  1. This photo is worth more than 1000 words I guess, but those are not all CPUs tested which I tested ^^ Actual 3x warriors for sale. CPUs come with original BOX (BOXED VERSION): CPUs were binned on Asus Maximus VIII Extreme with 0015 BIOS with LoadLine calibration level 7. I can give advices for Maximus VIII Extreme how to clock cpus, set proper voltages to reach the desired clocks. CPUs will be cleaned before shipping from all the blue marker labels on IHS, just my system of keeping track which CPU clocks how far ^^ All voltages and settings are on the screenshots. LN2 BIN 1. i7 6700K @ 6585 MHz HWBOT PRIME on LN2, also does 6500 MHz cache - SOLD/B] 2. i7 6700K @ 6535 MHz HWBOT PRIME on LN2 - 625 EURO 3. i7 6700K @ 6500 MHz HWBOT PRIME on LN2 -550 EURO Paypal is preferred but buyer covers fees or sends as gift. Buyer is responsible for the shipping cost & customs in his country, in EU it's around 20-30 Euro with insurance by Polish Post including a tracking number (without insurance - cheaper), for other outside EU - please ask for the details. Disclaimer: No returns accepted, I am selling privately and not business related. I also cannot provide warranty for the exact clocks cause XOC overclocking depends from too many different factors, but gladly I will help with settings if someone has some issues in reaching the clocks. If cpu dies during OCing, I can assist in getting brand new (unbinned) RMA replacement, but buyer covers shipping fees in both direction (to Poland and back). Also because CPUs were overclocked on LN2 and delidded I can't 100% guarantee that RMA will be successful.
  2. As far I remember Nick told me similar cost back in days when I asked him, 70k-100k USD so indeed it's not cheap. Regarding the topic -as far as I remember, GB told me they are able to order small quantity of boards (like batch of 10 pieces) so in fact this group order might work out.
  3. I hope soon you will show the full potential of this card with some epower/proper bios or mods Keep pushing
  4. @Massman I am not blaming currently vendors or HWBOT regarding the current situation, even I stated in previous post with GB Skylake contest that I doubt something will be hosted after low amount of participants. Even where competitions had bad rules, I tried (and almost in all) I posted some scores, even just for a lucky draw. I believe that if most ocers did as I was doing, XOC contests participation would be few times bigger ^^ XOC participation is harder than ambient, because it all costs more. For ambient even if you don't have motherboard, you can just buy it online (especially in EU), use it on benchtable without any signs of damage/mounting in the case and return to the shop and get a full refund. When you want to do same for LN2, well isolating motherboard might make it impossible to return to the shop. LN2 is also expensive and you need like a good CPU and so on to make it worth. Though if all the guys who got samples from the vendors just pushed something, as they should, numbers would look like much better. That's why I didn't write we have to fix XOC contests, cause most likely it's a lost cause. I wrote that those few guys who like competitions, like winning hw, some purpose to bench, will have to adapt and we will do it legally (if HWBOT opens it to all) or we will just do it illegally (with some puppets). In this thread I stated pretty much obvious, XOC for private ocers is dead, cause no competitions, samples are more and more limited, but I agree XOC will not die (not now and in few years) in terms of the launch to show potential of new CPUs and so on, but it will be more and more limited to just few chosen/elite guys, or maybe even at some point just for in-house overclockers. With HW more and more expensive I believe we will see lower and lower amount of XOC guys playing in the rankings. But there will be always someone doing something, cause it's a hobby, has $ and nothing better to do
  5. Sure, all is not allowed, hw sharing, score sharing too and we can see it sometimes among many well known users or even mods. The problem is how much you can prove. Using some puppet with new hwbot account or some older retired user from hwbot and so on, what is the problem? you can supply pictures of setup, even with his face on it ^^ his address for shipping prizes. I am just saying - HWBOT will not be able to prove anything. Especially that we are talking about ambient with strict rules like +30*C, so just 300-400 euro EK waterloop will be good enough for that. Everyone can buy it. Of course when someone from nowhere appears in XOC and gets like WR or top 3 score in competition out of nowhere this is a bit suspicious.
  6. Well why shitstorm? I see 2 possible things, a) hwbot opens ambient to all b) some XOC guys who will be bored will just use fake accounts or put friends or other air/wc users from their city/country just to have some fun/try to win some parts
  7. Looks like that. Asus launches @ 2x ambient contests, no extreme version, it's not even in plans afaik. MSI informed it's last XOC contest, if they ever do another contest @ it will be only ambient. GB is for now sleeping but they pushed some competitions in the past with too much LC and not many xoc guys participated, so most likely they will take a long pause if ever decided to push some more online XOC contests. This is regarding online contests from hwbot sponsors. Regarding live contests: HOT most likely won't happen this year, AOOC is stopped since 2014, MOA won't happen ever again cause MSI is going for gaming only, GOOC is cancelled for 6 years now ^^ So basically XOC contests are out for the moment or even forever, so in such case we have to discuss opening of all ambient contests to all the guys. Cause why Extreme and Elite hw should be getting dust?
  8. XOC is dead. No more online XOC contests (the MSI one is the last one for XOC), no more XOC live contests hosted by HWBOT sponsors. I think time to change rules that everyone can participate in ambient contests cause if that doesn't happen, most of us will just compete for those because of boredom on different accounts, or putting puppets ahead of us (like my younger brother ^^).
  9. I have a good day, found golden 6950X (5.3+ R15) and few potentially golden 6700K, all in one day. LN2 time binning!
  10. You are funny cause you fail and can't admit that. Geekbench3 Rules You have rules exactly written down with fancy table in colours for children. PRO guys should be able to read. Yes those are harsh words but it's the truth. Regarding scores which don't have RTC app (I guess it's only Ney's score) I agree they should be removed or allowed without points.
  11. Yes, but those results had mandatory RTC HWBOT application (which is still not available in public) and also were done in live with eyes of judges everywhere.
  12. Well as far as I know in the rules clearly is that only Skylake is allowed for win 8/10 because of removed RTC bug. All PRO guys should know it ^^
  13. Golden E8500, beginning of C2D 45nm, I found a golden one, in 15 minutes we did 3rd place in CPU-Z (Duck had WR back than), it was my first LN2 session and after 15 min cpu dead. I should stop overclocking than ^^ no idea why I had mental breakdown and pushed more for XOC :banana:
  14. I am not sure why 5 GHz XTU on Skylake is so bugged. On Haswell it scaled with every timing and memory MHz... the limits were our memories, not the estimated score by program.
  15. Gunexit ^^ But prices are decent, good luck with the sale
  16. New Titans are very strong even in 3-Way and 4-Way thx for posting results
  17. Well I am not retiring yet, just considering and changing department to "binning" factory ^^
  18. Cause I won't do that without a profit. I want fun + get back all the $ I invested in XOC during the years ^^
  19. That's why I am considering Xtreme Retirement and stay as massive binner who doesn't keep anything good for himself and sells out all the cherries Pretty much same way as Sam. He retired from HWBOT and still has XOC fun!
  20. I release you from your curse and will grab kit #1 ^^
  21. That's why I am studying political science
  22. will grab few
  23. This is just a warm up
