  1. LOL, Vince will go nuts ( stay out of his way lol, you all saw what he did to that poor Rampage Extreme a year or so ago ) Congrats on a well done run SuicidePhoenix. If you ever decide to get "rid" of that CPU just PM me the price
  2. I guess my "overclocking blood cells" found their way to my brain again :P

    We all need to get a break from things we love and do quite a lot sometimes, but unlike other things, you can't quit overclocking :D

    I keep hearing people say "I'm quitting extreme overclocking" multiple times, yet they're still here :D ( which is a good thing of course, unless this hobby starts wrecking other important daily things )

     

    I originally planned to skip Sandy Bridge ( LGA1155 platform ) and the GTX580, but temptation's taking over control and now it's almost certain that I'll be grabbing new 1155 hardware & VGAs to start benching again.

     

    It's always nice to bench, and with honest, good people & great OCers/tweakers around it only gets better.

     

    Keep on rocking 2001SE man :)

    I bet you already have 136k and you're working on something even higher, the competition is rising again in 3d2k1 and this makes me very very happy and excited, 3D Mark2001SE is SIMPLY THE BEST BENCH.

     

    See ya soon man, take care & have fun :)

  3. Intel's not sending ES to all media. And it also depends on the timeline.
  4. But are they distinguishable clocking-wise ? If they clock really similarly to the retails ( as in same clocks, not a single advantage over retail ) it shouldn't be a problem at all.
  5. Yes it was ( that classified is dead, and that 950 ( hopefully ) is still somewhere in Greece, don't remember who I sold it to )
  6. I think it's more than safe to say that: In this ~2 year period, people have tested MUCH MORE 980X Retails than A0 ES. Do we really need to see it in numbers like... retails tested ( count the hundreds of RMAs... ? ) 10.000 pieces... ES... 1.000 pieces ?
  7. 980X - SuperPi 32M ranking: Places 1 ( 6851MHz ) to 9 = ES Place 10 ( 6480MHz ) = Retail 980X - SuperPi 1M Ranking: Places 1 ( 6930MHz ) to 6 = ES Place 7 ( 6589MHz ) = Retail 990X - CPU-z Ranking: Place 1 ( 7092MHz ) = ES Place 3 ( 6836MHz ) = Retail 990X - PiFast Ranking: Place 1 ( 6946MHz ) = ES Place 5 ( 6707MHz ) = Retail 990X - wPrime 32m Ranking: Place 1 ( 6654MHz ) = ES Place 7 ( 5871MHz ) = Retail 990X - wPrime 1024m Ranking: Place 1 ( 6585MHz ) = ES Place 7 ( 5742MHz ) = Retail Close call ?
  8. Just a flashback. It's May 2011 now, and we have yet to see a retail 980X/990X surpass the E.S. @ SuperPi, 3D Mark03/05/Vantage.
  9. Why, is the R3E Black out ? AFAIK the R3EB will go for 400$ or even more.
  10. Somebody with a SB & a hyper kit should do some "3rd subtimings" SPD edit, that should help if not make the hypers work like a charm on SB
  11. The day the Ferrari FXX was overtaken by a Lada Niva because the ferrari was driverless
  12. PassMark used to be very inconsistent, and I'm willing to gamble on it still being inconsistent
  13. Snap ya fingers Chris. 8-7-7 timings, 88 tRFC ? Lots of room for improvement there
  14. Nasty robot attacked me while I was sleeping.
