  1. Albrecht is a great person. Many thanks for everything Alby ... but dont leave your post , please. p.s. Please someone , clear this thread from non-relevant
  2. "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 ... 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 ???
  5. You seem to have a very solid opinion for something that you havent actually seen or even touch ... and also dont have a clue what exactly it is , how it works , what it adjusts ... and so on. It's like someone comes here after a decade and writes that current "epower devices are totally unnecessary in most cases" ?
  6. @hipro5 I have one too And i also have all adapter variants (ddr-ddr2-ddr3) Great device and very overclocking friendly ... it was a must have back then !!! Here are some product pics The good old i4memory , still hosts some review pictures of the maximizer device http://i4memory.com/reviewimages/memory/hipro_maximizer/html/
  7. Good luck , finding one It took me 7 years to get one. Unfortunately it's a rare item nowadays.
  8. These are known chips. Back in the day ... they were commonly used in Kingston Value Ram KVR333X64C25 ... and they are Winbond BH-6
