    The Fail

    I don't know which is a bigger fail - that ranking or Kenny being in the Pro league
  3. I had some E8400s and an E8600 made in 2010, were not good.
  4. would that plastic mount prevent cold from spreading all around the socket area?
  5. Plan for tonight - hit F5 until it wears out, quickly move to Pro, upload lots of old scores, get to #1 of Pro OC for one minute, make a screenshot and use it for self-promotion for rest of life.
  6. Nick Shih listed as #2 in Pro OC, lolwut?
  7. wouldn't tighter memory help you get closer to Andre?
  8. The thing about overclocking tablets and phones is that it has very little reason to pick up on rational grounds as these devices do not run on continuous power and potential overclockers would have to trade performance (which in most people's opinion is good enough at stock anyway) for a lot more significant battery lifespan. Besides, there is very little you can possibly change about cooling so there is a lot less manouver space for real enthusiasts, when you compare the playground to desktops. did my first overclock in 1999, so I guess it counts
  9. Back in the day when I started doing this (late 90s - early 00s), stationaty PCs were pretty much the centre of home entertainment so IT-oriented people faced the choice to either let things stay the laggy way they were or to start doing something about it. As overclocking used to be less mainstream than it is now, it gave significant bragging rights raising overclockers' self-esteem and propelling them to push it to the extreme. I feel that these days people are less forced to make such choices due to variety of electronic devices they have access to. Even though sales of PCs might have increased over the last decade, these days almost everyone has a laptop and a smartphone to distract their attention, hence a lot less damn about PCs and overclocking is given. As for the old crowd that is floating around - you can't expect people to do the same thing forever. At some point in time everyone will eventually realise that there are more interesting things to do in life than sitting in front of your computer.
  10. get some better mems and OS, you're losing 7-8 seconds on this run.
  11. 512K of L2 cache is less than 1M of SuperPi, you need to do CW.
  12. this score would have been funny if you had a "I won't end this session until I hit 200K 03"-sort of goal
  13. what's the fastest connection from any sort of any major nearby airport?
  14. You could just buy Ryanair tickets and bench elsewhere
  15. Just got a complaint from a friend (who doesn't speak English) that you can't submit P4-505 into '2004 stage even though wiki says that it was released in December that year.
  16. CN must have had a short heart attack
  17. B2 were actually better on FSB than L2. L2 at 640 is very lucky
  18. I can afford it, but at $1500-2000 I would rather keep the money and remain:
  19. how high can you run 32M with this IMC?
