Mafio

great idea.

great benching honda

you are right, that's another joke. they advertise mobo and VGA as overclocking heaven, but an "average joe" isn't allowed to have unlocked tools, CB-free bioses, etc etc the good thing is that we are not forced to buy anything, if you don't like how this or that manufacture act simply don't buy its products.

great efficiency and awesome RAM. need to get myself a kit of those EVO TWO

nice thread

it's unfair that someone could buy 4 ferrari when i can only buy one... we must do a rule stating that none could have something better than what i have... sorry but in the last months i benched only AMD cause i hate SB and SB-E crap. i spent the past 2 days clocking at LN2 a bulldozer CPU, 2 days of work plus another bunch of hours of pretesting and i get something like 5 points. but i'm not here bitching (yes, you guys are doing anything but bitching and moaning) because a huge load of noobs with an air cooled 2600k and a DU OS are getting way more points than what i get for my 2 days with the CPU at -190°. this is because i bench for fun, i really don't give a crap about points. i have to agree with Xtreme Addict, points are killing overclocking......

you guys are not giving an opinion, you are asking hwbot staff to change ANOTHER TIME the rules because from your point of view they are not fair. do you overclock for fun or do you overclock for the points ? if you are doing it for the points, sorry, but you better to quit this hobby cause you will never be able to compete against vendor's people like andre, hicookie and the others. if you are here to have fun stop talking about points and just think about benching. 7970 cost to much, easy, don't buy it. you don't need the latest hardware stuff to have fun, you are not forced to buy a 1200 USD graphics card if you don't want. you are here saying that in your country 7970 will be 1200 USD, so, what we should do ? move everyone that will be able to get the card paying less than 1200 USD in the pro league ? there always be someone that will have things before others or at lower price... AMD is really a lot of fun to be benched, if people are fucktard and prefer to bin a 300 USD retarded CPU like the 2600K it's not a problem of hwbot. hwbot can't change people, if they prefer fucktard stuff like SB instead of play with a 7+ GHZ AM3+ chip (that required alot more tweaking and skill to run at -190 than a SB at H20) none can change their mind.

lol, i'll ask them if the wanna trade their shitty SB-E for my dead FX-4100 then i will sell da Biatch and buy 4 or 5 FX-4100 AMD is much much much more fun than that overpriced intel crap IMHO

in europe a 7970 will cost 500+ €... 500 EUR = 636 USD. so really, not much more than what you will pay for it in your contry. on 22 december, and also right now, drivers are really immature. in two months, when everyone will be able to get a card without have to know a guy that work for this or that brand, every results made today will be beaten. so really, i don't understand why you guys are doing this big mess for a thing that will always happen (someone will always have things first than the others, someone will have things paying less money and so on). edit: as for EVBOT it was on EVGA site for so long time, here in EU was sold for 99 € and 2 or 3 months ago it was 60 €. everyone could buy it. EVGA untouchable and ANUS xpander well, you are right, those 2 things are a joke and they should not be allowed cause they are only for "selected people".

so what, here in europe i can't buy an EVGA X79, i can't buy super talent DDR3 and many other things that are sold in USA...then we should put everyone has this stuff in the pro league cause not everyone in every part of the world can buy them... i also have the problem that hardware here cost much more than what it costs in the USA...then put every guys that live in the USA in the pro league cause is not fair for an EU guy like me to compete against someone that pay things less than me. 7970 is sold only in greece, ok, let's put every greek guy in the pro league cause it's not fair that they have something i can't buy at my place.... c'mon...this is ridiculous... do you really need a card at the day one when BIOS are betas, tweaking softwares don't support it, drivers are crap and so on? just sit and wait one or two months, then you will be able to buy the same card in your country possibly at a lower price and have everything working fine.

thanks guys in 2 hours or so i managed to kill the second module, then the CPU worked only with core 1 and 2 enabled. after another hour also the first module died lol. gonna rma this sucker hoping the new one will be better.

+1k for Leeghoofd stop bitching and start having fun

extreme overclocking, you are doing it wrong try againg spldude

awesome CPU, FSB at 575 MHz is kinda crazy for a c2q

nice board, at least it seems it not kills itself like the 990fx do

thx for sharing nothing

great stuff, congrats

Merry Christmas HwBot

nicely done

great score, congrats

ah, what a pity anyway, nice benching

hey honda, why such low vcore?

awesome run grats for the 1st

awesome

awesome score, 140k are so close
