  1. First up is my 4770K which has been used in my 24/7 rig @ 4.4GHz. The CPU looks as good as new and has been kept cool for all it's life with a Dark Rock Pro 2 first and more recently with a H100. Price is £190 inc postage and is for the CPU only.

    Secondly we have my backup graphics card turned benching toy, the GTS 250. Has not really done much since I got it a couple of years ago, was won in a motherboard bundle and I had no use for it at the time so was just a spare in case my 4890 died (which it did). Has been used for a couple of benchmarks on HWBot since and was stable @ 811/1251/2018 for Vantage. Price is £25 inc postage.

    Payment for both items can be made with PPG or BT.

     

    If you have any questions about the items then feel free to ask.

  2. just noticed a couple of submissions where I have the best score on the team but I'm not receiving any hardware team power points for it. I have recalculated the submissions and that didn't seem to make any difference for to the result.

     

    Will have a quick check for other results tomorrow when I get a chance but I think it's just these two that are an issue.

  3. There is absolutely no way this will work anymore, because the contacts are gone and it would be stroke of "one time per life luck", if after replacing the connector the poor mobo is still working... :(

     

    I know I was only kidding :P

  4. Nick shih told me haswell's situation is different, he said that the reason all the cpu's have such close CB's is because its not CB's, its some temperature protection trip that intel built into the CPU. Ofcourse they could shut it down with cool software or tools but intel made a mistake and made it impossible to access or change the protection. Leaving us stuck at -130. The next release will have this "issue" fixed so we "should" see no cold bug on broadwell

     

    Is it not fixable in a similar fashion to the way we used to do CB mods on P55 and H55 motherboards or is it something built into the die itself hence why some of the ES models saw absolutely no CB?

  5. I finally understand why Asus called the board the "Rampage"

    I don't even know where the other blade is :/

     

    Yano you are lucky this didn't happen multiple times in Long Eaton!
