HD5450 is Definitely cheap on EBay. Quick search for 1GB models is around $16-18 buy it now shipped. That's cheap.

Thanks for the Trade. Nice Dewar.

Smoking fast

I'm in San Antonio. I have a 2 CPU pots I can part with. A BartX pot and Venom Pot. Any pics of the Dewars?

Yeah. It's been very weird. No Gene and no APEX.

PM'ing ya.

Yeah...shipping and VAT sucks to deal with. But 27%.....extortion levels there.

I have one on hand I bought right as it was launched. I can also buy them from EVGA Direct at $500 with free shipping/no tax to my door. If you wanted one, I can always help out. I'd have to check and see what shipping would be cost effective to the EU/UK from the USA. USPS would be the cheapest. But the box doesn't fit into any of the Priority International boxes.

I guess you wanted POST #5000 to be special.

Open to all. The more the merrier.

Insane! And Impressive.

If they match the Screenshot, then you have CUDA P2 states enabled. You want them disabled. P2 ON drops the clocks for better stability for critical calculations. For max Clocks, P2 should be OFF.

Caseking shows an availability date of Feb 5th, 2019. Maybe something will pop up stateside around that time.

Wow! How did you get x2 TV working! Impressive!

I'm down. This should be fun.

SS being lumped with Chillers: I don't agree with. I can agree with lumping chillers into Enthusiast as cold ambient temps can equal or slightly exceed chillers. Also takes away ambiguity of if a sub was run on an ice bucket or not as Ice Bucket is slightly better than a non-modified chiller. By 3C. So essentially equal. SS systems on lower power CPUs, GPU's can reach DICE temps so it does not equal a chiller except for an extreme example. Chiller use you have to pay attention to condensation, but you don't really need to deal with the same level of insulation and waterproofing an XOC setups needs. Moving CC to a different time of year I'd appreciate. The holiday season in the US is nutty during the normal timeframe and there was burn out from TC being just before it.

Looks sensible to me.

Same here. Im going to guess this is to deter scammers and flyby seller. Needing a forum standard 50 posts and x-amount of time on the forum?

I do wonder if Blender could be implemented as a Benchmark. It's agnostic to Intel/AMD. Would need a smaller test than Gooseberry. Do a HWBot logo or something along those lines. I think there's GPU acceleration available. Might be a multifaceted Benchmark if it's secure from tampering.

Since it's an AVX2 test where memory BW increases-increase current consumption: could be an IO/SA/IMC thing? Im not experienced enough to make any educated guess.

Most likely current (which is work) is creating more heat than voltage. Causing the negative scaling past 1.68v.

Awesome results! Was this the Mythical 5.5GHz AIO cpu?

3 leagues seems the best way. You need a method of bringing in fresh, new blood or this e-peen sport will grow stale. So the Novice league is a good way to start out. It's unlimited and whatever you can use goes. Time limit works. Maybe arrange for 2 Rookie-Rumbles each year to entice newcomers. Work with Youtubers to promote this idea as it seems to be the fastest growing marketing Avenue. Those marketeers (really most are advertising venues) can possibly assist in sponsoring those rookie comps thru Hardware vendors. The cooling aspect: not everyone can afford to invest for SS, DICE, LN2. So a line should be drawn there. If your investing in a SS and up, your preparing to ultimately make the jump to the highest level which is LN2. So elite at SS and above. Chillers on down to Air in another League. The difference from an Ice chest to a Chiller is not much at all. If you luck out and get a golden ambient chip that's cool. Those that don't can try to catch up with chilled waters and higher voltages. Free hardware vs none: I don't have experience here so IDK how much of a difference it makes overall. But there should be a mechanism to to show Sponsored vs Non-Sponsored. So 3 tiers: Rookie/Novice, Enthusiest, Elite.

That's a cool looking card!
