  1. Sorry to sound bitter, didn't mean it that way. It's just hard without a reference, such as my old Inflection point, or a good old F1 EE, but a pot I've never heard of. :)

     

    The review is a nice try, but as always, it's hard to write something to convey the true benching feeling since it isn't all as black and white as with graphics cards, etc, where all the differences can be shown in graphs.

  2. In Finland we still pay 8€/liter + dewar (5€/day). So take 60kg and pay 471€ for it :)

    Yeah, we are the best, cause we pay more than others ..right?

     

    They probably charge by the weight of the guy picking the LN2 up. :D

     

    Or maybe it's some sort of government scheme. Extra tax on LN2 to boost healthcare. Or something.

     

    Btw, I have my own dewars, if I didn't, I'd have to pay rent + handling fee each time, heard the handling fee is ~€50 every time...

  3. I searched for a thread like this, but can't seem to find any. I know there is one (or more) on XS, but I figured now that I've fallen back into the misery where I have to negotiate and pay for my own LN2, I might as well moan about it so everyone can see.

     

    So, the question: how much do you pay for your LN2?

     

    My current deal runs at 22 SEK + VAT per liter, working out at a nice sum of 27.50 SEK, which in its turn is... 3€. :(

     

    I was much happier when I had someone pay for my LN2.

  4. I never got around to try. Come to think of it, it was actually an E4300 as well. It was before I had LN2 access, and the CPU was owned by a friend of mine. I wonder if he's still got it though, he owes me a favor for borrowing my HD5450 for a year now. :D

     

    The best increase I had in BCLK wall was with my E6320, btw. That did ~530 on air, then 628 on LN2. Only tried a single chip though.

  5. Celeron 420 is not an option, they have very crappy cores and very low FSB walls (usually ~420 on air)

    E1200/E2140 - yes. I binned them for a while, my best chip only does 490 on air with finding a 500-capable (air) chip being my wet dream :D

     

    Believe me, I know everything I need to know about 420s.

    I had an E2140 (well, not me personally, but I benched it) that did ~505MHz FSB on air once. I struck a bit lucky with one 430 though, it did 536MHz FSB, then again, that was on LN2. Also comes with higher standard frequency, so it's a bit hard on air.

     

    I don't know why I care, really. Xeon L3426 is also quite useful, come to think of it. Expensive as fuck though. If you can find someone with a bunch of retail L3426, give me a shout, I'd need a few, and not really interested in paying $300+ each.

  6. It's like your name on red color which mean this guy dead. It's about culture. Learn it before you want joking for a person.

     

    You should move to Sweden, you'd like it here. Our immigrants always demand that the society should adapt to them. :D
