Not at CeBIT it isn't.

Technically that's you as you were the one drinking the beer ...

Added this to the first post, might be useful: I think we need to do two things: 1) Everyone uses whatsapp 2) Make a Google map of hotel/appartment locations

Challenge accepted Nacho boy!

Dafuq did I do? So far 26 'clockers attending. Awesome!

So, not only is Asmola the guy who will do everything as long as you challenge him, he's also the one with the golden hand in Finland! Asmola, I challenge you to find another good CPU!

Try another bios first. There are a couple good ones!

Congrats!

Hey man ... wanna pick my hardware too?

Alright, more cross-testing results. Seems like 3/5 57x chips were false positives: they rebooted to 57x in the office, but when re-testing at home they did ~53x. One chip is doing 5500 6x12t and 5610 2c, which is in line with Viss' findings that there seems to be a large variance between max frequency depending on the amount of cores you've enabled. Truth be told, this comes as a suprise to me as, just like Hiwa, I found most SBE chips to be quite balanced (similar to SB). I assume it comes down to particular chips as the 4 others are behaving quite consistent (hitting the same frequency on 2c or on 6c). One of the chips is a truely interesting chip. This one could reboot all the way upto 5843MHz in the office (tested multiple times) and seems to reboot at 57x here at home as well. When cooling down the chip, however, the reboot process gets a lot more complication. Here's what I found: - 5100MHz, 6c12t, +21°C => OS - 5300MHz, 6c12t, +8°C => OS - 5500MHz, 6c12t, +3°C => reboot, but no OS - 5500MHz, 6c12t, -7°C => no reboot! - 5500MHz, 2c2t, -15°C => reboot, but no OS It's the first Sandy Bridge(-E) I've seen behave like this. Really odd. Today's tests were on the XPower-II, which seemed to give more accurate results than the R4E I tested before. Not higher OC results, just more accurate following the method. This weekend, I'll re-try the method on the R4E to do another cross-check. Disappointing for sure ... but interesting nonetheless.

Get ready to pick you up from jail ?

In the suitcase it should be fine. Handluggage is a no-go, unless you want to spend time in jail

Anyone having memory clocking issues > DDR3-2000 with C2 silicon and 1.2b1. Pretty cool the 1.67 is working so nicely. Just selecting 1.67, set bclk=162 and boot in windows //edit Not very pleased with the memory compatibility of the 1.2b1 bios. Not only is there a very bad overclocking capability, but 90% of the time there's a b7 lockup when going from triple channel to quad channel. I reckon it's just a compatibility issue with C2 retail silicon ...

Really weird vibes coming from C.Ney lately ...

Hehe, was it the system picture size of 15MB that was the issue? Good to know this ugly error page is coming up. That definitely needs fixing.

You recently got beaten in firebombing motherboards by the Taiwanese team of the Xfastest forum

cool!

I didn't get an invitation

Good for you, Hiwa

I actually think I have that board somewhere!

I think the size of your image is too large. Or something related to the filename of the validation picture or system image.

Lol, wtf. Why are people so panicky!

I bought this:

1 teaspoon. That's a crazy party in his book!

Yes.
