    Yeah writing a plugin is the proper way but it's just too time consuming getting to know the invision pb framework, setting up a dev mode invisionpb to develop and test the plugin, etc etc.

    I just hacked the theme to include the info into an iframe. It's dirty but it works.

    Thats sad. The upper pic i made is showing the board after i cleaned it a bit.I was hoping that the black mass was just some molten plastic casing from the lower chip or something like that since I don't have any reference Pic.Anyway, Thank you.

    If you are sure that this is the only damage done ... and judging from Pic 1 , i would say that sometimes a good technician , can do "wonders"

    Give it a try.

  4. Fire Strike benchmarks are only available in the Windows editions of 3DMark.

    ⚠ Fire Strike tests are demanding benchmarks designed for high-end hardware. If your system scores less than 2800 in Fire Strike you should run Sky Diver instead.


    Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 benchmark for high-performance gaming PCs and overclocked systems. Fire Strike is very demanding, even for the latest graphics cards. If your frame rate is low, use Sky Diver instead.


    Fire Strike Extreme is designed for testing PCs with multiple GPUs (minimum 1.5 GB graphics card memory required). It raises the rendering resolution from 1920 ×1080 to 2560 ×1440 and improves the visual quality.


    Fire Strike Ultra is a dedicated test for 4K gaming. It raises the rendering resolution to 3840 × 2160 (4K UHD), four times larger than 1080p. A 4K monitor is not required, but your graphics card must have at least 3GB of memory.

    K i'll open up again , but the first that nags about why is this card being allowed is getting a ban :D  you need only 4 dual GPU cards, 590, 690, 6990, 7990 also can run it right? Issue is that most look for the best performant setup, usually its more about getting the scores done , than have 2 high scores and 2 missing subs. It's Country Cup right?

    Instead of opening the door to rare or pricey or professional vga's ... should we consider lowering the 3dmark preset , so that the more common dual vga's could compete ?

    @Leeghoofdyoure right, 5970, 6990, 590, 690, 760 Mars can theoretically run Stage 14, but they're completely crippled by VRAM. 

    It's just not a lot of fun benching those cards when no amount of OC will save them from starving on memory :P

  6. "Is overclocking DEAD or dying?" = Yes it is dying. Slowly but steady every year ... since the Sandybridge era.

    Overclocking was and still is , about gaining a good percentage of performance , for free.

    Overclocking great eras were , when it was easy for the masses (mainly for the gamers) and when the hardware from INTEL & AMD was " power unleashed"

     

    Wanna go back in time and have some examples ?

    The user gets a Celeron 300A to 450 and matches the performance of the top of the line P-II

    The user gets a P-III Coppermine 600E to 800 or 700E to 933 (Top was a P3 1000)

    The user gets a Thunderbird 700 to 1000

    The user gets a Tualatin 1.0A to 1.33

    The user gets a Tbred-B 1700+ to 3200+

    The user gets a P4 1.6A to 3.2

    The user gets an A64 bus speed from 200 to 250

    The user gets a Core Duo from 266fsb to 333fsb

    The user gets a Core 2 Duo from 333fsb to 400+fsb

    The user gets a Nehalem from 133bclk to 200bclk

    *Same applies to VGA's too

    ...

    All the above numbers were easy to achieve (no extreme numbers) and required zero portions of magic ... just a slice of knowledge , some volts and a good air-cooling

    FREE performance !!!

    What the heck ... we were overclocking Sound Blasters by changing the crystal , back then  :D

    ...

    What happened next ?

    Locked cpu's (Intel mainly) and a few overclocking models to play with ... but PAY for it (where is the free performance?) oeo ?

    ...

    What do we have today ?

    Hardware already binned from the factory and retailed at almost 90% of its speed

    Board makers giving you ready profiles to get that extra 5 to 10% with an AIO

    ... and GAME OVER for the masses.

     

    Today's performance gain from O/C is minimal and the regular user can have it with the push of a button ... so why bother ?

     

    Of cource there will always be minorities ... So will be the overclocking community.

    That is my personal opinion and the general idea about Overclocking today.

    3DMark03: Intel Integrated graphics - Sandy/Ivy/Haswell/Skylake/Kabylake & Coffeelake CPUs - (4 scores)

    LATEST CHANGES/UPDATES IN RED

     

    Can we let that stage free , for all Intel Gen ... so that users with older hardware or with laptops , can participate ?

    Older gen's wont take the crown from SKL and KBL and CFL , but in some cases the older gen option will help teams obtain the 4 scores more easy.

    Yeah right. I know exactly how all of it works. It's not rocket science. And no, you don't need one of those to do any of it. Need more volts? Wire to the 3.3V or 5V rail. Need more amps? Replace the MOSFETs with better ones. Need better capacitors?  Better coils? Replace those too. Trimmers in a box with a fancy digital voltmeter/display. Whoopty do...

    It's unnecessary because what's already on the board is likely plenty to do whatever you want to do as far as OC the shit out of your RAM. RAM isn't a high power device that needs epower...EVER!!! You're trippin' with that comparison. And even if you needed to replace some MOSFETs or whatever(not likely)...they're a hell of a lot cheaper than that thing I'm sure. Hence why those things never caught on. They're pretty much good for nothing. Meaning they do nothing that can't be done just as easily and/or more cheaply without them. And that's a fact.

    Or maybe you can point me to an instance of one being used to break some kind of RAM OC record that could never have been achieved without it. I'd love to see that...

    At your first post i was kind of skeptical about you.

    To be honest , i said to myself "come on that's MrGenius posting" let's be positive , lets see what he really means with his post.

    But after your 2nd post i am 100% certain.

    I wont get into technical details you cant follow up ... so i wont answer you.

    I dont know where you come from , but in my place you are the kind of man we call "Karagiozis"

    It's a historical figure that you need to study to broaden your knowledge.

    This little video is deticated to you (please dont jump into any conclusion in a hurry ... take your time , seriously).

     

    P.S.

    I understand that you didnt get the meaning of my emoticon in the first place , so please do your best this time :)
