    Nothing lasts forever - OC weekend in Intel Sweden

    in Extreme overclocking

    Posted

    This thread will be also my last for a long time if not forever.

    There is just no more point to loose all the time in life to push scores which will please us overclockers. I feel very pleased and happy when I remember all the events and fun nights with my friends. Life just goes on and after these 12 years of overclocking I have nothing else to achieve. I got all I ever dreamed and even more.

     

    We are really small community and we have been able to do amazing stuff in past years. Keep it that way.. all the stupid fights and rumours etc. are just not worth it. No one will be able to change how oc scene evolves and the changes in past 4 years have made it boring and stupid. That is my opinion and you don't need to mind about it if you disagree.

     

    I thank all my cooperators and sponsors who made all this possible.

    I thank specially Shamino who took me in to Foxconn OC project and Marcus Hultin - Kinc for taking care of me since 2007. Sami "macci" Mäkinen was the key for AMD stuff, thank you my friend!

    Thomas Melzer from intel have been the key thing all these years, so big thanks to you too! Niko Tivadar from EK made the high quality pots possible, so thank you as well!

    There are many many other guys but can not thank all separately.

     

    Thanks to HWbot for great site and thanks for letting me be part of it so many years in crew (Pieter and Frederik).

    Thanks to all of my friends all around the world. It is amazing to see how good people there are no matter where you are from.

     

    I wish all the best to you all and have fun in life. Keep pushing it like Oliver would say!

     

    Bye!

     

    Couldn't say it any better what overclocking was in the past and what it is these days - take care of you petri and best wishes for your future!

     

    It was an honor benching with and against you, pushing each other and meeting on Cebit...:celebration:

    When you realize that all the hardware you own is worth a quite expensive car (which is why I'm going to sell some hardware soon haha ugly.gif)

     

    did exactly that end of last year :celebration:

    crafted hardware into car :P

     

    Still need some AwardFabrik and gear decals xD

     

    @topic

     

    ...you use old 3960X + Rampage IV Extreme which almost made you going into bankruptcy 4 years ago for average case reviews these days...o_O

    (such a lame case...can't even fit the board properly but claims up to 420mm radiators...pffff)

    ASUS Rampage IV Extreme 5.5 3960X ( cooler if you want)

    in Sold

    Gotta sell my good old 3960X now after many years of fun and joy :(

     

    Item Details

     

    Rampage IV Rampage

    - with the box in good condition as well as most of the accessories (maybe some sata cables missing but manual, oc key etc is all included)

    - one pin didn't survived one of the first sessions but it never made a difference - board still runs fine

    - unfortunatly the black ram slots stopped working some time ago - I can only use the red channel and sometimes only double-channel (yet in all red slots), I have no idea if it is the board or cpu - no other board to check

    - didn't try re-seating the CPU or cleaning the contacts, as it lately was an un-used system and I am short on time for testing old hardware

     

    hand-picked 3960X

    ~5550 max on single stage for "small benches" and ~5150-5200 on single stage fully loaded...never had the chance to give it LN2...but it loves cold for sure

    ~5100 MHZ max on air 1m

    Price

    Let's say 750€ including shipping within EU and you can play with it - it has some minor bugs but still kicks ass when you freeze it...can send you the cooler with it if you want
