A score for "I am a retard" category. CPU is also on stock cooler. sorry no AIDA, but I'm not going for 1st place anyway.

I had a go with this board during Campus Party. Promised not to say that it has issues running PSC and BBSE at frequencies above 1200MHz, so you'll have wait until 28th to hear it

If the screenshot above is PSC, then you'd need LN2 for such clocks which makes the result not impressive. Gigabyte has a lot of problems running PSC and BBSE, but on ASUS it's not a breeze either. The same kit/settings that boots up 1400 8-12-8 will frequently crash in 32M at 1300 8-12-8 for no apparent reason. If we're talking about the same kit, the "2800C8" stuff is a 2400 9-11-9 rated G.Skill PIS set produced on week 1127. On air, that does 32M at 1200 7-10-7 at 1.59V (auto subs), 1200 6-11-6 at 1.82V (auto subs) and 1300 7-12-7 at 1.71V (auto subs), roughly 40-50MHz or 0.05-0.06V better than any retail PSC I have ever tested or seen.

I have some LN2 burns in my nose (LN2 overflow) and inside my chest, but it's not too bad. Hardest/most painful part about swallowing LN2 is that it expands very rapidly creating huge pressure inside your chest (making you want to vommit).

second folder - Geil or RipjawsZ ?

does the "new and improved" CPUz still occasionally produce red validations at 100% stable clocks?

We all know that CPUz can occasionally produce "red" validations even at stock clocks, so I don't mind having a bunch of those in the hwbot DB as long as they are legit.

big wow

I don't think you're going to like C4F, I'd rather go with 790FX stuff like M4A79T or C3F for Phenom II. (lower clocks but better efficiency)

if thie badge on this said 'ASUS', fanboys would buy these in thousands

Don't tell me you're going after Andre in the overall ranking?

Why does the score tab show that benchmark was not ran using default settings?

I heard they exist as 'sticks for internal use'

FoX fell asleep while testing a Bloomfield alone. When I came to check him, CPU was already at positive temps.

Very impressive frequency given the board maker and chipset

why is this thread named after loadline calibration and not lowclock challenge?

looks decent, but I'd like the heatsinks to be actually heatsinks

You can find gems with black PCB too, only a matter of binning. I saw more gems with green PCB, though. After all, 2133C8 RipjawsX clock better than any other BBSE model out there, and they're so rare that you don't usually have choice.

may be he was talking about s754 or s939 chips

never thought that a solid guy like Perica will ever fall in love with a custom CPU-Z version

you must fail too much if you have worn the CLR_CMOS button to a point of its failure

Round 2: Christian Ney vs DHL

I think Massman once said something like "it's overclocking => more cpu speed = higher rank"
