  1. Was hoping to upload all the non-k bios I have for Skylake here to have in one central location but noticed we now have a 6 MB limit.
    Maybe we could get a little higher limit after say a 1 year probation of proper behavior ? 6 MB is only enough to upload 1/3 of 1 of these bios files.
    OK I found what I consider to be the next best thing. 
    All of this work has been done by chinobino of Win-Raid big thanks to him
    Maybe a forum mod can download these and add them to the "Z170 BIOS, tools, facts, stats and list of mainboards" from Aug 5 2015 by Massman or similar thread
    Here is a list of available downloads and the link to get there

  2. So I have recently been hearing rumors about myself that I believe to be untrue
    I noticed that some have been connected with true statements I made
    from quite a while back in team private chat so that may be why they have gone unnoticed
    This is my attempt at addressing these concerns in an open and honest way
    not unlike what might have started this mess in the first place, open honest discussion that is.
    We will have to wait and see what the community thinks as a whole when this is all said and done.
    Until then sit back, grab a bag of popcorn and let's see where this goes

    Reading this not necessary to following along but it explains a bit about me (  tries to, quickly ) and how I ended up finding the OC community. 
    Only a handful of my closest friends have heard this, that part I'm certain of :)
     

    Spoiler

    First off, I deeply care about this community and do not know what life would be like without it.
    That is why I'm trying to be as open as possible about this not only for my sake but for the sake of the community as a whole.
    January 2010 still living in the condo I bought when I was 20 (2000) I had finally had enough.
    Too many "friends"and a neverending flow of drama and pain. Best friend lost ( passed away 2001 ) tore the real friendships apart
    About 20 of us at my house playing pool when we got the worse phone call. Best friends brother on speaker phone
    for all of us to hear. At the hospital, called to ask us for our blessing to pull Eddie off life support and end the pain.
    ( Obviously young and fresh out of college the only money I had was saved up mostly through my 4 year internship ( HS and Tech School ) 
    as well as the little bit left from my skating career, so I bought a fixer upper since I found myself living at my GF's grandparents house. )
    That saturday night shortly after he repainted the car I bought him ( 89 Scirocco ) as a thank you for constantly showing up
    un-announced at my condo during the 6 months it took to remodel he was driving around the city visiting friends to show off the new ride.
    He ended up getting pulled over by District 5 Police dept. so probably the highest crime spot in the city. They were supposedly looking for
    a felon who was on the run and his vehicle matched the description. He was confused and had no idea what was going on resulting in the police
    taking his life for doing nothing more than showing off his new to him car . . . banana the D5 police, they are well aware.
    After this nothing was the same, long term relationships with SO's and lifelong friendships began to tear apart
    At this time Milwaukee area crime and drugs were on the rise. We were emotionally still kids who grew up in the burbs
    For those who failed to do the work and face what we had all been through trouble arrived quickly. Hard to blame anyone
    when you know that kind of pain.

    Back to Jan 2010 I knew I could no longer go on living in this mess, talked to my family who lived an hour west if they could make a spot for me. They asked what I would do with my house and how much time they had to prepare. I told them I've had enough so the sooner the better. I would call the bank, explain my situation, tell them I'd let the house go to bank auction where they would lose a lot of money and a week later we made a deal.
    Starting Jan 20 2010 I made it a point to give myself 30 minutes every morning to take inventory on how I was feeling, remind myself why I made this change and promised to be open and honest with myself and to think things through before making any decisions, judgements or statements. At the end of the day I would take notes and write down questions ( to be answered the following day ) about how I was feeling about specific situations, relationships with people and career choices along with what I may be feeling like in general that day.
    I still do this everyday and I feel like amazing things have happened because of it. Not many people conciously remind themselves of their core beliefs, values, goals and dreams on a daily basis and follow it up in the evening by writing down their thoughts and opinions about the day. I feel it could take someone who feels stuck on something in life and give them the strength and vision needed to make that next step
    So 2010 to 2014 were very difficult times. I took myself away from everything I had known up to that point and knew I had a lot of learning and healing to do. I was always a very extroverted person always involved with interests that surrounded me with many people. Skating and touring with ASA which became the X Games (1995 - 2000) to becoming involved in Open ( Pro ) Disc Golf leagues, tours and events.
    So now what, I'm stuck in my room with a laptop computer and started to become interested in this whole overclocking thing and by 2013 I started purchasing hardware to see what it was all about. Found R/Overclocking and starting begging Buildzoid to start a HWBot team since I knew he had already been active in the community at times. Needless to say I loved everything about the OC community, started to meet new people and actually had a reason to leave the house and socialize. So like I usually do when I find an activity or hobby I like dive right in and start taking it seriously.

     

    That's enough about me, for those brave enough to read my wall of text shame I appreciate you. For those who did not I understand and respect your decision since time is our most valuable resource.

    Back to what this is all about. I have heard things from time to time, usually from teammates that are newer to the team but not necessarily the scene. The basic gist of it is I am a scammer who lies about things he bins and hardware he intends to sell for profit. Now the way I see this is if I have sold something to someone the only way I would know if they were unhappy about the sale is for them to tell me or to ask for a refund. I have obviously had discussion with people I have sold binned hardware to (mostly ddr3 psc or sammy) about the settings I used or other settings to try if their imc behaved differently or they were using a different kind of motherboard and on rare occasion them being unable to match the last 20MHz or needing 1.920v to finish 32m when I binned it for 1.890 - 1.900v. When that happens though I need to explain that not only are my cpu's binned for mem OC but so was the motherboard ( Z97 OCF ). I can remember what I recall to be the first time I sold a kit of binned ddr3 and in talking with the buyer he had a motherboard I would hardly consider acceptable for this kind of OC and his cpu was just 1 of 1 so completely random. I know I've told this story several times so for those who have heard it skip ahead but I bought 5 different motherboards and 3 different cpu's before I was able to boot 2666c8 psc with proper timings ie cwl=6 . I continued buying and testing boards and even had issues with a known great itx 2 dimm board and a hardly retail orange 2 dimm board was no walk in the park when compared to my beloved Z97 OC Formula.

    OK I'm getting off topic. What I am asking of you the community is if you have heard of anyone that feels cheated by a purchase they made please send them here, and if that person was you please join the discussion. Post a quick (or detailed) explanation of why you feel cheated and If myself or general concensus agree's I will send you a full refund via Paypal without the need to return the hardware since I sold things 2015 - 2021-ish and the hardware might be gone etc.
    Please keep this topic about me and only me, I'm sure many of us have had our share of issues over the years but I would like to keep this thread open for a good period of time to give everyone and anyone the chance to come forward and explain their case. Obviously if you have any info regarding the sale such as the For sale thread, private messages, public messages or Paypal receipts that would be helpful but not necessarily required. I do try to save important information and have an 8tb hard drive devoted specifically for all things OC / computer hardware. So it could come in handy if someone tries to pull a slinky and profit off this thread without warrant . I hope this makes sense, I tried to do it off the cuff so to speak as I believe that approach to be more genuine than someone who writes something that has been reviewed by friends and family, gone through several revisions, proof read looked at under a microscope ie too perfect and sterile to be from the heart. And on that note .  .  .
    Let the games begin !

  3. What are the current rules when it comes to Manufacturer Binned hardware, specifically when it comes to using current gen products such as ram, cpu or motherboard ?
    I assume this forces you into the "Elite" class but are these allowed to be used outside of Open Division Leagues or Competitions and since the only hardware that really shows up as "ES" would be Intel Qualification Samples / Engineering Samples is there even a way to separate these out ?

    Ola mate, can you disable ecores on bios correctly? I saw other submit where overclocker told about bios bugs so no ecores disable.

    Yeah, you can disable E cores now. I think starting with bios 115 ( I did it using 115U3 ) but it's not how you'd think it should work. Have not used my board since the 8th so the setting is fuzzy but I think you disable per core e core control instead of changing active e cores to 0 since it only goes to 1
