  1. These 771 boards are quite fun, though I feel like either CPU-Cool works significantly better then setfsb on these boards or I was doing something else wrong.

    I would for sure like to further explore these supermicro boards next year, if you want we can make a discussion thread about these boards at some point. Even going cold with memory known to do 500 MHz in another board I couldn't get close with NB on LN2 (actually barely got anything more over ambient anyways), so great work!

    Not expected less from you, great stuff, you do something special to run full at full pot ?

    Only thing it needed was less PLL (was running 1.4V PLL). Was quite surprised, since at default it coldbugs at -120ish. Or this board just works better on cold then my R2E did, not quite sure yet, but I'm certainly buying a R3F now (this one was a loaner from Gigelz). 
    Also had a 14.99 score but didn't take a screenshot because I didn't notice my 14.96 was invalid :( 

    One of many scores from the session with Bullshooter, Gunzi and Tantekaethe.

    What's the deal with the number of scores for 3DMark06 LEGACY GPU? It says "TOP 5 AVERAGE". But no country has any more than 4 scores yet. And when I subbed my score for United States, which already had 4 scores, it kicked @jpmboy's score off the list. Leaving 4 scores still. So how does a country ever get 5 scores on the list? And...NO...his score was with a GTX 1070 Ti, my score is with an RX Vega 64. So that's not it. This makes no sense. Am I missing something?

    PCI, AGP, IGP, Hybrid and PCIe. Germany is missing AGP, Italy PCI for example.

    I think what we need is an extremely budget dice pot even if it is not amazing having a low cost entry is a way to get more people to stick with it. I made my first dice pot a few years ago out of the copper slug from an intel stock cooler and a copper pipe that i joined jbweld. If there was a pot on the market for sub 150$ I think a lot of people would find it more realistic to invest in the hobby without spending 350$ on a new high end pot.

    yeah used pots can be found for <100€ at times but they are usually sold fairly quickly and new ones are really expensive. Still using an old Ryba pot I picked up last year for 80€. Did spend significantly more on Dice and LN2 since then though...

    I didn't read through all of this, so this may have already answered. Stage 10 is divided by CPU socket. So Mobile chips can be used. There are some fancy Chinese CPU creations, having a mobile chip on a shim for LGA socket. It's basically a form of BGA to LGA adapter. Running a mobile chip in a desktop motherboard can yield some slight advantage, especially if you plan to run them under cold.

    But technically those are custom creations and thus are actually falling under the retail available hardware rule. On the other hand, the CPUs itselfs where retail available. It's just the shim that was created by third party and they are available to anyone who can organize the shipping from China. I just want to double-check that, hence I ask.

    as cool as they are, the few I've seen in the wild so far were usually ES chips - thus not viable for comps. IF you find these with retail chips the question applies off course.

    @mickulty: the problem is not, that i would prefer legacy pci-e hardware, the problem is, modern GPU´s make way more points so the results of legacy GPU nearly does make no difference. the relation is disproportunal. if our team had a very good 2080Ti i could run my 3850 easily @ stock to beat macsbeach98´s team (btw very nice work macsbeach98). that´s a pity to me...

    just my two cents worth...

    Lets have a look at the last time there was a "GPU socket" categorie and look at #1 and #2...

    And, for better comparision, the full results.

    Looking at this even the PCI score could end up relevant this year... Back then if Germany would've had a higher score in PCI they would've beaten Australia in that stage... So shut up with "the old stuff is irrelevant". If we only focus on the 2080 Ti score, there is no way we are winning that stage even if we have fillers...
