ozzie

you may not get my point but its pretty bloody clear to me, but 1 thing im not gunna do is get into a back and forward slingin match over it, i get your point tho, theres 2 reasons for the air to be on, 1 for comfort and 2 to help lower the condensation level from chilled water and ambient air temp, as i said theres no way i could get the room to 16c if i left the air on for 24 hrs b4 benching, the air has been on now here for 3-4 hours ,set at 16c but its still 28c in the house as i type, you get me ??? if you wanna be nitty picky about it the water that comes out of your taps over there is probably 5c to start with for eg, now is that chilled ?? or ambient lol

take australia for eg, where i am, right now its 28c in here and its autumn or fall as you guys call it, summer can and is quite often here from 35c to mid 40c, i bench with chilled and plain water, i have air too, my AC setting goes to 16c but it never gets there, even with it set at 16c, the ambient around it is too high, the best ive ever got from the air on is 22c ambient in the room, to a lot of people 22c is a normal living temp, so if the room is at 22c the water is at 22c, to me thats ambient room temp , more often than not im benching in 28-30c ambient for most of the year, even in winter where the temp may get to say 12c on a cold day outside the ambient inside is around 15 to 17c and once you start benching the cpu will raise the water temp anyway , chilled its colder yes, but depending on the bench, cpu and voltages is the temp you're gunna get for your water, chilled or otherwise

haha small condom lol, good onya mate for passing on great deals , well done !!!

Right michael , thankyou !

and also michael, it was decided last time that a pic of the memory was mandatory for the sub, is this still the case for this comp in the memory frequency section ?

its called the silicone lottery boys, you either get lucky with a chip or you dont, mostly we all dont lol

this is like you cant use any other card than a geforce 7 series in the last round for RB, when it clearly does not say you cant use any other card, and using the "can be coupled with a geforce 7 series card" as the answer for an excuse for it is a poor excuse, it does not say in the limitation that no other card can not be used, for icestorm it clearly stated a geforce 7 series card to be used, therefore a submission for the RBENCH with another card of any kind is legitimite and a legal submission and SHOULD be allowed this changing cards for the matrox is the same princple same as some intel cpu costs, if you cant buy the hardware then dont go on a whinge complaining about it and dont go in the competitions..its that simple ....the section stated any matrox card for this section, what about the people that have already spent the money and bought the card , already spent hours testing, modding, whatever with it...what do they do with it now ???, sell it ??? where, the stall down the street ? or smash it with a bloody hammer

congrats to all in the comp, well done guys, especially to stelaras, top runs man, and thx to the bot boys as well for running it, W9's Mr Paco for instigating the set up for the comp to start with i tried 2 x 7900 gtx gpus in the venus but wouldnt see 1 card for some reason, tried everything, put the card in another board and no probs and away it went, but didnt like my board tho so ran with 1 card

especially with anything you buy isnt it ???? the silicone lottery applies, motherboards, cpus, gpus, psus, hdds, tv's , fridges, cars, anything , if we knew the result of a lottery or the silicone lottery we'd all be millionaires would'nt we ???, good on you dhunt3r35 for having a go, i hope they do well for you, i have mushkin blackline as well as redline, ive found them good solid performers that do what they say and better, good luck with them.

ive done it with a "soft bristle" tooth brush, not medium or hard, and with methylated spirits then blow it out with compressed air, and with intel as you know the pins sections face different ways, you dont go brushing the pins backwards when they face forwards, thats just looking for disaster no matter if you use a soft anything, we all know how easy it is for an intel pin to catch , next minute you got a bent pin or pins, a can of that tin stuff i reckon would cost $15-20, metho costs $5 a litre here in coles supermarket, it still dilutes the paste, the beauty of metho is it dries out and helps dissipate any moisture,(remember water in your fuel tank ? and you'd use metho to dissipate the water) doesnt hurt the board or electricals, doesnt melt anything, just a little slower to dilute the paste and or vaseline, ive poured metho all over my boards and no probs, nail polish remover works too, thats acetone, knock off your wifes or girls nail polish remover and comes with a soft brush, hahaha

youd give cpu-z a lesson about bein odd, thats for bloody sure !!!!

cpuu-z has more bugs in it than an aussie summer , bout time they extracted the digit and got em fixed, and its been in many versions over time, weve all experienced that

well done to greece with an obviously well thought out structure, the aussies were always going to be hard to beat, (proven record in tht ) but in anything ...no one or team is unbeatable under any circumstances, and we saw that , great job by all, especially the greeks team, the aussies were very lucky not to get done by the german team as well, they came out of the blue and belted everyone ..nicely done boys...makes for another good go next year for all ...guess the boys from down under are gunna have a rethink now, anyway all, good stuff and merry xmas to all, and big thanks to the bot boys and all you guys invovled with it for a great job under trying circumstances at times thru the year !!...merry xmas and have a great new year, may the next be a better for all

the answer is this ...its quite simple for all , unless you have a reading disability, or maybe something more drastic... either get into it or dont bother complaining with bullshit no one is twisting your arms to be involved in it......so if youre not going to be a player in it , why not leave it to those that are without the continual habitual bloody whinge about what is and what isnt... the scene has been set for the comp by BOT, like it or lump it, compete or dont, if you dont, no one will care anyway. NOW ....either put up or shut up !!!!

hey remarc......aw not old enough for ya..there is the older sockets there, too much snow/ice to see ? there is the option not even to bother about it if you dont like it you know, and seems to me if you dont the better off everyone and the comp will be, so why dont you just worry about keeping warm in russia this year, nice warm and cosy

theyre 12yrs old now, thats plenty old enough to be catergorised as old school.. put them up against what is available today and see if theyre not old school and how close they are to "new technology", they arent even in the race to be close

i dunno to much about too much at all , from what i see this matrox card inclusion in this platfrorm is gunna be very interesting, from $20 to $2000 +, well i spose it depends on what you can and what you cant , of course unless anyone has got 1 ready to go, i quite like it, seems to bring people cards back to the toors of it , in other words , get what you get from it .i feel.,

lol too costly are they , not too bad on the fsb with it either is it you idiot, 536 i got from a costly board ??...lol too funny, best you just bow out , get back in your stable and eat some hay or somethin, doubt your owner would you provide you some oats to get the brain workin https://vod.ebay.com.au/vod/FetchOrderDetails?sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AVPS&itemid=122232294613&transid=1715387932002

bahaha, even if you had the hardware, you'd have 2 chances of doing any productive with it, mine and buckleys, all you insight on here and where ever you go from day dot is trolling and being a niusance to all concerned, when are you gunna grow up, act your age and not your shoe size , be a productive member here and elsewhere and contribute properly instead of being a bunnying pain in the arse to everyone you come in contact with, (and youve done it to many, me included) and at a good guess thats how you roll in real life too

working here now michael from what i see but must say at around 1-30 pm here today no it wasnt OC eSports

they do what they want to, thats obvious, but really all its doing is putting another nail in bots coffin, when theres no more nails to go in the coffin theyll say...f.uck what happened !!!!

nah just piss him off altogether for being petty and a time waster

i thought dogpile was pretty much catered for all, apart from the hardware decided not to be allowed which there is disallowed hardware in all catergories (eg ES etc), as quick as you could change the cpu . gpu, drivers, motherboard, OS's etc you had a sub to sub and considering the amount of subs that were subbed i think we had 1 server stuff up where it had a heart attack, but only for a short time then it was fixed, i think bot did a good job of it and look forward to it being a part of the team cup again next year, maybe with a few improvements that im sure are being thought about already, but all in all i think it went well and thanks to all the bot boys concerned, im sure it made quite a few that got their cards out think, mmmmmmmmm ive still got this card, i thought id killed it long ago lol
