    Everyday all day submissions from unreleased Intel processors

    in Offtopic

    Well I know you werent talking about just him but it's funny you replied to him because Rauf has always brought up things that he noticed were crappy, just wanted to say, not being sarcastic.

     

    I definitely lost motivation for competitive overclocking, just want to do for fun now. I definitely couldnt keep up. It was my dream to have fun overclocking and get involved with elite league but if you cant get first place scores and dont have a great audience you will not get past the first sample. I just cant pay to play anymore.

     

    It's so crazy I can actually afford life things now, I finally have a phone and car and things I like, can go out to dinner. It was too much for me to sacrifice those things for a competitive hobby that's not competitive, but I really did have to, if I wanted to compete even in extreme league. Especially if you arent in the clique of passed around tweaks. I think it's sad because I really wanted things to get bigger and more popular.

     

    also definitely not posting this to try and change anything, been around long enough to know better, just figured I was bored and would share.

     

    It's funny typing this as I see the world record notifications out of the corner of my eye.

     

    Man they are really rolling in, my email is going crazy. But the notifications are cool. Gives a chance for lesser known people to get exposure and have people check out there #1 globals and wr's.

     

    I am sorry to break your opinin, but you cannot say that your hardware expenses prohibited you going out for a dinner or buying a car or phone. This is non-sense , only drama, and as much as i like drama this has no foundation whatsoever.

     

    To adress the matter, why are you guys jealous of some people getting samples before launch and benching them ? They have no commercial value, best thing you can do is use them for benching then keep them in daily use.

     

    You don't have them in stores? Blame Intel and weird launches and confussion, don't be jealous of a few guys that actually did something for the privilege of benching some free samples.

     

    I will spill out the truth for you . There is no competitive overclocking. You cannot make a living out of it. Nowdays there are 2 live competition, G.Skill world cup which from economical point of view is suicidal and your ass usually hurts after finishing it and Galax competition which is actually nice, good hardware, very polite treatment from organizers and so on. THIS IS IT . You also have some online competitions and that's all.

     

    Truth to be said overclocking cannot be viewed as a discipline, sport or whatever. Vendors realized that the ROI simply does not exist that's why they prefer to keep the investment now as tight as it can be. Tricksters made money out of oc in the golden days and continue to make so until the ship will crash but you know this is real life, the last rat onboard will die only when the ship will totally sink. Overclockers never could make a living from his hobby,maybe in golden times if you were so good and won every major comp and live in a country with moderate daily expenses,then maybe yeah.

     

    Nowdays what you get from investing time, energy and money is some free samples and parts before launch. If that is what you hate elite benchers for .... i will not comment further. Just remember what drives us all in this hobby is the passion and dedication, everything else comes and goes.
