saying "it does XXX mhz" and really proofing and giving a guarantee on a certain clock are 2 pair shoes... I wouldn't pay a cent for a 5900+ chip without insurance and hard proof. if you buy pre-tested crap from some stupid forum kids trying to make some money - yes you will most likely end up like you've written...but that's not what we are talking about - we are talking about "professional-pretesting" like shops in germany have done before successfull and HONEST.

If I would have the money - I would honestly consider buying a pre-tested chip after having 20 pieces of crap...I myself have invested 1000€+ in B1tches (2500K/2600K) and all I have is 5670 3D...I could have saved the money and buy that...just a question of calculation either way. You CAN be lucky, but you CAN buy such CPU pretested also - everybody needs to decide. I wouldn't point the finger on people paying such prices - they know what they buy.

got new 2500K - not tested yet but already want write down the data - tests will be edited: 2500K 3106B399 Costa Rica #2470 €dit: 5300 01 @singlestage - another bummer...next... 2500K L119B928 Malay #2195 €dit: 5450 - 54x max Seems my CPU-luck isn't back yet

awesome score! too bad 1670 didn't gave higher score, that could have been wr then - so there we go searching for a better cpu again

It just rockz! old: new (failing at details.txt....): correct details finally! first new "serious score" in my new hood

Time to replace our CUIIs Damn nice card, me wantz -.-

ASUS used to throw it into the mass during Cebit and GamesCom - I have found a lot of these kits while cleaning for my move from berlin to my new home

warm up for the pro league? great 01!

Hehe waiting for that also all the time Nice job, you might be the first owning vince in an 01 record on the same day This is a race to 136k from now on

wow sick!!!

So true - people seem to forget about the roots of overclocking sometimes

This is only my opinion and I want to be honest: If you see things like that - you have not the right motivation behind overclocking! it is about bringing hardware to it's limit, nailing a first place (global or in a certain hardware class) after days / weeks of work but benching just for the team ranking - I can't understand that. When I started overclocking 10 years ago there wasn't teams at all and we all had maybe the best times of our life. You seem to take team-ranking WAY TO SERIOUS guys!

You see it wrong! 1. Smaller teams get a chance finally! 2. Big teams can organize attacks on certain rankings where they have no good scores until now 3. cheap and older hardware get's more attractive, also different hardware - I don't see anything negative in that Overclocking is not really a "team-sport" imo - back in the early days everyone was doing it for their own fun. Sure you have friends which can help you a lot and it is nice to see the team at a top-spot but personally I bench for myself in the first place to compete one-on-one with others. The team-ranking is just a "side-product" for me. I don't think anybody will quit just because he can't help the team - that is bs - if you like overclocking, you like it for your own purpose! Well the positive response from these guys comes for another reason: rev4 targets the wishes and long-term motivations of guys that have been doing it for years. It brings (back) a lot things into the rankings why people actually have done overclocking for years - global scores together with reward on breaking top scores in popular hardware-classes. Honestly there was nothing I could agree with you in your post

Awesome!

But they are using different bottles which are more efficient - got that "beer-pot" from leeghoofd during cebit

Now testing: beercooling, but as you can see, it quickly consumes the beer - working on improvements ^^

Exactly! There is written "300 points limitation" on some pages still but this is a mistake. Your 20 best hardware-submissions will fully count on the total points in the oc-league!

LOL another victim of yours

you could have made the same score with only one card

Don't blame me it's Otterauge posting these kinda videos when he overloads PSUs with his self-build psu-tester

There is only one idea I have. 1. You create a new account on youtube called "hwbot-channel" 2. There you can upload own videos AND 3. under "favourites" you add people like SF3D and me and so their videos will be displayed in "hwbot-channel" also For example here is a screenshot of AF-channel.

Nice database!

Sum it up here in a row, with dates and links please lazy massman Nobody wants to check your old news of weeks/months ago €: or maybe let Christian do it for a bit of "crew-fame" LOL *searchesforcover*
