  1. Hard to look around with the server overloaded, but looks like it will be fun. Bring CPUZ back, though. Raw speed gives a visceral reaction that matters. The argument for removing it is just plain weak. Might as well ditch 3D01 too because it's really a test that merely measures the performance of a few old-generation green cards.
  2. Having been there, I know that those at University are short on time to bench and funds to donate. To make sure your basic needs are met while you bench, I'm putting up a case of Red Bull and a case of Top Ramen as a random drawing prize.
  3. I like the R3E. I wanted an Xpander. I spent months trying to buy one retail or borrow one from ASUS. I couldn't. Maybe I still could by begging the right people, but I'm weary of the task. But if a manufacturer says something IS available retail I don't think it's Pieter's or the bot's responsibility to go verify that it's readily available to everyone. Think of some of our brothers in various countries around the world who don't have access to 1/10 the hardware I do here in the USA. Even if a few lucky folks can "game the system", I don't think it's worth making hwbot policy changes. There would be endless arguments over where to draw the line. I reluctantly just vote to leave the line at the "NDA". ...............................................................................................................if anyone ever sees an Xpander for sale, lemme know. I'd still buy one.
  4. That is freaking amazing on a non-lightning 275. They usually die if they even hear a rumor that you might overvolt em.
  5. Thanks bros. CPU and GPUs have more in them, but price to play (in LN2) is getting pretty high with 4 cards and I had to get a score up.
  6. Thanks Dukey, Kal, Pizza and miahallen. Voting for lane config or somesuch. Tried many BIOS on this UD9 and never get very efficient scores. But I am too low on the ASUS totem pole to get an R3E expander (have tried), so have to set World Records with other boards until they decide to sell them retail.
  7. Thanks guys. You make me feel better Smoke I thought it was just me fighting this board for scores. Also got diminishing returns with higher clocks - a run at 1200/1175 gave me worse score...
