Bought these something like 4 years ago, never opened, not even the original box it was shipped in. My comeback never ended up happening. I'm about to make another move and would rather not lug them with me and put them in the hands of someone worthier. I'll take $400+shipping OBO.

Everything is gone.

I got flooded with PM's. The E8600 was gone as of last night. I'm going to go by time order in which I received PM's for the boards. Everything is almost definitely spoken for. (Looks like I priced everything a little too well as usual )

Packing to move and I found these catching dust in a box in the corner of my living room. I don't remember how any of it clocks. I'm thinking about $90 + shipping each for the boards, and $35 + shipping for the CPU, but this is old stuff, so I won't ignore any offer.

typical vinbo

Looks like he's slimmed down quite a bit, looks like you could use some workout tips from him spliggity.

Happy birthday!

Pff...wasn't too long ago that your run wouldn't even be 1/2 complete with that amount of time.

First of all, it doesn't matter how experienced you are- there's always a chance you might kill something when modding or using a hard mod. But that's besides the point. It's another one of those minor points that make things unfair that could be corrected very easily. The secret afterburner nonsense has created trouble ever since its inception. Ironically, the people that it hurts the most are potential participants to MSI's own contests. And of course, it creates an awkward dilemma for anyone that has the software. They end up being an asshole no matter what. If they don't share it, they're screwing their friends, and if they do share it, they break an NDA. If they just never released such a thing period then everyone would need to mod, and that'd be fine too, but too late for that.

MSI either needs to release the unlocked afb to everyone or no one to avoid these fiascos. Very simple.

Great efficiency, Hideo-san. You're a true SuperPi legend.

I thought you said you were going to ease up?

Grats on the milestone

So, memes are all the rage these days right?

Sprave!

More importantly, you have Europe's golden boy himself. Surely he will effortlessly waltz to the top as he trumpets his message of European supremacy.

Ok, my mistake, it was sounding at first like all of you were planning to bench under one roof and effectively have a score factory churning out results for this contest. Of course I'm all for group bench sessions (as long as they lack any nekkid photoshoots...), hell...personally I barely give a rat's ass about hardware sharing. Passing good cpu's and gpu's around wasn't at all unheard of in the pre-hwbot days. It's just that one has to be on their toes when it comes to a contest where the grand prize is worth upwards of a couple grand, and every iteration of it has had plenty of drama. But looks like I got your plans wrong anyways...and yes I did just open up Australia on google maps You guys know I <3 you all

The last time I really competed in this, I made extremely last minute plans to bench with Mike...bought tickets something like 2-3 days before the contest end to fly over to his place the next morning. It's not such a joke when you live in a country that's roughly the size as the continent of Europe itself and isn't that uncommon for ocers in the states and the Aussies as well I think. He had the cards, I had the chips (probably about 4 or 5 that were good enough to qualify) and we both had boards. We almost toying around with the idea then of either setting up a pair of systems or swapping cards out to make two qualifying submissions instead of one, but we both felt that it seemed a little dishonest and just made a single submission as a team. We could've taken it to a further extreme and had another rig for Fugger who was playing battlefield 3 in the same room while we were benching, and theoretically monopolized the whole NA qualifier with one bench session, which honestly sounds quite a bit like what you guys are aiming to do. It doesn't break any explicit rules, but it's something that doesn't sit well with me. Everyone at least not reusing the same board might not effect scores, but it'd force you each to obtain your own as anyone else wanting to compete. You guys are already going to have enough an advantage just from having so many people around versus someone trying to tackle it solo. My two cents...

woot!

"other ways"

I read it first as 146589, and thought ok, not bad. Then I saw that I had the digits reversed, and wet myself.

Great new memes Knut
