Sincere Apologies

[Chicken Patty]

Well everyone, I am writing to apologize for my lack of support towards the team lately. I have not posted any benchmarks in what seems "too long" for me. I haven't posted hardly, haven't really been around or anything at all. Just lurking to kinda stay in the loop.

I've had a lot going on lately. My mom is getting operated in about 8 hours from now, so that has had me a bit busy preparing since she'll be away for about a week between the operation and recuperation and stuff. Other than that I've been working a bit more as there was a mandatory department class by my companies president. So I've been staying ab it after hours and stuff setting up a PowerPoint Presentation. There's a few other things going on but those pretty much sum it up.

I did receive my PSU back from RMA so I can bench, but I also need some RAM, I only have 2GB of RAM on the i7 right now and the computer is running at a snails pace, I have no idea why. So before I attempt anything I think I will either install XP or go grab a nice set of 3X1GB RAM. So lot's of little factors along with the big ones are holding me back from any benching right now.

Hope you guys understand and I will be back soon, hopefully soon! :toast:

Totally understand man... Get your affairs in order then come back to pwn the bot. Hope all goes good with your mom's operation. :)

Thanks man. Hopefully once my mom is back she'll feel a lot better and things will be better around the house. That'll relieve me of a lot of stress. I'm hopefully getting a lot of things that are overdue on my car done which was holding me back from hardware big time. With those things behind me I can focus on getting some BOINTS then and going from there. In the meantime I'm sidelined :(

[Hondacity]

no worries man....family first in my book...

i hope your mom does ok

my mom had myoma removal last year...she's recovered ok...

[Neuromancer]

Hey David.. hope your Mom does well. I just sent off my supertalent 3GB kit for RMA.. (a heatspreader popped off and ripped all the ICs off with it). When it comes back.. if you still need ram.. If you can wait 2 weeks, hold off on purchase... I will shoot it to you to abuse :)

only 3gb kit.. but gets you up and running for real:)

[thebanik]

We all will be here and waiting, though I dont believe in God but I hope she recuperates quickly and gets back to her commanding self (thats how my mom is, and thats how I look at all Moms, :p)......See personal passion and hobby should come much later in the order of preference/importance when compared to your family, job and health......

[Witchdoctor]

Don't sweat the small stuff bro .....

The bot is entertaiment and nothing more, it has no real world importance.

I am sure your mom will pull through with flying colors and things will soon return to normal in your life ...

When they do then you can have some fun with us all. The Bot is not going anywhere and will be here upon your return to action.

good luck

[Kal-EL]

Its all G David, best wishes to yer mummy and a speedy recovery :D

[Chuchnit]

Family first buddy. Overclocking is a cyclical thing. Sometimes you are in, other times out. I hope your mom turns out fine.

[HITandRUN]

Could not agree more with the guys! Bench whenever you have time. Some of us have busy life's and kids etc. so there is not always time. I hope everything will goes OK with the surgery mate.

[Dentlord]

Take care of your mom, and get back to benching when you can.

The great thing about a great team is that you kick ass while you are able, then you can have faith that your teammates will be kicking ass while you have down time.

We cant all bench all the time, its just the nature of life (although imagine the points if we all could lol)

Best wishes to your mom!

[Chicken Patty]

Thanks for all the kind words guys, really appreciate it. I'm actually going to head out now to go to the hospital, I'll be lurking around on the phone. I'll keep you guys posted.


Neuromancer, let me know bro, I'll really appeciate it dude :toast:

[ReverendMaynard]

Well guys, my mothers operation was a success, she just got into a room a little while ago. I'll be leaving work tomorrow early to go see her. That's one thing almost out of the way, now hopefully I can straighten the little things out and get back on track :toast:

[Kal-EL]

Thats good news David, awesome :D

The little things will fall into place soon enough, patience my friend patience ;)

Yeah Kal, really is man. Big relief. I hope to be able to get some RAM soon and maybe some badass fans for the Mega, then I'll be good to go for some benches :)

Alright guys,

My mother is on her way to a healthy recovery. She's been home for almost a week or so now. She's doing much better. That has taken much stress off my shoulders and not only that but I got around to doing a few things to my car that were needed so I must say I feel much better now. :D

As far as my rig, I got my PSU back and it's good to go. I just need to setup my HDD's on my main rig so I can empty out the HDD on the bencher and go from there. However before I bench I need one more thing. I need a good 3x1GB RAM kit. If anybody can think of any let me know. I get paid in two days so I'll be ready then.

[Kal-EL]

Congrats on the mudder's recovery David :D :D :D :D

Good to hear your mom is back and doing OK again. As for the 3x1GB kit I used to have the 3x1GB Dominator GT kit and I loved it. I was able to do 920 @ 6-6-6-18. I still hate myself for selling it. I can't find this mem nowhere anymore.

[Hondacity]

hoooray to your mom.... and welcome back...

[Chicken Patty]

Thanks everyone :toast:

[Witchdoctor]

Glad to here your mom is doing well...


This is not a fix all but I have some memory you can borrow until the end of MAy.

3x2 PI Blacks

or

3x2 Perfect Storms


Let me know, They may help you out for a stop gap till you can swings your own set

I can get them out to you ASAP

Real good news about your mom bro .... :thumbsup:

Hey man, thanks a lot. Really appreciate your kindness bro. This is why the PC community and OCA in particular rock! However, I have spoken to Neuromancer and he is sending a 3x1GB kit when it arrives from RMA, depending on the price or what not I might even stay with it. I know you can get me a kit out ASAP but I won't be able to bench till I empty out the drive anyways. So that being said, I don't mind waiting till Neuromancer's arrive from RMA anyways as it might be the kit I'll end up keeping anyways :toast:

You have no idea how much I appreciate it though WD, I just can't get it across enough.

[Neuromancer]

DUDE


Borrow the Perfect storm ;) At least try it out... Granted will make my sticks look like poopsicles... but DAMN... 2133 C8 6GB???? how could you not want to at least try that?

Thats gotta be worth some serious bointage right there in sp32m :) if not other benches

Hmm wonder how much vdimm the supertalent needs to hit those speeds...

Thing is I can't bench yet, there is only 1.3 GB of free space on the HDD right now, even trying to get around windows is horrible. So far it's just crunching till I sort that out.

[Neuromancer]

So you need to borrow a HDD?

Okay... will strap a 500GB to my 3x1GB I am sending you

guess I wont be selling my 300GB vrap after all :p It will make a nice storage drive though LOL

Alright guys

-Mom is almost there, recovery has been great, minor set back, but she's doing great now thank god
-already removed my RAID array and transferred all my stuff back
-Benchers HDD has been emptied, rig runs smooth now
-got the Tri Channel Kit from Neuromancer to try out

So what does this all mean? BENCHING TIME BITCHES!!!!!!!!!! I'll get around to it latest this weekend, I have some construction at home tomorrow so I won't be able to be using the rigs until I clean them out.

I just can't wait to be back, i've been lost and I miss benching. I already have my 2nd 5770 so I'll have a few cards to try out in 3D Benching.

[Kal-EL]

Are we there yet?

[Chicken Patty]

Are we there yet?
Almost :D

[Neuromancer]

1) Glad to hear it, hope she is still doing well.
2) raid sucks TBH to squirrelly for benching unless you running pcmark SSD same
3) Smooth is good
4) Gladiators look out for each other.
