El Gappo

Someone bought one?

Come on massman keep up

Nicely done dude

Why's everything always gold? They aren't "MY CUPS" either, they are "MY TEAMS" and some of them aren't medals never mind cups

Where can you view all of your teams submissions from today? Can only see the top 10 on the team page.

Completely agree, I just figure that's the reasoning for it, still stinks. Comes down to a matter of balls vs lipstick+kneepads in the end. Becoming hard to find a review that doesn't have ZOMG L337 Award at the bottom recently.

So true. Concerning for non K users. I guess they won't be reaching full speed any time soon.

Are you smoking crack? If you seriously think you can get 3rd single card on 03 with a card that can barely play css, on the stock cooler! Then you need to be certified.

If you're writing independent reviews not affiliated to any site you hold no weight whatsoever. Say something the pr guys don't like, you could be dropped in a second. Wanna keep getting gear? Say nice things. At least he lays every morsel of info out there on a silver platter with extensive testing to boot. Even if it does have a "I LOVE GIGABUT" tint to it.

Mark you so silly Sin isn't Gigabyte staff either. He just loves Gigabyte lots and lots! I highly doubt there is anything wrong with the board other than the way its been advertised. There is still honor in the game, you just wont find it advertised on the front page of XS and hwbot too often. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=264837 http://www.overclock.net/overclock-net-hwbot-team/997559-memory-madness-mkii-competition-now-open.html Threads like that are great examples of that. People overclocking for fun without MFRs sticking their nose in, all prizes bought and paid for, no MFR imposed limits, no sandbagging ( fingers crossed ), just people pushing as hard as they can and helping others. I find the 32m results we see in those threads 10 times more impressive than some es990x you would never get your mits on.

So in gigaland, 2nd 3rd and 4th = Top 5?

Ohhhh snap!

Crazy stuff The pot reminds me of something, think it's the box from hellraiser. Here's to hoping!

Like dis? Took me all of 5 mins to see what review it came from, looks like a nice chip

Yeah, but I bet it would look a lot different if you had unlimited access to "A" chips. Time will play a factor too, I bet the es chips you've got were made before the chip went retail. Revised retail steppings following later on. At least they mark them. Someone should write an editorial and oust the buggers

You tell me lol, hard to see from the data base as you can't see. 740's clearly outpace 720's by a long way. "Media sample" 975's all hit 7gig which was pretty impressive. Not worth thinking about as you cant tell anyways. Maybe BD will be different.

Had a few non retail chips, either before they went retail or chips that never went retail and none have been listed as es in cpu-z. 740 would be a good example, or some of the earlier ( and higher )975 results. They always have a different stepping to retail chips i.e CACDC vs AACDC or are they just for reviews and oem, I dunno.

Completely abolishing es's would put a big ass dent in hardware sharing too. What's going to happen with the FX es's? Can't usually tell none retail amd chips from cpu-z.

Why not have globals for different architectures or platforms then? Even do what you've done with 3d and have WR points for highest overall.

It doesn't work....

I am almost positive that massmans beer cooling is more effective than your custom loop

If it weren't for you cheating he would be in first place This is all just a little bit silly.

hwbot cater to hardware sharers and cheaters, they've even developed a new revision just for them. How have you not noticed this with your background in pcmark05 cheating?

NICE CHEATS BRO!
