btw karma it's nice to know that you would have left us for another team as well had you not been invited to PURE....what did we do to you :(

Dinos its really nothing against you guys please believe me. You, James, George, Kosta, Gino, etc are all great ppl and I still consider you friends (hope its mutual). My decision was based on the fact that I want to advance past an "amateur" level. With i4, all the sponsorship goes to Team AU (rightfully so you guys rock and totally deserve it). I dont have much of a chance to be noticed by manufacturers being an American benching for an Australian team. I tried to first get around that by creating the Uberclocker OC Team, and bringing together some other North American members. I still couldnt get any interest, and I was actually asked by a Kingston rep why I was benching for an .AU team if I want sponsorship from US companies. Now I know your gonna say its going to be even harder to get noticed on a dream team with big names. I see it that way to a degree but also see it as a way to network and possibly make some good contacts. Basically this "hobby" is outgrowing my wallet and if I cant find some support somewhere, im going to have to cash in my chips. This economy has hurt my ebay business quite a lot tbh. Which by proxy means I dont sell as much hardware > less toys to bench with for "free." I really hope you understand where Im coming from. I wish i4 and Team AU nothing but the best. I would do anything I can to help you guys out.

Expect some points soon from my brother ILL-LOGIC hes going to have a bench session with me soon. Should be good for at least a 100 points as he is weak in many benches. Even though hes a lurker (works like crazy and plays games rather than browses forums) he wants to bench hard for you guys. And I willc ertainly help him in all ways possible... :thumbsup:

Get me on MSN man YGPM

It appears that all partys have self regulated themselves with some guided re-direction. Please remember that this community is based off of a spirit of brotherhood and positive encouragement.

I think that most of us get the gist of what we're after here at overclockaholics so not much more needs to be covered. The main thing is we don't readily get hurt feelings but rather have an open mindedness to us and understanding. If you think something is bullshit, call it, but stay away from the no no place of personal attacks. And always be man enough to say "Eh Fruck, I'm wrong" when ur rarely wrong.

If it can't be hashed out on the forums without resorting to nastyness, shoot me or your favorite admin a private message and we'll see how much more convoluted we can make it.

Lets put a lil of that frustration into the contest guys. Still lonely on top here. LOL

i am going to chime in here with my thoughts as i would fall under the 'pro's' category still using XP. i too believe XP is faster in SPi 32M, with that said, i haven't spent a significant time tweaking W7...actually couldn't say i ran 32M on W7 ever. i have never seen anything to contradict this either.

for you guys getting lower times in W7, can you run your best most tweaked run at 4GHz - 1000MHz 7-7-6 or 7-8-7 even - 4GHz uncore? possibly on a Classified? just for a reference time as there is a ton of data at 4GHz. the average is around 8m 44s for a well tweaked XP on Classified. a screen with CPU Tweaker for memory sub-timings would be great for comparison purposes. different motherboards are going to give different results, RTL/B2B CL/etc... all get set differently by different boards...but from another board would be fine as well.

any other W7 screens at 5GHz or higher would be great as well if you have them so i can compare to my slew of XP work. again Classy would be great but on any MB would do. unfortunately i am not at home right now so i can't partake in any direct comparisons at this time, just able to compare to screenshots i happen to have access to.

here ya go did it on my lunch break for ya :) 8m59s with 4.5gb wazza lsc but 24 processes running :blush:

I better try to get a better run in to make sure I don't get slid at the last minute.

awesome, thanks. here is a screen shot of a properly tweaked XP at pretty much the exact same settings. i found one that matches your RTL and subs as close as i could. as i said, i still haven't seen anything to suggest that W7 is even in the same ballpark as XP/2k3 for 32M. even though you are running 3GB and have all 4 cores enabled - which is worth about 4-5 seconds i think compared to 6GB/2 cores enabled - the XP setup is still a lot quicker. this is my standard XP and process for 32M...
