Now will probably sell off as well.
Thinking on a lot of scenarios
1.Quit whining, suck it up and bench when they tell me too and what they tell me to bench (Hitler 1939)
2. Blow off HW Bot all together and sell off benching gear , limp along with an aged gaming rig (economically sound)
3. Sell everything and start with a fresh new gaming build and ROG surround grab Project Cars and brace for Battlefield 5 (Front runner)
4. Find another hobby

Dayum Witchy, 100+gpus! hoarder!
1. Bench wut you wanna bench when u wanna bench it.
2. Gaming, u should game, yeeup, definitely should game sumtin at some time at least
3. Rog Surround is pure awesomeness when the game u play plays nicely with surround. Theres been a few times that I've said to myself "Self, running SLI 2 or 3 way on a single monitor is much less problematic for a wider variety of games than surround".
Just as an example, ARK: Survival evolved, this game doesn't scale FOV proportionally in surround. Theres workarounds for the INI files but thats just another thing to do. Also, I only get 16fps in Surround, wtf?
Battlefield handles it just fine at 100+ frames. Star citizens not too bad in Alpha state. Hardline. Probably alot of other titles. But there are a few that struggle in 3 monitor. A decent single monitor may be preferable when they up the refresh rates. I'd wait till then and go single screen I think.
BUT! productivity wise, 3 screens is fantabulous to work with. Having so much realestate to throw folders, icons, windows anywhere is cool.
4. Tech in general is the hobby, difficult to escape in any form, overclocking, gaming, setting up your wifi, network, surfing the net, hwbot, mini-challenges.
+5. I've taken a good hard look at the internet of things lately. Facebook and social media sites are finally reaching for the throat of websites and forums by making themselves a one stop shop with groups and forum like areas. Widespread community exodus in favor of FB is evident almost everywhere. Soon FB and other social media sites will capitalize on it and make the bigger bucks by charging for "Pages" and "Groups" or just using them as advertisement spam zones. I predict this will lead to a re-boot sending users back to their old communities. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
In any event, we plan to keep doing mini-overclocking contests mostly centered around a variety of older platforms and recent stuff. Hopefully other overclocking sites keep up the same regardless of the direction hwbot goes in. This will keep our oc community thriving in light of any drastic or damaging changes at the bot. Cuz at the end of the day I still have fun finger blasting bios settings trying to see if I can do better.
