The QX should be fun, I actually have some good RAM on it and the board is a ASUS P5Q or something. Supposed to be a very good board. I hope it does well.

Thanks Rogue :) :hug:

Wow you guys are kicking butt ... nice work at the bot and congrats on 2nd place

looks like it is turning out to be a lot of fun trading blows at the bot.

Keep up the good work guys

Hey chicken if you can find one of these it will serve you better with a Quad the the P5Q.... it may have just been me as well but I struggled with the P5Q using a quad.

was a very nice dual board though. If you have trouble and can find one of these used or cheap it is a great preformer ..... FSB Quad monster

Good luck to you

Thanks WD :toast:

I'll see why this board can do. I wouldn't mind getting another board later.

Thx WD, when are you gonna get your chance at the clarkys?

Unfortunatly no time soon. Time and budget constraints are making the clarkie imposible at the moment ..... I am hoping that the time constraints will soon be lifted once this SS build is done and work slows a bit in late Janruary and February I will be able to really take the new tech station out for a spin... with my 920 I have a 1900XTX, 8800 GTS 640, 9800GTX, 5850 and a 5870 to roll with. I have been posting some stuff and will continue over the next two weeks, but nothing serious yet ....

Then it will be time where I can sit down take my time and really enjoy myself. Work on some settings you and rom helped me out with and bring the cold as best I can.
Hope I can grab a few points along the way.... But really just looking forward to some down time doing what I enjoy .............. overclocking ...... :thumbsup:

Ooh, you gonna pimp some old school gpu for popularity boints huh? Its like being highschool all over again, bell bottoms are in again! :thumbsup:

LOL that's the plan FTW ....................... I hope ...LOL

I meant Bot Bottoms. :P

Didn't I mention earlier things were really bad for me? Let's add to that shall we. I got rear ended. That's gonna set me back a bit. :(

Oh that sucks man!!! It's gonna get better just wait and see

oh man im sorry.... taht sucks buddy

Thanks you'll. Thank god for taxes. I get them the 29th. Hopefully I can still set myself straight with that, I miss benching! :toast:

dude i hope i have a decent tax return

Mine was not bad, but now with this I can't use it as I had planned. I was gonna get rid of my debt, have money saved aside, and get everything I needed to finish up my car. I was also gonna put my Phenom II under water. Now I don't know if the money will be enough. :(

:welcome: Lets give Kikicoco a warm welcome to the Gladiator team. He's pushed his hardware as hard as he could, contributed to this community and has a real passion for overclocking :D

:clapping::clapping: Welcome kikicoco!!

Welcome to the team Kikicoco!

I know I won't as I made some money in the stock market last year when it bottomed out. They were all short term sells so my tax rate will be way higher. :thumbsup: :thumbdown:

short selling eh? You got some balls :)

Lol Short term is not selling short :p

Short selling takes some ballz, imo. I play my hand long and strong.

Nah I'm a bull all the way. Just buy low and sell high. Stocks were sittin really too pretty end of 2008. Bought AMD at like $1.85 or so and Ford at like $1.45. Sold AMD around $7 ish and Ford at $5 ish. Could of held out longer but shit it was a bumpy ride back then and any profit was well profit. Gots me a bunch of high dividend yielding stocks now. Averaging about 9.5% annual. Not too bad.

what do you guys use for stocks ?

I have Ameritrade for my stocks and Fidelity for my IRA which consist of mutual funds. Ameritrade is cheaper to trade with on stocks. I have a Zecco account and use to love them but they have changed a few things around and not too fond of them. Of course they are only $4.99 a trade which is nice but I was trading for them in the beginning when you got 20 free trades a month. I quit them beginning of this year. Sold everything and transfered my funds. Damn interest rate on my savings account just didn't cut the mustard. I love trading like I love overclocking, :D

i wanted to get into stocks but i dont know were to start or how to do it.

I signed up and got an info package from Stocktrade a while back but never read it

I loved Fidelity and the way they do things related to the info you can get and the options you have for doing whatever within your 401K. We had them at work for a few years, then the switch was made to Puttman and I don't like the way theirs is setup. I could manage things way better with Fidelity than what Puttman has for options plus Fidelity's site made more sense and had good explanations on what was what.... Puttman's site has you guessing all the time with not alot of help for knowing what's going on in comparison.

As to stocks, haven't got into that yet but I need to learn more about that before diving in.

BTW, if we are going to start talking about finances, maybe this needs it's own post topic....
Overclocking your finances?

Just answered a few questions that were asked. That's all. No harm no foul.

Indeed. :thumbsup:
Nothing wrong with answering a few questions since we know how important such things can be.

Batch # 3849A866

Funny, the guy that I got it off had another one of the same exact batch that couldn't overclock to save it's life :(

Thanks!

I just got a 3946A172 from Microcenter, hoping its a good one.

Good luck, let us know how it clocks :)

Very nice air clocks, did I say "very" cuz I mean VERY! :good:

Thats great. Glad to see he made it to the team.

Welcome to the team steponz

Welcome to the party steponz!

nice, same batch as me. All being different naturally but this likes a fairly even vcpre/vtt at 5+ghz.
