HITandRUN 08-04-2010 06:07 AM

I'll give my best considering the summer is still around and there is lots of activities with the kids! ;)

Kal-EL 08-04-2010 06:46 AM

69_Goat 08-04-2010 07:39 AM

I'll keep on with my stealthy, puma-like attack. :D

Patch 08-04-2010 07:57 AM

480, 5870 Lightning, 275 lightning, 8800 GTS 512.......all 4 of these are gold worthy if I ever find a CPU that can rise to the task (and maybe get somewhere in 2D realm).

Hope it happens in August.

Got my 980X from RMA(have XPower and Classified to test it on), i5 680 from Splave(have UD4P and G80), Got GPU Pot for 480GTX, though met with a small accident, right hand not usable sort of for a week or so, after that hoping to do some damage.....

Splave 08-04-2010 08:06 AM

aah!!!! freak accident I wud say, was planning to have a nice evening but Beer not good for my health, :blush:, had a few beer bottles in freezer, they broke inside it, was removing it when the bottle came completely apart and was falling, tried to use my right hand to stop the glass from falling, and cut my nerve in the right hand palm....blood gushed out like anything, lost almost 2-3 litres of it. 12 stitches, though all this was around a week back, its healing but still cant tilt a dewar yet....

Ouch! As much as I like gladiators benching, don't push it Banik. You want the tendons and nerves to heal well in that area.

Witchdoctor 08-06-2010 01:15 PM

Here ya go Dom ... not sure about b-stock GPU's

but this is a comprehensive list of GPU's based on their current max boint potencial

ao the higher it is on the list the better return you will get reguardless of where you place ..... sort of Boint for the buck , if it were

http://www.overclockaholics.com/foru...ead.php?t=2509

DOM 08-06-2010 01:43 PM

yeah i seen the list thats why i want to get the 8800gts ;)

but im trading my e6400 and 2x2gb ocz ram on dont use for the 9800gt + $40 for me but i know the 8600gt has more points so idk to ask if he would trade the 8600gt and +$60

wut do you think ? or u can send me ur cards when ur done lmao

cuz im using sli 9600gso to game right now lol cuz if i get the 9800gt was going to sli it with the 8800gt

Witchdoctor 08-06-2010 02:22 PM

you can get 8600GT for next to nothing .... just look around a bit

karmakazi 08-07-2010 04:21 PM

Wow even the posts where i joined the team are edited out. this community might not have any jackfruit members, but they sure are letting some jackfruits influence what goes on here.:thumbdown:

Kal-EL 08-07-2010 04:49 PM

I removed the posts as it no longer pertained to the purpose of this thread which is our August assault on hwbot.

OCA isn't interested in getting into another drama fest with Team PURE or anyone else for that matter. We'll revisit the situation at a later time.

Hondacity 08-08-2010 12:41 PM

Relentless hardware fiends.

Splave 08-08-2010 01:50 PM

FACE 08-08-2010 02:17 PM

Yes. inactive indeed.... Time to stretch and blow the dust off the ss... all I need is to get my backplate in the mail and I'm back on. :thumbsup:

DOM 08-08-2010 03:26 PM

i got me 8800GTS 320&640 and made a loop for single gpu today cuz i only have one gpu block

Witchdoctor 08-09-2010 03:26 AM

My 960 sucks ...................... :shock:

POS can't even carry the tool box of my old (B) batch 920)

hitting the wall @ only 4.958 Ghz .... running -44.5C

Pretty much treating it like the 920 and only 2:8 divider so the memory is not even being pushed ....

Played with it for about 3 hours yesterday .... was unable to outdue my 920 on SPI and PI fast .... but hoping for more clock ... hoping to get some settings dialed in by weeks end or my Saturday dice session will need to be moved back :ohcrap:

what am I missing to all you 960 owners out there ?

How does this chip besides the multi and it being a Vcore slut differ from the 920 ?

Thanks

Hondacity 08-09-2010 05:13 AM

my evga was capped @ 4.9ghz before i realized the mobo had bad condensation at the back...

Splave 08-09-2010 05:35 AM

higher multi higher voltage

DOM 08-09-2010 05:43 AM

i would try the higher multi my 920 can get 5+GHz on the ss but only in slow mode

you arn't kiding my friend 1.56 to boot at 4.75 ....

1.58 for 4.9 .....

afraid to put 1.6 in it as I can ill afford to lose a $ 539.99 chip ......... :shock:

may roll with 1.61 on Dice and see what happens .....

MAy have to make a road trip ot the MC for a 920 B ... if they have any

So far not impressed with the 960 .... but who knows ... I will keep working it and see if I can find something it likes other than insane vtt and vcore :Dizzy:

Impossible on my set up .... did pull the chilly three times to make sure I was getting good contact and to see if any water or ice was forming in the socket ....

not even a drop or crystal .... I wish there were as that would be easier to fix than just a lame ass 500 $$$ A batch POS intel carbon copy hunk of effin crap that my old e8600 could eat for lunch ... ....

end rant

Not discruntled in the least .... :blink:

Hondacity 08-09-2010 07:43 AM

id rather ln2 @ -44c you're lucky to get 5ghz...
