Hmm... Chris? First of all; I do not think any vendor, motherboard, ram, graphics etc. buys ES from Intel, but request chips, but I a, not fully ajour on this one, but 99% certain though.. Especially since Intel reserves the right for alot of things, such as vendors may under no circumstances make a NDA with powerusers or media and ship ES cpu with motherboard prior to NDA is lifted from Intel. (which we all know happens quite often) Second of, I am not suggesting binning in quantity of 100's, but rather 25. However, 25 000 Euro chips with the purpose of binning, is CPU mafia methods in my book, we might have different point of view on this, but, that is my opinion.

Just a bit funny that you pressume it is an insult towards you, it really wasnt, despite what you may think. ASUS Nordics has given me hardware in the past, may do in future, may not, but "banned", I have never heard of, but, you got insider knowledge and is interested in the whereabouts? If so, you should really get a hobby.

Massman, I was right.

... when you realise that you've become a narcissistic bastard.

Ofc. not only Taiwanese... In USA you got the ASUS ROG, in Europe you got ASUS Nordics. But in Taiwan it is legit to fuck up competition for all vendors, outside Taiwan, only ASUS embrace it.

Being a ginger isnt easy!

He didnt want to be mine though!

This one is actually funny

Considering going... Would it be possible to borrow a chair at someones place first night? :-) If going I'll arrive past midnight 5-6th, and wont be able to check in any place at that time..

Yea, and density, it is interesting moving to 4GB sticks.

I missed an "always", as in I dont always agree... In this case, I do, it is besides the point though. It is a low blow to publish an email like this.

Yes

Quite sad to publish emails without asking for permission in advance.... I dont agree with Pieter, however, your reaction is only weaking your position, while you actually wanted to do good.. :-/ Bad move man.

You Aussies got regular 13A too^^ (Installed 4x 13A 2 months ago, 3 dedicated to hardware... 16A is possible, but by law requires thicker 'more expensive' cables for home usage, in industry there is a different standart)

Question; Anyone going from Berlin by car, or Hamburg? PJP, I'll call you today if your not online

Been used before, used it twice myself. NB pot, and on top of a folie tray for ram cooling

In that situation, you should have refused to speak Italian and seem angry, would have been hillarious

... When you wont have a beer the night before an overclocking event *cough gautam cough* ... When you consider Massman more powerful then the prime minister of your country ... When overclockers use your surname instead of nickname ... When you buy/use more liters of LN2, then all other liquir materials together (gas,milk,soda,beer, water etc.) ... When you actually give a fuck about the European/American bench-war ... When you dont mind if a 'bit' hardware dies in the process.

... When you look more forward to -20C winter nights, then sunny summer days.

amazing thread, enjoying reading it, so obvious fails and lack of acceptance of the feedback from the poweruser :-)

Not what I have heard!

I'd do it if I knew a bit more in advance, cannot spend that sort of money on short notice as a student. As for economy I'd spend ~300 Euro at max probably, on transport. As for time in advance; I'd need 2 weeks notice, minimum Distance; Dont care... I have even considered one in Kuala Lumpur...

... when you got Massman on speed dial. ... when buying old shitty hardware, just to bench it because the topscore isnt high.

Corrected

It makes much more sense to put "Approved by Massman" in a review :-D
