Highest oc on the 285 classy was 705/1620/1270, was thinking About picking up some more classified cards so I don't mess up my 285 and an evbot if I can find one.

I did find one on ebay, I was outbid instantly @ $122.

Assassin48 05-11-2015 07:09 PM

Almost forgot to post my new toys

I have a spare evbot but the last one I lent out, dude sold it on ebay for 400 bucks or sumtin and didn't return it.

That sucks, but yea that's what I have been seeing, should of bought one when they were $79 at one point. Who knew they were going to be super rare.

Going to raid 0 the ssds for benching today

Assassin48 05-12-2015 07:06 AM

This friday I have to pay for the pots and next weekend is bench time!

Assassin48 05-12-2015 03:36 PM

So tried bidding on that evbot and I was the highest bidder @ $145 but then I get ( RESERVE NOT MET ). Guess that was a wake up call that I shouldn't spend that much on it Lol

Kal-EL 05-12-2015 07:13 PM

lol raped :P

Assassin48 05-12-2015 08:00 PM

It's @ $150 now, I'm tempted to throw another bid in but I know it won't stop after 1 bid

Skip the evbot, just do some benching, it has been a while. You do not have to compete for a world records right out of the gate. and on the that platform there is no gadget that is going to get you there

Have some fun with this, keep costs down.
There will be plenty of time to spend money later :thumbsup:

Kal-EL 05-13-2015 12:55 AM

I've had a 5960, motherboard and mem's in my cart for 3 months now, lol. Oh oh, and a m.2 ssd.

Assassin48 05-13-2015 06:04 AM

Ok thanks for the helpful advice, I'm just going to get my feet wet with 1156 and see what happens.

Assassin48 05-15-2015 05:48 AM

Newegg has another sale again.

Which is the better deal?

Or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...o2344378-S3A8A

I was thinking that samsung drive would be better so I can do raid 0 with 3 ssd

Kal-EL 05-15-2015 07:23 AM

lol yer on a spending spree of sorts. raid 0 with 3 ssds..... if yer not capped out yet with two then 3 will do it.

Assassin48 05-15-2015 09:19 AM

They both seem like a good deal, don't know what to do.

Waiting on a pm so I can pay for my kp tek9 and gemini pot. Already bought some kneaded erasers from the local art supply store. Just need some armaflex and liquid tape then I'll be ready to bench!

Oh and a cheap gpu..

Assassin48 05-22-2015 03:46 AM

I ended up skipping the 3rd ssd, but this came in 2 days ago

Assassin48 05-22-2015 09:28 AM

Going to clean up the other base on the f1 and gpu pot. I picked up some 1200 sand paper to Clean the surface up. I'm trying my best to bench this Sunday.

Assassin48 05-23-2015 03:28 PM

Cleaned up the dice base with some sand paper, still have to prep the board before I can start.

Kal-EL 05-26-2015 12:19 PM

Condensation issues?

Assassin48 05-26-2015 12:39 PM

So me being a noob again I added dry ice thinking no cbb ( last time benching was amd) and I got a no boot. Didn't have a torch so I hit it with a hair dryer lol

Once I was able to boot I managed a 5ghz oc really quick and that was the highest before I ran out of dry ice.

Going to try again this weekend, I can honestly say I'm hooked all over again.

OC Maximus 05-26-2015 06:17 PM

What are you mixing the dice with? Alcohol, acetone or coffee? :)

Assassin48 05-26-2015 07:29 PM

Acetone for the dice and an ice coffee for me lol

Kal-EL 05-26-2015 08:36 PM

Assassin48 05-27-2015 10:39 AM

So I made the mistake of buying a g3258 off ocn for $40 plus a free sempron 140.

Now the question is what motherboard do I choose?

Assassin48 05-31-2015 06:29 AM

So hunting through eBay I found a dewar and bought it!!!
It's a 30l dewar and the seller guaranteed it to work or my money back!

Kal-EL 05-31-2015 12:18 PM

Perfect for pwntwn!

Assassin48 05-31-2015 02:28 PM

Saw the same dewar going for $350 on another forum, hopefully no problems come up.

OC Maximus 06-01-2015 11:52 AM

Nice find!

Assassin48 06-01-2015 12:38 PM

Tracking info says it will be here tomorrow!

Called up praxair and they quoted me $30 to fill it up!

Kal-EL 06-01-2015 12:52 PM

Affordable!

Assassin48 06-01-2015 01:00 PM

Only things I need are:

Thermos

Cheap gpu
