  1. I won't go into details but to remove two letters is not enough to make it look like a retail. I also think the guys participating in the MOA should be professional enough to follow the rules and not to cheat.

     

    "Should"? certainly. "Are"? Questionable.

  2. Rb, you have a hard time getting obscure HW, don't you?

     

    Somebody has to bench it first.

    Currently there isn't much value in being the second or third or fourth person person to bench HW, categories tend to stay empty.

    With points ramping up quickly that may change, suddenly it's actually worth fighting for small ranking cups.

    One of the most entertaining OC battles I've had was with TATaR1N in the 6800 256mb class. Not, by any means, a well populated arena. But it was lots of fun, with rebenching going back and forth and backups and such. And I could do it, because it didn't require a $1k GPU and a $100 power board and a $50 control box and binning half a million CPUs.

    Anybody feel like going back to R2? I don't.

  3. OCP mods: work better if they're applied to a card and not just examined in pictures on the internet.

     

    Debatable. The first 7970 OCP mods didn't kill GPUs if you just looked at pictures.

  4. That six months was glorious. I enjoyed it.

    Thanks for your dedication! Hope you didn't get a speeding ticket.

    2x legal speed here you're landing in jail for a bit if the cops catch up.

  5. If it makes you feel better the American Edition would have a lurid color scheme, a high price in "four easy payments", and require that you purchase insurance that is labeled as "Motherboard insurance" but actually only covers someone else (not you, mind) cutting themselves on the header pins.

  6. Capacitor capacitance goes down with temperature, it's possible that the little 0.1µF coupling caps drop enough that the signals don't last long enough to transfer.

    If they're on the board for Haswell you could try replacing them and see what happens :D
