  1. I think my first time with LN2 was during an Awardfabrik session which I think was around 2007/2008.

    My first LN2 rig with my first LN2 container. I'm not sure but I think it was E4300 and 8800 GTS in SLI :D

  2. I"ve read some news about it, but I want to confirm. Is AM4 going to use 90x54mm mounting holes? I want to make a batch of CPU brackets and backplates and I want it to be compatibile with new socket.

     

    Thanks

     

    Yes I just measured my AM4 Board here and it's exatly 90 x 54 mm

  3. Couldn't agree more. This rule never made sense to me. In the end you still need a lot of people working together considering the amount of hardware and variety within the stages. And honestly if one guy manages to run all stages alone and wins the cup - he has my biggest respect because this is a shtload of work.

  4. The attitude of some guys (in this thread) is truly shocking. Over the years I often had access to hardware prior launch without signing NDA - still I did not post it in public. Do you guys even understand that people in this industry can lose their jobs because of your actions? And I'm not talking about individuals who give out hardware. It's the impact your information can have on the IT market in general.

     

    It's in their best interest that people think something interesting is coming and hold off their purchase till then. The same applies to Intel, actually.

     

    This is actually a huge problem. From a distributor point of view I can see a significant impact from leaks on hardware purchases. Do you think it's good for the IT industry if customers hold off their purchases for months? Especially considering that leaks often don't reflect the actual performance or hardware details so potential customers get a wrong impression of what might come up in future.

     

    It's very shortsighted from all pages who leak this kind of info to think this would be beneficial. For sure you will have your clickbait hype for a day but in the end you burn yourself if you play with fire. I can only hope that these people don't get support anymore in future. You can be sure that I use my contacts to spread out who to trust and who not to.

     

    Talking in private with other overclockers - fine. Posting full reviews in public with performance numbers - nogo

     

    The fact that Intel is very sloppy when it comes to NDA doesn't mean that it's the right thing to share everything in public. However, it's still Intels problem and if they want to pretend these leaks they have to take care of where they ship their CPUs prior launch and maybe start punishing ppl who break NDA.

  5. Welcome to the overclockers-world where everyone tries to push as hard as possible even if it includes playing "in the grey zone".

     

    I'm not sure if your water cooling solution would be considered "Water (Custom)" or "TEC / Peltier / Water (Chilled/Cold)". There are different ways you can look at it. From a fair-play point of view it's probably not so good but then we are looking for overclockers with decent basic knowledge. I appreciate the post and that you're being honest. Personally I still consider the results as legit.
