I completly disagree Banik

If anything I think the OC league is more prestigous than the pro league.

No suckleware users here, no disrespect to Pro suckleware users.

It is just a different playing field when you had to spend the money for the parts IMO

Yup no doubt it and I completely agree that spending your own money to set records is much more harder and respectful as well (and as we all know though Splave is in Pro-OC but he receives only handful of a product but spends a hell lot more from his own pocket)

But I dont remember where exactly but its the Pro-OC league ranking which is being displayed on the right hand side of hwbot. Which is what everyone sees. For OC League ranking one has to select a drop down and select OC League. You see the difference. Not everyone would even see those ranking except for a few who are regular on hwbot or want to check their own ranking etc.

I see your point bro, but in all due respect, Evreyone in the overclocking league knows very well who Patch is. Ahhhh lets just say one of the most prolific overclockers in the world today. he along with Joey and Bren have competed on a world stage with the best in the business and none are in the pro leauge. When Al competed at that level he was not in the pro league at that time. And I think it is a fiar statment to say these 4 gentlement are some of the best in the business hands down. I would think all thier peers would agree with that statment being pro's or not.

Titles are what they are but Michael Jackson said it best

"I don't want to spend my life being a color"

That is reflecting on race but it works the same way in overclocking, why spend your time being a title, is it not enough just to be one of the best at what you do? and does someone joining the pro league or dropping to the enthusisat level make them any better or worse at overclocking ???


I for one would be happy if it just returned to the way it was, one league

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 ............ :laughing:

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

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 ...... :rofl

Bastards ............ :morpheus:

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. :thumbsup:

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 :blink:

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

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......

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

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.

I just want a scaling platform back. I feel for you guys for having to deal with sandy bridge for a year lol, Ivy bridge prolly wont be better. Here is my pattern Buy chip from MC drive home, test, fail, sell on ebay repeat order. So far my first chip is the best chip comming in at 57xx mhz. found an extra 60mhz in a 8 degree window between -20 to -28c. Now I try every 5 degrees from -20 to -100 at blinky cursor disease. On a positive note Ln2 last ALOT longer than when I benched x58.

Has anyone noticed a pattern between the Malaysia an Costa Rica chips? I had 1 Maylay an it stopped at 5.1 an some change.

the last 5 2500ks I benched x55 x57 x54 x53 x54 all same batch all costa rica decent batch it seems

both of my 2500k's that were good (a 56x and a 5700 chip) were both costa rica.

had two malaysia chips and both were 51x chips....

the latin passion must be doing something to these chips.....

That's the only reason I wanna try mine on ln2 to play with the temp my ss evap temps are high -50c when garage is cold and low -50 when its in the 70+ F

I want that extra 60mhz would take me over 6ghz :P

you didn't sell that chip yet :Dizzy:

Whew. I'm beat. $1000 in LN2 over the last month. Many hours. Wish I were better at tweaking 03, but I can't complain about the Matrix clocks.

Time to do a massive hardware sell off and take a break from the global scene for a spell. Maybe do some casual AMD CPU benching with my birthday present. :)

Found the limit of the Matrix. Could complete 03 with 1625 core, but efficiency takes a big hit with those extra 10mhz. Very narrow benching range in Trolls: gets too warm for the core above -177, but coldbugs the memory below -182 when transitioning to Nature. Can't use more than 1.62v at temps that low or it cracks every time.

Dude that is off the chain working within those parameters.........

Great score man ..... :thumbsup:

Crush some AMD FTW ......... little less nerve racking fo sho

Edit:

How much you paying for juice ???

Lowest I can find around here is 2 bucks a lieter, had one idiot that wanted 7 bucks a lieter ...... LOL

great job patch! now get rid of those and get some 7970s! rofl

ps how i feel when I bench old amd stuff

2900xt today

LOL ............. and in three days 580's will be in that catagory ........... :ohcrap:

Visious cycle :laughing:

rofl

dropped to 13th ............. :ohcrap:

See if I can scrounge up a card to bench tonight ............ :laughing:

Saw that, u see all them 3D records by Andre? Trippy.

Yea, 580 globals are taking a beating top to bottom and the egg is sold out

With 3 different cpu's. I knew i should have kept that 6ghz gulfie i had. oh well i don't have a R3E anymore either. lol

Scores are off the charts ffs. As you said Kal Trippy. Nice to have that kind of sponsorship.

Got a HD2400, this thing is kicking my ass

WTF driver ???

9.12 suck
10.3 suck
10.5 suck

just grabbed 7.12 .............. LOL

fingers crossed as I have the clocks, just need a driver


Edit:

Epic Fail :micro:

:Dizzy:

witchie im using 10.4's with 2900xt

Are you sure you are looking at the right scores? I know at first I was like WTF but I was looking at 2900xt gddr5 scores when mine is gddr3

I will check it out when I get home, thought I would give win 7 a shot tonight and see if I can do any better

AM won't work in XP for some reason ??? is the version on the server XP friendly ??

i though that gen ati only went up to gddr4 :Dizzy:


but yeah ATI driver do sux really bad no joke!

got a better super pi 1m when trying to work on the 32m :laughing:

well done dom dom, how did you get the tweak to work?

nice to see such great benching goin on over here!

Grats on 12th place .......... :thumbsup:

j/king :laughing:

Good job man, we will have to mount a comeback

the counter attack is already planned! :D

SOME MORE RUNS BUT HAVE TO GO TO WORK :P
