Very informative and Professional write-up Daniel. Thank you. Folks, it seems I am one of the lucky ones - both my I9-9900K and my I7-8700K boot right up 4800 / 14-13-13-28-2T very tight. 1.375VccIO and 1.425VccSA. Mems on air. Anyway, thanks again Daniel

Indeed 89$ + shipping. You should try it my friend. Board stays dead dry after 4 hours on LN2. I saw it happening. Not by me, since I am on DICE ( yet ), but on an Apex XI of a very good friend, running an I9-9900K at over 6.8ghz with a T-Rex full pot. Nice run though for 5.9ghz

I can very clearly understand what moderating means. And what real nightmare it is. We hope for the best. I guess nothing is perfect, moreover when remote moderation on NON bulletproof benchmarks is close to impossible. A bit off topic though. Since HWBOT moves ahead, and leagues have remained more or less the same, how about some very easy moderation on submissions made by "enthusiasts" with 5.7ghz CBR15 I7-7700K and 1.65V on "water". Ha I personally do not dare to apply 1.65V on Dice, lol.

Not that I have any illusions that decisions can be reversed, but Alby, if we talk bugs, then almost 90% of all benchmarks have a way or other to be manipulated. Even @rbuass proved in the past that Futuremark's latest benchmarks are cheatable. Did anyone observe any change in that ? Nope. I can see both sides and understand, but it is very disheartening indeed.

A year ago all the above mem sets would have been sold in 48 hours max. Having purchased from the seller multiple top binned sets, I can only say that every single set exceeded my expectations. Bump for a friend and a trusted seller.

GLWS brother A true gentleman folks.

Very nice mate :)

Nice Now, disable HT and re-run. 8 cores - 8 threads

Close please.

Ahahaha Cool - love the accuracy - BTW, still waiting a reply for the motherboard I asked for. Will rebench with 4450, for the hell of it mate

Thank you bro Appreciate the kind words

Thank you brother Theodor :))

Thanks man

Thank you brother Appreciate the kind words.

^^^^^^^^ 110% agree. More cases surface frequently, and I am starting to get the feeling that we are facing a rapid degradation of members ethics and honesty. I have personally suffered losses of almost 3000 Euros, but ( maybe mistakenly ), did not make them public in the forums. Some were fixed thru PayPal, but the vast majority was written off. I will take the liberty here to tell to all the scammers ( cheaters, thieves ), that if their value in life is measured with a few hundred bucks, then so be it.

Thanks to my brother @Achill3uS , a pristine ( full bundle ) Kingpin F1 pot with extension has been purchased. Thanks Bala Thread may be closed. Thank you for the space HWBOT.

^^^^^^^^^ To the OP. @Noxinite , what Alex says so straight forward is the absolute truth. Either we all like it or not. Dimastech scam was one of the most severe cases, that affected quite a few members here and people lost thousands and thousands of Euros from a supposed " reputable company " Mate, you have to move on. This is not eBay and definitely, since the last resort of protection ( PayPal ) was mistakenly not used from your side, you have two options - 1) Give it a shot with Intel and see if you can pass an RMA request. 2) If it fails, consider the whole case a lesson that cost you 500 Euros. And take appropriate precaution if and when you buy something else here. The HWBOT market place has some basic rules, but no power to intervene when a transaction goes south. Basically, till a few years back, members ethics were at a lot higher level. Good luck to whatever you decide to do. I am sorry for your mishap mate

As usual, @websmile ( Michael ), put things in their right perspective. Need to update my bios versions Michael. Still at 0903. Still nothing can beat though the Galax set doing 4200++ ultra tight ( where tight timings are a must ). And it is A1 layout

On Asrock Mocf. Not Apex

A2 pcb layout kits and Apex Motherboards are a no-no combination even for 4133 /12-11. All apex boards ( IX, X, XI ) do not cooperate well with A2 memory. On the contrary A2 kits ( if good ) can do 4700 up to 4800 on air, 14-13-13-28-2T, at least on Apex XI. You have to search for very high binned A1 kit that can go to 4266 / 12-11 / 1T, provided you have the IMC to support it.

Thanks man I will wait a few days and if nothing else ( extension ) comes up, I will contact you with pm.

Full bundle please. All accessories to be included.

Maybe, if mutually agreed, seller and buyer split the damage ( 250 each ) and move on ? Too many grey areas to be able to prove at which point the damage occurred. @Ziken, show that you are a legit seller and accept half reimbursement - this will ( possibly ) allow the administration here to let you sell more things. @Noxinite, mate, to be totally honest, despite the fact that I respect you all the way thru as a member of HWBOT, maybe reach an arrangement with Ziken, as proposed. 2 meters high fence man ? And the delivery man signed instead of you ? Well... I would find that delivery man ( company ) and have a strong word - at least.

You are asking the wrong person mate I am not the one with the "problematic" cpu. Ask @Noxinite

I will second that, unfortunately
