i was wondering what's the minimum lowest t-boints you can get?
i been getting some 2.9~3.2s i was just wondering
been clocking some of those socket a like i promised, seems like my g.skill ultra 500 is kinda degraded or something cuz it don't wanna run spi 32 @ 200 2.5-4-4-7 anymore when it's rated at 250 at that timing
i am at 2.9v

IMO there are two leagues within the pro league, company employees and regular joe overclockers like suicide phoenix (great guy btw)

I can list what ive gotten for free, a Rampage IV extreme, a MSI 560TI, GTX580 lightning (after breaking the heaven single card WR), 6970 lightning, G.skill 16gb kit, some thermaltake PSU's and a keyboard, thortech psu, geil 16gb kit, mouse.... and it turns out im spending more than I ever have to keep up and make people happy. $1100 chip and $600 motherboard to bench a $300 memory kit rofl! Im very humble to it actually and it goes to show if you want to get there you can, takes a shitload of time and shitload of money but its possible if you want it. To me it is a side effect of doing what I love so its all good...

LOL ........... Dude you are just an outright overclocking animal ............

The skill, money and time you put into this is incredible ..........

And for the record, This was the way I have felt since the NBOC days when we used to just talk about guys getting free shit. You have arived my friend and deservingly so. So whether you are a Pro, extremeOC or enthusisast makes little difference to me.

Me I love to bench, for fun, I am not so sure I would like the pressure you speak of, buying a 1K CPU to bench a half baked kit ....... LOL I don't think so, the least they could have done is send you the 600 dollar kit ......

Bastards ............

waiting for new ^su, more power for gtx580 second run on ln², previous the psu wasn't strong enough.

Have also a 9800gx2, 8800gtx ready for benching then.

Looking for some cheap ass 8800gtx so i can run 1x 2x 3x 4x 8800gtx SLI

Then i sell everything and going for Acards

That sounds like a sound plan.

I remember when I got a 980x never again buying a 1k cpu lol

I'm thinking about getting some ln2 tomorrow wife said no

But looking to get some gold on the 570 but I suck at tweaking for 3d got the cpu but no skill

[Patch]

A-cards. Now that's serious benching.

No desire to go pro. Already have a nice career and there's no way in hell any company would pay me enough to make it worth my time to bench their stuff. Too many strings for me. Only exceptions would be if Intel wanted to give me 100 chips to bin, or if ASUS/MSI gave me 10 cards to bin. There are only 2-3 people in that situation, and they truly work FOR the companies.

Top benchers all know who the top benchers are. The front hwbot page is really for the manufacturers.

Splave/Patch, can we test SB-E max multi on air just like SB???? I know different boards have different telltale signs but want to get just a quick idea......

Depends really, I was told that it doesnt set the multi till windows starts loading now instead of right before. So now you will get a BSOD or freeze during windows loading instead of blinking command prompt.

You can max CPU-z on air 2c2t around where you will max 6c12t for cpu tests on cold.

[Patch]

Yes. Cold gives a little more but won't make a bad chip good.
