Preping some singlestages currently - had some riser card tests before and now trying to do some 01 and AM3 with several 8800 GTS cards
Did already tested with RiserCard which was much easier to mount but my new singlestage doesn't have a long pipe yet. I think I must modify it someday. I hate short suction lines. That way it is much better:

my sincerest condolences... Maybe you better never become a parent Chris... everyone knows wasps and gum don't mix... it's in the ten commandments of parenthood...
I better not leave my kids into my benchroom before they are 18
But that could make them think I have some really dirty hobbies

That post gives you a well-cemented place in the Christian Ney hall of retards.

Hi all,
today is a sad day for me - I was about going to bench and looked for "Jimmy the bench fly" around my room. He normally is somewhere around and always made fresh wind with his little wings for me.
I was 4 days on business trip and when I was about to prepare my system today, I found him dead in the rubber
I think he couldn't wait anymore but his first try with rubber ended fatal - I always told him to be carefull, but he just wouldn't hear
:D -
@massman Congratulations and keep up the good work!
@all others: My sincere condolences
-
Turning your screen of during benching is a good one.
HaHaHa
I still prefer the moonlight tweak

Actually, truth is they don't. It's amazing how many people have said to me that they bought a pre-tested CPU or VGA that didn't do the promised speeds.
"Results may vary" - right?
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.
-
Wow. The €1100 was sold too?
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:

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! -
Somebody going to do SLI?
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

Ridiculous. It's far from a sport. Competitive hobby maybe. All I was saying was, when it stops being fun it's time to quit, and not to be so consumed with points that are worth nothing more that to make your e-peen larger or a chance to get some free hardware to bench. Because really, when it comes right down to it, that's all the points are good for.
So true - people seem to forget about the roots of overclocking sometimes
-
It depends on what level you're at, we at Team OCF have gained a ton of members in the last six months because we are a team, and because people can overclock like they enjoy doing, and help us dominate at HWBot.
It's a rather different world further down the ranks than it is at the top I think.
We're more of a team then a collection of individuals.
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!
-
New and exciting hardware (2500k, 2600k) will have a lot of benchers on a team. Why devalue scores because a team has a lot of them. Large teams will suffer greatly.
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
Up and coming overclockers will be disillusioned because there scores are not contributing to the team so they will quit.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!
Most of the positive responses here are from highly experienced elite overclockers. They will become more elite as new entries into team competition will become a thing of the past!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

Massman did it years before
ofn
OWNED
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 ^^

So there will not be a cap on HW points added to your personal ranking score of 300 like there is currently? It will just be your top 20 point receiving scores?
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!
What if ... Sandy Bridge-E LGA2011 has the same clock walls as Sandy Bridge? (image thread)
