goodluck finding another one of these for sale $225 shipped USA (split shipping worldwide)
  9. IMO helium is not a problem. It will just push me to work harder without it and innovate such as direct die etc challenge accepted.
  10. say you are 13th and your friend is 14th and a new elite guy beats your score. you are 14th and your friend is 15th effectively not changing your rank within your league.
  11. while I understand the sentiment of how do you compete with an unreleased processor and ES army....the answer is dont be in elite league if you feel bad about this. also companies bin hundreds on hundreds of cpus every generation this is not something new maybe people are just more open about it now. Computex is a trade show, marketing is the reason it exists. We are lucky to even be deemed relevant to them at all, someday I figure we will no longer be invited. LN2 smoke and the term world record is something anyone is excited by and understands. They might not know what a 4200 point XTU score is but they understand what and XTU world record is.
