    Dewar (EU)

    in Sold

    Posted

    Hey guys,

     

    I'am looking for a dewar to buy. EU only because of import charges, taxes and shipping. I require very, very and very well packaging to be sure the dewar will come to me in perfect condition, also that is what I'am looking for, lets say with leakage about max 0.3l/24h.

     

    The size could vary, I'am most intersted in 25-30l or so. Also, preferable type is storage/transport one.

     

    No idea about price, jsut FYI, I can have brand new 32l with storage-time capacity 140days for 900€ with tax.

     

    Thanks,

    Just want to talk more about the "no need for OC anymore".

     

    Working at Caseking we have a lot of customers asking for OC. The funny thing is that they always just ask for CPU OC. Nobody cares about GPU Overclocking. Which is funny considering that 99% of the games today are GPU limited.

    It's even more funny when you take a look at the current hwbot situation. We know that the focus over the years went from multi GPU full-out to single GPU, to 2D. Kind of the opposite what you need for gaming.

     

    Actually, I think that OC can be sold. Also overclocker himself. Its just matter of how can you sell it, how can you sell yourself, bit of marketings skills and open-minded thinking. Lol, everything can be sold and may have use on the market, even the world's biggest bullshits. Why not OC? I'll be the freelance overclocker one day, thats what I have in my mind, and I kinda believe in that :)

    You also have to know that it's not my main job to overclock with LN2. I overclock few days per month - not more. My main job is product development which is also related to my LN2 containers I did in the past and ofc my engineering degree.

     

    I guess only Vince has LN2 for daily bread :D But still, you got your degree, but you could create whatever else with it not related to XOC. The beauty comes when the hobby returns the time, effort, dedication and money you put it and it gives you back, even if small portion of it.

     

    I resell HW, which is part of my living and because I like HW, It feels good. What feels even better is, that I did some delids, OC tuning and other OC stuff related and I get paid for it. I have family too so my hobby comes in second, but if my hobby can pay for it itself, its awesome, even in small scale case like mine.

     

    I think that earning money by binning while looking for golden jewel is awesome :) I hope, that one day will come, and if someone ask some of us, what do we do for living, we say "Pouring liquid nitrogen in computer, mate" and wait for the wtf look :D

    And if and when it happens, the HWBOT will have significant role in the whole thing :) So lets do it right :)

    @websmile

     

    Even less, guys buys 4 TX at the release, adjust a clock on air a bit and thats the way how to rule Enthusiast ladder (not much but still giving the points). And I'am sure that some of them just wont enter extreme/elite, because they wouldnt be at first places suddenly :) Hows that different in matter of budget from a real PRO OC with hard approach who buys 10 boxes of 6700k, keep best one, sold rest and rebuy? I'am not there personally, I hope I will and I see it as part of today overclocking:)

    Dancop ( an example ) is a professional by the meaning of earning money.

    Yes, he has the knowledge, the skills, the passion, but it is clear he does it

    for financial reasons.

     

     

    George, how did you determined, that Dancop does benching for the money? Maybe you know him better then I do, but I don't think he is benching for earning. As far as I know, he has his daily job, he has family.

     

    Lets do some logic. First off all, binning is no serious business unless you have the perfect way to get rid of the rejects.

    Second, you need a big chunk of money to do binning for earning the money. And binning takes time, alot of it. I did the math man...

    Third, we all know this hobby is expensive as f*ck, and if there is a little bit way to make some revenue of the money we are all putting in this godloving hobby, we all should and will do it.

     

    The better example is Roman, but I don't think, that the fact he is making money is the main thing. He is just that good, that he managed to turn his hobby to also earning the money for the living. Also, I don't know him that good either, so I can't say really.

     

    As for the issue of binning itself. Yes, there are two sides of the coin. But mainly, I think its matter of approach. I'am not that rich neither I don't have budget for binning right now, nor alot of guys have. When I'am trying to involve some guys into this, they said, that it doesn't make sense because you actually can't compete guys with LN2 and few 1/200 binned chips and they give up before start. But hey, lets these PRO OC guys speaking. Roman, Daniel, Allen, Michael, Hazzan and all the others. When they started with XOC or just OC itself, had they ever thinking about binning? I guess no, its all part of the progress and evolve as overclocker himself.

     

    So yes, the competetion itself may seems to be a little unfair but I think, it isn't. This is just how world works in all ways.

     

    This whole thing is appears to be so complicated but it isn't really. I would do it as Splave said. You wan't to submit samples? Then enter Elite.

     

    Simple, simple, simple...

    We need simple simple simple, the harder things are getting to understand the more new guys just move along and decide not to participate.

     

    IF you get samples and or have ES you are elite.

    IF not you are not.

     

    2 leagues cut and dry. Majors and Amateurs. Cooling can be cheated so is irrelevant. Even if a device is developed for telemetry and temperature I'll stick the probe under the south bridge and run my cpu on ln2 lol. Dont make a league for something that cannot be policed.

     

    Back to new guys. So they come read the rules, you are an amateur unless you get hw samples and or choose to use ES or you just prefer to compete there if not you are amateur league.

     

    Not if you use and air cooler and you are 2 months old and have ginger hair then you are in the ginger amateur air leauge.

     

    ^^ what he said...

     

    I tried to involve some new guys into this, but 9 of 10 gave up after few mins, cos its complicated, they said. Not they're stupid or lazy (maybe a little) but first come not-simple, first feel overwhelmed.

    If I understood the idea the right way, I like it. I assembled together over the time very good two loops with two MORAs 4x180mm and I run them outside on the terrace. These days I'am about to enter extreme league but I would like to compete with water, because sometimes water OC may come easier where voltmods are needed and my external-watercooled-plug n play workbench is more easy to work with then with LN2.

     

    As for water (non)chilled issue, its hard to determine what should be the cross-temp because me, personally, I can set the temp at some range so I can make it into the templimit. Also, we just can't force all water users to use water sensor. I suggest to keep chilled water in ordinary water unless someone comes with some brilliant idea.

     

    So my proposal is that even elite/extreme members could compete but there should be temps/picture verification of cooling method. Most of us are adding a piece of paper with name/date when we are selling a piece of HW, so I guess it shouldn't be a problem to add it to photo of hardware :)
