As per request it became a meme...

Christian Ney's 4 steps of review procedure 1. Always deliver hardware to him via Personal Express 2. ALWAYS deliver Mainboards in right position or he might RMA it due to not finding socket and RAM-slots on the first look (crash test included). 3. Be aware you will get back the samples broken ^^ 4. Chances of a bad day after recieving back your sample(s) are high - so make sure to have an umbrella with you that day

crazy chip - well done!

Wow look who's there again Pretty damn nice work there man!

not too bad - 6.5 on the first run looks really impressive!

very nice action with good old 580 matrix!

If it works, I'll be doing some hwbot-bios for sure Should work on all AMI v8 bios...the software I found during today's search is pretty interesting also

Here is one with a smaller injected image - should work, double-checked and all seems fine

Done with MMTOOL v3.12 (http://www.rebios.net/biosfile/tool_8_RC1.rar) Not sure, the injected image was 50kb larger uncompressed (but should be handled by the program) - I think if this would be an issue it will tell you during flash (try not to force flash on the first run). I can try to make the injected image a bit smaller that is the only thing that might cause something - apart from that I don't see any issue. let me quickly check the bios with mmtool again...

Make sure to have backup-bios Should show the bear instead of Zotac I never payed for hwbot so keep the 50 bucks and see it as my this years donation

any countries were retails have not been widely spread yet?

...2 hours under cascade - my "worst" chip and I got bored during release much more valuable information collected here...

I know but even if I wanted to - would take me at least a year to get a similar system together. Systems can be special in many ways - yours is just so uncommon in private sector it's still nice to see - and I read you are waiting for something that CAN overclock - it shows that you are not giving up here just because you have a golden medal. It shows you really want to know what's possible on these babies.

who ever said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" ?! Looks like you proof everybody wrong on that Dave Congratulations for your well deserved top-spot in that wprime ranking!

very nice one! a well-tweaked SB run can still give you a hard time on Ivy + cascade

95W - ALL! I am not sure yet if some very cherry chips might hit 6.7-6.8 when they are good and cold and handled well. 7 gig....puhhh.... also 2D and 3D - looks again a bit different, it's not like you are running your highest clock vantage stable anymore...

I can't stand it anymore - had to leak a first "impression"... IVYINVADERS @AwardFabrik... @dinos yes preeeetty sure - my grandmother is from poland, one of my grandpas left to england during WWII (a brave man, remember me to tell his story while having a beer ) that is the farest point in my family-history I am aware of

Well I think such a pic can't harm anyone and after that ugly opening I might want to keep readers here

there are things that should not be public - specially when it comes to prices within' distribution channels. I know that might sound a bit odd to end-users but imagine what the usual hw-stores now can make out of it...

Preparing reliable information on retails...can't judge out of one or two...

funny how you mix up "discussing" with "whining" and "complaining". Anyway somehow you didn't get the point, mixed it up with retail things, so no need to take this any further...

fits here? maybe new "hwbexclusive"-template?

I am tired of all this ES-madness...whatever "pro" you are - always keep in mind it will be RETAIL we (should) make competition (of any kind) with. So I have cleaned my bench-place, ES-free and waiting for retail now... My gf found some space for some easter decoration also You ask why this deserves a topic? Wait until NDA fall...I will make a first conclusion about what "IVY" does mean for (extreme)overclockers then...

My current "wall of (oc)pain" before IVY will smash up the place and I need to buy some nails
